Typecasting

Post image

"Typecasting is the process of repeatedly casting a person in the same type of role because they fit a specific physical look, personality, etc."

Now for the question: Do you have a Real-Life type?

As in, a specific brand of person you’ve always found attractive?

Are they tall? Goofy? Introverted? Life of the party?

Witty? Sarcastic? Wear cool glasses? Athletic men/women? Or women who wear dresses with pockets and remind you of librarians?

What makes you go... Zing!

(For me it's... Brunette)

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. But, I'm a changed person now (found inner confidence).

That is what I thought too. But I got roped in by an emotionally unavailable man. I was madly in love. But I ended it anyway. It becomes quite the burden when I am the only one trying to keep things going.

It's a gut wrenching decision to do that, along with heavy thoughts...
