I love that story, too, Jax. What a great brother!

Sometimes, I feel like I'm missing something when I'm in a group. Maybe that is part of what you experience when you say that you don't have a personality, Sidony? They start talking about certain things like the 80s and I have nothing to contribute. Nothing of my own to contribute. I was there, in the 80s. We're the same age, but it's like there's a black hole in my life or something. I just feel out of the loop when that happens. I get a sense of disassociation from the group-like I'm not really there anymore. Reminds me of when I was that age. I don't think I was clued in at all. I was an unknown personality-wise I'd say.

Hmm, Sidony - You've really got my brain going on this one.
I wonder if there is such a thing as a suppressed personality? It would be interesting to ponder what kind of personality you would have if you chose it for yourself. I wonder if a personality gets suppressed or doesn't fully develop when you aren't given a chance to express yourself? Would experience change what personality you ended up with? Do you think you could modify or change your personality if you wanted to? Just exactly how does a personality form?
