Is something wrong with me?
Dr. Peterson, Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this, even if it doesn't get answered. I am a happy 29-year-old male, a police dispatcher, have a perfect little boy at the age of 2, and I have a beautiful wife who is an RN that I love dearly. Why does it seem that even though I have everything I need and should have in life, at least culturally and spiritually, I still feel unfulfilled for some reason? I feel as though there is something else out there I should be doing, but I have NO IDEA what that is or could be. My personality traits and sub traits scores from your understandmyself.com personality assessment are as follows: AGREEABLENESS: 43rd percentile, COMPASSION: 66th percentile, POLITENESS: 21st CONSCIENTIOUSNESS: 41st percentile, INDUSTRIOUSNESS: 62nd percentile, ORDERLINESS: 25th percentile. EXTRAVERSION: 96th percentile, ENTHUSIASM: 98th percentile, ASSERTIVENESS: 85th percentile, NEUROTICISM: 69th percentile, WITHDRAWAL: 27th percentile, VOLATILITY: 93rd percentile, OPENNESS TO EXPERIENCE: 87th percentile, INTELLECT: 96th percentile, OPENNESS: 57th percentile. I love dispatching but feel as though it is not what I was brought into this world to do. I do not have a college education, fortunately, because I did not get the chance to become indoctrinated. Unfortunately, though, it is hard to find your passion whenever you can't even get an opportunity to try due to not having a stupid piece of paper. I feel like going to college would have been a mistake ultimately, given my particular predicament. I am confident that given my background in learning over the years via youtube and other sources, I am better off with the self-made knowledge I have attained over time. Anyways, is there anything you can offer me to help me get some answers from myself on what it is I should be doing that would give me a sense of meaning in the world? Again, thank you so much for everything you've done for this world! You succeeded in at least attempting to make the world a better place than before you were here, and that is all that matters to me! Trying. Hopefully, ignorance does not win in the end.
Dealing with malicious family with a baby on the way
Hi Dr. Peterson, from Kelowna, BC! We have a baby due this month and are dealing with several overbearing and sometimes malicious individuals from both sides of our families. (Mom, father, sister) Is it possible or worthwhile to manage a respectful and healthy relationship with someone inclined towards tyranny and manipulation? Thank you, Loren and Charity K.
