You Are an Ingrid!
You are an Ingrid -- "I am unique"
Ingrids have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.
How to Get Along with Me
- * Give me plenty of compliments reviews for my fanfics. They mean a lot to me.
- * Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself. Hubby it also helps if you remember to hit the laundry hamper, one would think you would be able to do this after 13 years.
- * Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
- * Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little. Flowers will work just as well.
- * Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting! If you do, I'll just deny it anyway.
What I Like About Being an Ingrid
- * my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level
- * my ability to establish warm connections with people
- * admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life
- * my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor
- * being unique and being seen as unique by others Ha! I'm unique not just weird. Take that HS cheerleading squad and clique witches.
- * having aesthetic sensibilities
- * being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me
What's Hard About Being an Ingrid
- * experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair especially when my Muse ditches me in the middle of a writing challenge
- * feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved
- * feeling guilty when I disappoint people
- * feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me
- * expecting too much from myself and life
- * fearing being abandoned
- * obsessing over resentments

Ingrids as Children Often
- * have active imaginations: play creatively alone or organize playmates in original games I've been writing since I could hold a pencil and making up stories since I could talk.
- * are very sensitive According to my mom, I cried over everything including dead butterflies.
- * feel that they don't fit in I didn't fit in but I learned to be OK with it. I now have a useful and fulfilling life, unlike the HS cheerleaders and clique witches who made sure I didn't fit in. Almost all of them are divorced and miserable.
- * believe they are missing something that other people have
- * attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc. My favorite teachers were Mrs. Blake who taught AP Biology and Mr. Wray who taught AP English.
- * become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood Actually my father worked around this by encouraging me to disagree (and learn to agree to disagree) as long as I did so respectfully. This ended up being the most useful skill my dad ever taught me.
- * feel lonely or abandoned (perhaps as a result of a death or their parents' divorce)
Ingrids as Parents
- * help their children become who they really are Here's hoping I raise three strong independent young women
- * support their children's creativity and originality That is why I allowed my middle daughter to wear a purple sweater with orange leggings and sparkly silver shoes to school. (She was 5, OK) My oldest shares my workroom/studio. My youngest
- * are good at helping their children get in touch with their feelings How else can I raise empathetic children who learn how to make the world a better place?
- * are sometimes overly critical or overly protective According to my oldest, I'm both.
- * are usually very good with children if not too self-absorbed I do my best to schedule my 'me time' in order not to be considered self-absorbed.
