"Nurturing Instincts" and Women

Post Reply New Topic

I'm quite a nurturing type and very maternal. When I was younger I always liked playing with the little kids and babies and looking after them.
I'm a bit too soft really and I end up sympathising with anyone no matter who or why, there could be some sort of person on the news that's been locked up for reeeaaaally bad crimes and I still end up feeling sorry for them that they're locked up and then wondering what's going through their minds.

I don't think I'm nurturing. I don't think my mom is either. Unless cooking and feeding people lots of food count. Both my mom and I like to stuff people full of our food. For my own kids I did like to comb their hair and dress them, but they're older now and don't need that. When I was little I never played house.

If you looove cute little babies and puppies and want to take care of them, that's probably basic instinct and not exactly nurture. If you like taking care of everyone, including sick adults, teens who broke their arm, drug addicts, old folks with dementia, homeless people, then you're truly a nurturing kind of person.

*I'm very attracted to nurturing kind of people. They easily touch my heart. Must be "opposites attract" thing. Though they mustn't cry. Crying turn me off so much I just want to leave.

i have always been good with small children, though i might not be great with people my own age. Sometimes i might be overly nurturing though on a significant other, as i am prone to fixate. i tend to become a kid when i am watching kids, so it does not really feel like nurturing

I am most likely on the autistic spectrum and I would not describe myself as particularly nurturing towards the human population.

If somebody is complaining about something, my thoughts will most likely be on the lines of "Get over yourself". Especially if the person tells me that I "should" feel sorry for them.

If it's somebody I consider a friend (about two people), I am a little bit more nurturing, in the sense that I will try to help them and tell them I'm sorry about what they're dealing with (and mean it, as well). But I'm not going to be anybody's sounding board for problems that they refuse to fix.

I will happily nurture animals because I know that they appreciate it.

Cats and dogs, sure. Babies? VOMIT.

I have Asperger's syndrome, and by no means am I a nurturer! I detest small children, seeing people cry makes me want to leave the room, not help them, and if someone complains to me, more often that not I will tell them to get over it.
I'm just a very, very honest person. Some people say I don't have a filter. It's probably true. I dislike sugar-coatings, even on actual candy.

I'm not a nurturer.
