Hi I'm Natalie

[bpX4]

Hi every1, my name's Nat and I'm new.

I found this site while I was surfing the web looking for inspiration to deal with my fears in life and my insecurities. So far after only a short read, I've found it really useful =) I hope to be able to chat more with some of you as I continute along the path of self enlightenment.

PS My parents messed me up because genetically and environmentally my parents are OCD about cleanliness, completely self unaware and bad at communicating effectively. My mum has anxiety issues and gets agitated easily. She has alot of fears, and is very conservative. As such, I find myself constantly doubting myself, and triple checking my work or research before I make any decisions. I lose my head easily in stressful situations, am a control freak and a perfectionist (but not in a good way, I beat myself up over little things). BUT I don't hate them, I'm glad they've taught me many lessons about myself, by looking at thier behaviours.

Hey Natalie,

Welcome to the forum.

Genetically and environmentally I didn't fall in golden hands either
Luckily I found out that personal growth is possible without much help of my parents.

Hey Nat,

Kids and parents mix like oil and water, especially when they become teens

Wait till you become a parent, same thing, though you'd be on the other side of fence

Do you have a sense of humor ? Your name reminds me of a limerick

There was a young lady from Zat
Who had triplets, Nat, Pat and Tat
She had fun in breeding
But hell in feeding
When she found there was no tit for Tat

Sorry....could'nt resist. I do hope you're ok with dat
