This is definitely snake, but I cannot find any source words to determine exactly which one.
That being the case, we will need to use the archetypal remedy for snakes, which is Lachesis.
Get hold of 200c and take one split dose.

Nat carb was actually extremely close I thought so I am actually surprised by this as the decriptions do not sound like me at all - I don't really have a sex drive and am not at all possessive. I don't try to compete with anyone, I could honestly care less about that sort of thing and find competitions brutish and distastful, I can't even get much into sports because of it. Actually, there is a lot I am really scratching my head about on this one - I can't find anything in the descriptions that resonate with me at all...was it just certain words I used? I also used words like 'trapped' 'repressed' etc...so it can't be just that, I would hope. I really felt pressed to come up with SOMEthing...and that's hard to do ;)
I have no issues with the name or source of any remedy, so this doesn't at all bother me, but I am just confused by this one. I might be nervous to take something that reads as so dissimilar to me unless I knew something of why you chose it - thanks! :)
(I am very quiet and shy too unless I really know someone, kind of a wallflower - don't talk very much even to people I do no well, just more introverted, and this one supposedly talks a lot?) I don't even know anymore...lol
Yikes, the description of this seems like someone who would intimidate me and I would try to avoid. I have a best friend and we are extremely similar...if she was anything like this I would have been scared of her! I read about it to my husband and he made a weird face and said he didn't understand either...it sounds like someone we know that we both don't like for the same reasons, she is very manipulative and all about her stuff. I actually feel pretty repulsed by people with that mentality, it is hard for me to understand it actually. People have often said they like that I am not back-stabbing and don't care about superficial competition and appearances...so its weird and I'm so curious...
(And I'm sorry if I sound like I am complaining about a remedy selection, that's not how I want to come across. I know you have a great deal of knowledge about these things and trust that you have a good reason for your selection - I really respect your intuition and appreciate your time! I am just trying to understand it and having a hard time with it).

You perfectly described characteristics of the snake group. You need to stop reading the remedies - this will only create confusion and doubt in you. Many patients look nothing like the pictures painted in the books. Surprise is good - you cannot know your own remedy, or even suspect it, so when the choice surprises you that is a good sign.
Snake characteristics:
Difficulty trusting others
Dishonest
Put on a fake front
Not showing their real self
Solitary, alone
Spread rumors behind other's backs
Lie to your face
Belittle others
Having to parent myself from a young age
No demonstration of love
Lying to get ahead
People say (one thing) and do exactly the opposite
Choking, gagging, constriction in the throat
Aggravation in the cold and in the winter
Aggravation from lack of sun and heat
Strong issues of lack of parental care, or inability to provide parental care
General Animal characteristics:
Abused and attacked by others
Constantly compared to others and coming off worse
Guilt and shame
Feeling vunerable and attacked
People turn against you
Sensitive to son being compared to others and being made to feel less than them
Opening up to others means being attacked
People always try to take from you, impose on you

How did I say I was dishonest or put on a fake front? You asked me what was the worst thing someone could do to hurt another and I said that it bothered me the most when people did this because I am usually pretty honest. I do not lie to anyone's face, it is very difficult for me to do so, and I have never once spread a rumor behind someone's back, if I have a problem with someone I either avoid them or make it clear to THEM that I do. It is hurtful to me to be accused of being fake, I never have had anyone say I am fake or a liar in real life, I think these things (not being that way) are some of my better qualities...?
I understand the rest of it, just not what I mentioned above.

I will stop reading about it though, since it is making me confused and upset to think of myself as a liar and manipulator, etc. Maybe I really don't know myself at all, or I must act completely different from how I really am. I actually liked myself before but not after reading this, lol. That is not the description of a good person.
If you feel that is the right choice then I will order it, the previous ones you have prescribed have helped me and I thank you. This is really bothering me, no other description has weirded me out like this before, I hope I am not an ugly spiteful person...maybe I am, just never thought of it that way. Kinda makes me want to vomit. I really don't want an aggravation from THIS. Geez...

You do not have to do those things, you only need to be sensitive to them. Any patient will describe the world from their own internal state, and so how they describe other people is only a reflection of their remedy. The victim and the aggressor are the same remedy, the liar and the person who cannot lie at all are the same remedy.
Every patient globalizes their remedy, their sensation, to include everyone and everything they see. When people describe to you a world, that has a particular flavour to it, it doesn't matter whether they do everything they see others doing. It is just perception. It only matters that this is what they see.
Everything we see is through the distorted lens of our disease. Whether you are dishonest, or the people around you are all dishonest, is not relevent. The issues are Dishonesty, Two-facedness, Backstabbing, Lying, Attacking, Belittling etc. This is the world of the snake.
Many times in clinic you see a patient spontaneously deny something, such as 'I am never angry' or 'I would never kill someone'. This always means the opposite, whether or not they would actually do it. The internal pressure of the remedy state causes us to react to it, unseen though it is to everyone else. The most honest people in the world can need the most dishonest remedies, because their reaction to the pressure of the remedy to be one way, actually causes them to be another.

I have often been able to take an entire case, on the basis of someone describing to me their least favorite person in the world. Everything they hate about them, everything they find difficult, is actually a quality of the person themselves, whether expressed directly or denied. In fact I have found this useful to get people to talk about themselves, by talking about others.

I feel devastated by this, it seems so silly, but it must be true if it affects me this way. Thanks for helping me.

You are not listening to what I am saying.
You do not have to be those things. Those things are what you are sensitive to. You can choose as a human being to give in to them or to resist them and be a better person. That is what being human is all about. But it does not change your remedy. Every remedy contains a polarity for this exact reason - because human beings when they respond to the remedy state, can go either way.
The world is not full of snake people, and yet you describe it as if it is. I have rarely had the experience you have had with people. This shows that your perception is askew, and that is influenced by your remedy.
The conflict for any person always lies along a particular pole. Where they are on that pole depends on many things. Lachesis has Liar at one end, and Scrupulous at the other. But the remedy is the same, regardless of where the person has ended up.

Ok, I hear you. I don't think everyone is this way, most people are not, but when I was growing up it felt like that to me. I don't know why. People who are angry or what have you all the time are not as threatening because they are easy to figure out. I guess I can be kind of mean too...as has been evidenced on here to a particular person, it just usually doesn't happen in real life to people that bug me. But I can strike out in real life if REALLY pushed and usually that is a surprise to everyone around me and the person usually is so surprised that I never have the same issue again. That sounds kind of snake-like, lol. I hate taking remedies at the beginning because I get extremely irritated for at least a week and can be kind of a jerk. Fun. Well, onward toward health I guessssssssssssssssss. ;)

I ordered Lachesis, but do you really think this is the right one for me?
It just feels all wrong in my gut, something does not feel right. It is somewhat often that I get a gut feeling or intuition about something and I am rarely wrong when I do. I don't think the world is full of snake people at all, it is strange to me to have someone tell me I think something that I don't. If I inferred that then I didn't explain myself correctly. True sociopaths are not common, although I have met one or two. I'm not on the lookout for them, lol. Although I could care less about lying vs being scrupulous, it is worse to have a life with no meaning and be misunderstood. I guess I don't make myself very clear...I don't feel attacked by the world. That though it just bizarre and confusing. That would be a lot worse than the problems I already have :/ I am lazy and unmotivated which causes me anxiety and lack of meaning in life. Incapable, lacking something.
I do feel frustrated like I have been misunderstood, not listened too. This bothers me more than almost anything else could.

I can hear that you don't like the remedy. This is why we are taught not to tell our patients what remedy we give them - because this kind of problem can arise from partial knowledge of remedies and misconceptions.
You are the one that convinced me of Lachesis. You perfectly described the issues associated with the snake group, described most people as acting in this way. I am fairly certain that you are reacting to the idea because I have hit some very sensitive point here. This is a good sign in counselling, certainly it gives me a lot of confidence that I am on exactly the right track.
You do understand that some very nice people can be lachesis don't you? They can be honest decent people, but if they perceive others as being backstabbing betraying conniving people that cannot be trusted, this is still Lachesis. Don't think for a moment that the 10 000+ symptoms and expressions of this remedy are contained in any 'essence' profile you might have seen. There are many different types of Lachesis people, overt, covert, subverted, compensated.
Why do you care if you are Lachesis or not? It is just a medicine, it has no power or meaning except to cure you if I have it right. It is not a living thing, not a person, not anything at all to you unless it can help you. If I am wrong, then it will be nothing to you.

Yes you are right. I hope that it will in fact be nothing if you are wrong. But the way I feel you probably are not wrong. I guess I didn't know that 'nice' people could need this, snakes always seemed like the embodiment of evil to me, sneaky and manipulative, but like you said this doesn't matter. You are probably really close and I just hate it. Sorry. I will try not to let my feelings get in the way of treatment. I have gone through lots of counseling in my life and this was way harder.

Haha! That is exactly what a snake person would say :)
It is ok to express these things. One of the hardest lessons I learned, and that my own students learned from me is this.
We only ever see ourselves.

Seriously my world is collapsing and I haven't even gotten my remedy in the mail and taken it yet...
We had a day with my in-laws yesterday and they are so inconsiderate and meddling and obtuse and stressful to hang around that I was so short all day with my son and could not stop crying off and on all day. I am a horrible person because I totally HATE my father in law. I feel like he represents all the fears I have for my son and I can have a good in-law situation and be close with that side of the family, with all my son's cousins. Plus that all have some crazy contageous skin bacteria and no one cares enough to take precautions. So I will like we will never see them until they do and it looks like they will never care. This makes me super mad and super sad because I miss them and want my son to be able to visit his cousins. They all have each other. I feel like my life is falling apart and I am a horrible bitter person. Asperger's is ruining my family (along with my own attitude!) and it is all my FIL';s fault (even though I know he can't help it). I HATE him. I am a total jerk. I'm totally crying again right now, I have never cried this much in my life.
I just need someone to talk to and I don't even know who that is. I don't ever trouble my friends with this stuff I only have fun with them or listen to them..;

It is not good for you to keep these things to yourself. Why not talk to a friend about it? Are they friends enough that they would listen?
Another hard lesson I have learned in my own life, is that to keep everything to yourself only makes it worse, and that friends deserve to be given the chance to help you. When I have reached out to them, there has always been love and understanding, nothing else.

Yes, I have a few friends like that. I don't like to burden them with stuff though, I am usually the listener and the strong one, or we are having fun. I don't even know how to describe what's going on. It's really hard for me to put things into words. I don't talk a lot about myself (in real life). I don't think it would make a lot of sense. I can't even adequately describe here what is making me feel like this, so it seems kind of pointless to tell a friend, 'I feel bad'. If I can't even say why. So confusing.

Ok, I received the Lachesis in the mail. However, when I ordered it said 200c, and when it arrived it says 200ck. This is the same for my son's remedy. I really hope this won't be a problem! Especially as I know you probably won't be on before I dose myself (I am planning on dosing my son tomorrow morning).
Here is how I am planning to dose:
2 pillules dissolved in 4 parts water, 1 part alcohol, succussed 2 times, one drop in full cup of water, stir, 1 tsp into 2nd cup (¼ cup), take 1 tsp
This is ok right?
Should I dose in the same manner for my son?

CK and CH are just two different ways of making the Centesimal potency. There is no evidence that the K method is less effective than the H so don't worry.
How much water did you use last time? How much water did your son use last time?

No not the bottle, the amount of water you are diluting in.
The amount of water determines how much aggravation you will get. We need to increase it because both you and your son tend to get strong reactions. I needed to know how much water so we can adjust it and therefore reduce the aggravation.
You will not likely see a reaction to your remedy for a few days. Only children or highly sensitive people see a reaction within a few hours, although even they tend to take longer than that.
