Nope. I would have done better with less interest from my parents and more space.

I wasn't all that concerned with finding out anything about myself until I was a teenager. At this point, this would have been true. At this point, I rather like myself though.

Some people did.

I'm pretty sure some people did, although it was never much of a concern until recently. I would not have noticed either way.

To what?

I've always been pretty isolated, although whether it was good or bad varied from situation to situation. I've often not felt good and not known why.

No.

No.

Definitely.

I didn't have a particularly happy childhood, but I don't think there was anything special about dreams.

Stuck around where? What justice? Against what? I suppose this would be a no.

What does this mean?

Quite often true, but there are non-typological reasons for this.

I was indifferent to my parents, and I didn't like the way they wanted me to be sometimes.

Definitely. Or if I didn't mentally prepare, I got rather confused.

I'm not sure what I appreciated and what I didn't. I don't understand the question.

Definitely.

Yes.

Very much so.

Some of the questions were confusing. But from the ones I could answer, it appears similar.
