No I'm not a therapist! I won't tell you what I do because that would be breaching the 'Real Life' rule, but I love my job and it has nothing to do with analyzing people. And I'm not freaked out by you having seen a therapist. I've been to one as well. It was ages ago when I was growing up and had serious issues with my parents. My therapist was actually okay, she gave us some good advice but of course my mother never followed it.

So if you're a freak for seeing a therapist then I am too. (Seriously stop thinking so low of yourself, you seem really nice and despite the running away from emotions thing, more open than most guys I know. I don't care about your dysfunctions, we all have them. And isn't not hiding our dysfunctions what these emails are all about?)

I have the opposite problem with meeting people. I can usually make a good-ish first impression but when people get to know me better...that's when they bolt. In a way that's worse. At least when people don't like you based on a first impression, you can pass it off as awkwardness or a bad day. When it happens later they're actually rejecting you. And that sucks.

Anyway, enough with the pity party.

Miss Congeniality huh? No wonder you kept that quiet. (In all seriousness it's ok; we all have our guilty pleasures. And I feel special that I know that about you and no one else does ) And I don't think you're gay! No man who appreciates Sandra Bullock can be gay.

My favourite childhood movie? Hmm, I also watched a lot of Disney movies and my favourite was probably 101 Dalmatians (I loved the book as well). The story was so sweet and I've always loved dogs. And I liked the idea that two parents (even doggy parents) would do so much to rescue their children. I always wondered if my parents would do that for me. (Doubtful). I liked Peter Pan as well; it was sweet how Wendy looked after everyone. I was never afraid to grow up though; I always planned out my life and wanted to start living it. (Sadly things hardly ever go to plan). I'm sorry you were forced to grow up too fast, it sounds like you had a tough time. But at least you had Peter to help!

On a similar note, what's your favourite childhood book?

I liked reading as a kid. Not as much as my brother because I liked sports as well but I read a bit. I read a lot of Enid Blyton so probably the Magic Far Away Tree books. I loved the description of all the tree houses and rooms in the trunk and magical lands at the top. (Especially the Land of Goodies! I read that chapter so many times and used to check all the top of the trees in case anything was up there. Sadly there never was).

What about you?

P.S. Be more optimistic! You seem like a 'when' type of guy to me!
