Getting Clarity in Hindsight--Part 2

Continued from post above.

Sometimes in school, we did a commercial personality test which was supposed to show our aptitude for different occupations.  But my friends and I never found any benefit from those tests, I'm sorry to say....  Looking back now, I believe the work that appealed to me the most in elementary school was to be a child psychologist when I grew up....  That would've been interesting and rewarding.

People who study psychology sometimes have some minor problems that they can learn about and help their own lives...and I believe I could've done that with all my family problems....  I could've healed myself!

My eating disorder was a slightly bigger thing that might or might not've benefitted from child psychology training...?  I might've needed separate treatment, as I got?  But just having a purpose and a cause to live for makes a difference!  I floundered for a long enough time without having a definite career.... 

People have accused me of being gay when I was young.--I had other issues and was very busy, as I've written here and elsewhere.  [I didn't have time to worry about my own, or anyone else's, sexual orientation!]  But I'm glad I can look back now even in hindsight and make more sense of things.
