Hugh - people are obsessed with work defining their lives. You let your personal life define you and that is about as much as you can ask for or want.
Any time I see an adult with a Mohawk or dressing differently than the societal norm I tell other adults who laugh at them that I am jealous of those people who as adults can just wear what they want without fear of a business partner or customer seeing them out in Public with “gasp” a Nine Inch Nails shirt.
I'm low enough on the ladder that there is literally no expectation of any kind of professionalism outside of work. Everyone knows me as the "rock star" who frequents heavy rock concerts and enjoys whiskey and weed. And I honestly don't give AF who knows, from the mail room to the president, as I have zero interest in "moving up" in the corporation.
some of my best friends are very professionally driven, and that's great for them. whatever works for you, do it.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

When my mum mentions my future children I tell her that it won't happen and she gets all sad and scared.
Having children just because your mother wants grandchildren is one of the worst reasons to have children. They aren't accessories.Words of wisdom.Never let bullshit societal norms or the desires of others force you into something you don't truly want for yourself.
What is starting to get to me is people questioning my unemployed status. Is it a societal norm to work?
Psychology is so competitive that you need a very high GPA to get accepted into postgraduate degrees.
If that wasn't the case I'd work part time and study full time. I need to dedicate 100% of my time to my current degree to have a chance at postgraduate.
Had to work to support your partying ways...lol

All you need for a succesful relationship
But I do agree that you need balance in a relationship. One person can be gregarious and the other shy and they even each other out. The problems arise when the gregarious individual is more interested in mingling with others than their partner and when the shy partner refuses to go out at all. A happy medium needs to be struck with all personality traits.
Forgiveness is essential, but also one must not continually do the same thing over and over with a simple 'I'm sorry' afterwards.
Similar interests in cultural things is a plus and then the other person also brings to the relationship interests that open the others eyes to new things, or not. As long as there is a willingness to TRY. (as long as the ask is not ridiculous).
A pure and magnetic sense of humorI can understand wanting someone to have a sense of humor, esp about themselves. But 'pure and magnetic' ? What does that even mean? And are you bringing the same level of humor to the relationship? Seems like quite the high bar.
If you are going to only date people who eat what you eat, you are getting into judgement territory and that is going to make your pool of possible dates and partners small.
Yes, being sexually attracted to someone is important. But there has to be more than that. Believe me.
I can understand politics being a problem in a relationship. It depends on how much the person cares about politics and how much it effects their actions. I could never date a tea party or Trump supporter. I'm open to any religion, race, background, etc - but that is a line in the sand.
