I love hearing about other people's views. I have to same I'm the same in this respect, I am not affectionate, per say, I cry alot when things happen, but I do it in the background so nobody could see me, but when people tell me about being sick or surgeries I am the same. I ask tons of questions, probably because I think they missed something and I hope to find what they missed and make it better, problem solver is right! I don't think there is anything wrong with you and I'm sure the people around you know you by now and know that this is the way you express concern, by trying to fix it or figure it out... No problem! :) congrats on the WW by the way, I'm also trying to lose some unwanted weight.. ughLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10785555816222267396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-31824008911989105102008-02-13T22:44:00.000-05:002008-02-13T22:44:00.000-05:00I think it is a masculine trait that many oldest c...I think it is a masculine trait that many oldest children (girls) also have. I used to do the same thing, and I still do to an extent. It was seen as annoying, insensitive and harsh to those who I was trying to 'care for' or help, but it's not what I meant. I just wanted to make things better, and I had to know the details before I could try to offer advice. It's the scientist in us, the intelligence over the emotional reaching out with logic.. and LOVE. <BR/><BR/>I worked on it for years, and now I am more 50/50 with my helping and emotional sympathy. I don't see it as a flaw. I see it as a trait of our personalities. Sometimes people appreciate it, sometimes they don't... but it's not a flaw. You do care, and that's what really matters!<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the weight drop! I'm down 7lbs too!!!Mirdonamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079705269583029535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-61675001182485009872008-02-13T14:48:00.000-05:002008-02-13T14:48:00.000-05:00Congrats on WW, and I don't think of you as cold. ...Congrats on WW, and I don't think of you as cold. I am a TERRIBLE person for support. I don't know what to do.

I ask questions and try and get the facts, and i think in doing that, it shows concern. If you didn't care, you wouldn't ask any questions.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your 7 pounds!!!Mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959281023418739885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-82244361230961858642008-02-13T09:45:00.000-05:002008-02-13T09:45:00.000-05:00I don't know what you are talking about.

He tries to fix the problem which frustrates me because all I want to hear are the words of encouragement. Of course, I'm pregnant and can be super hormonal at times, so I can be pretty picky about how I want my husband to react. :) <BR/><BR/>I really don't think its a flaw though. I think people just have different ways of expressing concern.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168028916053587639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-14155437102069815162008-02-12T23:41:00.000-05:002008-02-12T23:41:00.000-05:00I am totally the same way! Are you an oldest child...I am totally the same way! Are you an oldest child? Someone once told me it was because I am a fixer and not a fusser. I also have very little patience for sick husbands. Its as if they think they can cough and complain while we women can have a leg amputated one day and be home doing laundry the next.<BR/><BR/>P.S. thanks for the comment so I could find your blog again!
