"Mrs chatting I thought about this, I of course would like to say 0%. But the truth is I am more for filled as a person when I'm with my husband. He makes me whole, I'm calmer & happier. I'm happy in my own skin & company, but given the choice I prefer the person I am when I'm with him. I am & always will be a strong independent woman, I guess he enhances all that, and hopefully I do the same for him, that's what marriage is about.

"Though I believe who I am is engrained in me as a person, I think the people you surrounded yourself can help unlock your own potential. For example, I didn't get to being in the career I am without learning from others. And it's something I've wanted to be at an early age. And I've been lucky enough to have some amazing inspirational people who've helped me achieve that aim. I think we need people in our lives who inspire us, or make us question ourselves in order to make us the best version of us ![]() Wise lady ![]() | |||

"I can be content in my own company often when life is normal But lockdown has definitely made me realise that I really value the company of others " This! I am very much an introvert, happy with my own company in normal circumstances, and sometimes even craving some alone "me" time. But the lockdown made me realise how much I miss my colleagues and the service users, how much they are important part of my life. Not to mention my partner, who I used to see every weekend but was unable to see during lockdown until the "social bubble" was introduced. | |||

"My roles in life give me purpose and identity and allow me to many aspects of myself to flourish. Mother, friend, daughter lover, colleague. I'm a whole person on my own.. but as humans, we naturally rely on interaction and relationship to regulate eachother on a bio chemical level. I totally thrive on others to help to make me a well rounded person. I work best when im part of a tribe or team. I bounce off others ideas, experiences, knowledge and energy. I also love retreating into myself, solitude by choice and delving deep into myself. Ultimately, I am the mistress of my own destiny and have all my own resources within me. But it comforts me to know that we are all connected. It's a nice dance. What a good question OP. I liked pondering that. " Great answer ![]() ![]() | |||

I was probably a bit dismissive with my earlier comments about being mostly a loner, when you think about just who you interact with daily, who you need to and who you want to, especially with the kids and showing them more ideas and viewpoints than just your own. The wider community all helps with offering them different things and me I guess. | |||
