All of the quotes below from your posting sound very Fourish to me.
I was fascinated by the ocean (despite my 2 drowning experiences at a young age). I loved to draw sharks. The ocean was so frightening and unknown and exquisite to me....I was drawn to it in a way.
: -With my friendships, I have had an "attachment" thing with one other person who is dominant.
I formed connections following around a trouble-maker. Ironically, I was always considered a "good kid" in spite of all this. But the point is...I attached myself to another kid (sometimes he was a brat) and he was the leader.
: -I was never popular in any of my classes...I usually had some close friends, and a best friend. I was also quite sensitive growing up, it was easy to make me cry. I never was in the "inner group" of the most popular kids....
I don't think I was ever connected with my parents...my mom worked during the day, and sent me to pre-school, day care, or babysitting. My dad worked nights and slept during the day, so during my early years I didnt get to connect with him at all.
: -I always sympathized with the underdog or neglected types
-I was constantly in trouble for "not listening", "not paying attention", "not following directions", and being off in my own little world. It was natural for me to daydream....and then my teacher would tell my dad....and my dad would spank me with a paddle. Once he locked me naked in a dark bathroom after whipping me with a belt.
growing up, I was fed constantly that what I was doing is bad.
