I was just talking to my mom, not five minutes ago, and I asked her the question posed on the mainboard by cory. "What movie character reminds you of yourself?"

At first she said I reminded her of Mildred from The Worst Witch. "You were always inventing things, putting together contraptions, going on adventures." -her I think that really says something about her, that she automatically went to the Emily as a child when asked to name someone who seemed most like me. Like someone, she still sees me as this little girl. My mom is a 2w3 XSFJ, by the way.

After I reminded her that I wasnt 7, she said that I remind her of Lucy from the Peanuts cartoon and comic strip. She said I'm bossy, domineering, outspoken, firm believer in my "causes".

I don't see this at all in myself. In person, I'm shy, quiet, moody, etc. I'm not outspoken at all. The last time I remember being outspoken was when my Aunt was treating my 16 year old cousin like a baby, and I told her she was being manipulative in getting Amanda (my cousin) to do what she wanted. That was like three years ago.

Well, ok, so maybe I have been a little outspoken since then, a few times, but it's never been where my mom could have seen or heard me. It just surprised me so much how innnnnaaccurate she was. Hmm...

Maybe I am mean to her. Ok, so I know I am. I can't be myself around her, at all. I'm cold, insensitive and bitchy to only her it seems sometimes. To some people I am warm and kind and uninhibited, and I'm able to laugh and joke with them, but with her I'm not able. I don't know what it is.

She told me once, as we were driving home from the library, "I know why you got those psychology books. You just wanna figure out who the heck you are. I can tell you that!"

That just reinforces my stupid fourish feelings of being misunderstood. Anyway, I told her I reminded myself of Bastian in The Neverending Story, and she said that she could see that a little, but not too much. So, how is this explained? What makes me so mean to her? Is it Introverted feeling? Cory? Mikko? Whaddya say, ladies?
