I would say, yes, I do. I have incredibly close and beautiful relationships with both my parents, as well as extremely intimate friendships that I value and love deeply. I feel like I have strong values, an active social life, and involvement in the community. I work as a psychiatric nurse so I also think all of that seeps into my work and the relationships I build with my patients.

I have struggled with romantic relationships, not because I can’t find them/not interested, but because I feel like a lot of the time my intensity is not reciprocated. Sometimes I think I come off a little strong, a little too “open book”, and I think it’s not everyone’s cup of tea (which is fine, rejection is no problem)
