Your Existing Situation: Seeks to express the need for identification in a sensitive and intimate atmosphere where esthetic or emotional delicacy can be protected and nurtured. (yeah, I agree with this)

Your Stress Sources: Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the herd. Her control of her sensual instincts restricts her ability to give herself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow herself to merge with another. This disturbs her. as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; she feels that only by continued self-restraint can she hope to maintain her attitude of individual superiority. Wants to be loved or admired for herself alone; needs attention, recognition, and the esteem of others. (I have never wanted to stand out... I actually want to blend in. I do always feel like I need to surrender to someone else's whims in order to feel loved. I'm not sure quite how to take "individual superiority," to be honest. I do want to be loved and admired for myself alone. And I do need the attention, recognition and esteem).

Your Restrained Characteristics: Trying to calm down and unwind after a period of over-agitation which has left her listless and devoid of energy. (see my last few entries) In need of peace and quiet; becomes irritable if this is denied him. (most definitely. I need some for myself every day). Insists that her goals are realistic and sticks obstinately to them (me? nah...), even though circumstances are forcing her to compromise. (See my comments on surrendering above.) Very exacting in the standards she applies to her choice of a partner. (not really)

Your Desired Objective: Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail. (absolutely no argument coming from this end of the computer)

Your Actual Problem: Needs to achieve a stable and peaceful condition, enabling her to free herself of the worry that she may be prevented from achieving all the things she wants. (agree, but insert: and believe that it's possible to achieve anything she wants)

Your Actual Problem #2: Wants to be valued and respected, and seeks this from a close and peaceful association of mutual esteem. (see any entry in this diary relating to LGM)
