writer of psychology articles and fiction

[acousticeagle]

G'day. I'm Ac E, I thought I would put something in here to tell you a bit about myself. I have been here at the psych forum for sometime and try to make myself useful by adding to posts from my own reading, observations, personal experiences and empathies. I think that, overall, this forum's a good one. A lot of places I've been have been filled with so much people-junk that it has hardly seemed worth the while to stay.

For a little while I was intrigued with the social networking site called "The Experience Project". Well, for the ten months or so I was there, I saw it deteriorate away from the original 'vision' of the networking site designers, to just another rubbish place filled with things that I remember from the old IRC chat days.

So I have  been pleasantly suprised here at the forum. I feel to comment on that which I feel confident to do so in. But I have noticed others making pithy IRC chat-styled comments - this I suppose just to get some points up regarding post numbers. Hey! as an active member here, I'm not fooled.

Thus it pleases me to be able to read  genuinely  considered comments and intelligently-put topic posts. People really seeking answers through the active members here, and the active members making a good effort to apply their own insights. I have noticed some useless discouragements to some of the topic posters - just what good does that egocentric style of comment do to anybody? We're intelligent people here, are we not?

I have a website where I publish my own lay-psychology articles. As psych is one of my main interests I'm always looking into, and observing (and even taking part in...*grin*) human nature. If you are interested in reading some of my stuff go to: http://acousticeagle.wordpress.com/
Right now, I'm writing about psychopathy and notably, sociopathy.

A little more about me. I'm a (almost) 50 year old female single (divorced 10 years), athletic due to all the bicycle riding I do, and I'm told I'm a lot younger than I look. I would suppose that much of that could be put down to good genes. Anyway, I have decided that I would like to meet a good man who is also interested in psychology. In the Briggs Meyers I'm an INTJ and a melancholic temperament overall - introvert.

I'm in Australia and I thought I would like to meet an American male. Yes, I know this is not a dating site! but I did try that and being the highly sensitive person I am, I freaked and got right out of there! I may be dateless, but not desperate!

I recently moved back to my small country town after living in Tasmania for some years and have thought, well, it's good to be back - but is this all there is?? Not that interested in men that can't match brains with me (gosh, this sounds egotistical *Laugh* - but no, just being honest there.) I've live the independant life for 10 years, been very strong. Now I think I'm brave enough to share my life and experiences.

I will add here that I despise narcissists! LOL I used to be married to one, so I can really write something from experience there. I'm also a writer of fiction, having writing my first novel self-published at Lulu. Also an artist, painter.

If you are reading this, do you think I have a hope of finding Mr Right? I wonder myself......?
Cheers, Ac E
