The Life Path Number
The Life Path is the sum of the birth date. This number represents who you are at birth and the native traits that you will carry with you through life. The most important number that will be discussed here is your Life Path number. The Life Path describes the nature of this journey through life.
The Life Path number is established from the date of birth. First, add the Month, day, and year together to arrive at a total. Next, reduce this four digit number to a single digit.
Example: If a person was born on October 23, 1972 (10-23-1972*), add the month 10 to the day 23 plus the the year 1972 arriving at a total of 2005. Then add the digits in 2005 arriving at the Life Path number 7.
The "master numbers, " 11, 22, and 33, have been incorporated within the corresponding single digit number readings. See addition comments about master numbers.
If you choose to consider the master numbers, you can stop reducing the compound numbers when you arrive at the master numbers, 11 or 22. Example: Bill Gates, born 10-28-1955, has a birth date that adds up to 1993. 1993 reduces to 22, so he would be a good example of the 22/4.

MINE:
If your Life-Path number is SEVEN, depth of thinking and the ability to gain knowledge from most everything will be something you’ve experienced since an early age. SEVEN is considered the ‘spiritual’ number and such qualities as intuition will be prominent [Yup, I think I'm quite intuitive!].
Those with a SEVEN Life-Path are usually peaceful and affectionate [I stay away from trouble and nuisance as far as possible].
You may not have many friends as a SEVEN, but the ones you do have will be for life [I have a few close friends only...].
You’re a compassionate and caring friend [True for both, but sometimes I don't know how to show my care and concern].
As a SEVEN, you will likely be able to sense deception from others quickly and you’re not likely to be wrong [this is pretty much depending on the situation though].
A balance between time with others and private time taken to be alone with your thoughts and dreams is essential [yeah, very important!].
It is common for SEVENS to be seen as aloof due to their selective socializing and required time alone [Yup, quite true, people don't see me as being approachable I guess].
If the truth be told, many SEVENS feel a sense of insecurity [very often!].
This may be because much of a SEVENS ‘reality’ is not tangible [Try being a Piscean and being a Seven].
You will rely heavily on instincts and intuition [what can I say about this? I don't have much of a logical mind].
At times this insecurity can lead to pessimism or loneliness. Mood swings are also not uncommon. [Damn! Try being a Piscean, a Seven, AND a woman!]
SEVEN personalities are generally reserved and analytical in their assessments of truth [Yes for generally reserved, and I have this knack for investigatory work, especially so, online].
As a SEVEN, you will need to find and draw your own conclusions with evidence before accepting other’s notions [True, I tend to think a lot within myself how this is possible, before accepting other people's views].
Key qualities/words for a SEVEN Life-Path are analysis, understanding, knowledge, awareness, studious and meditating [I'm a Data Analyst. Haha. Studious, so unlikely though].
The life purpose for a SEVEN is to experience life to the fullest through learning and processing knowledge [this is so boring].
Perhaps even more so, a SEVEN needs to learn how to trust in themselves and their deeper feelings about life around them [This sentence ties with the insecurity part, I guess].
The development of a sense of security can be a life long challenge with periods of time that are marked with a lack of emotional stability [Ahh see, what did I just say?].
The SEVEN that chooses to not get out into the world and to grasp all there is to learn, can become negative and selfish [I am sometimes ego-centric].
An attitude that says the world owes them can also happen [if I think life's unfair, does this count?].
To experience life at it’s utmost, a SEVEN must face their fears and insecurities and face whatever comes their way [I see].
There is much a SEVEN can give to the world around [Really?!].

Footnote: Why do people hide their feelings so much? Is it really so hard to have a heart-to-heart communication? I should prolly stop wasting time on someone who doesn’t even bother to waste time on me. So what if he still feels for me?
So what if he still cares?
Que sera, sera.

People hide their feelings because they don’t feel secure. Have you been betrayed or being mistaken / misunderstood by someone who think he/she is trying to help you? If yes, would you show your feelings easily again?
Perhapse the person you have tried to care for had been disappointed by you. Trust plays the biggest part when it comes to care. Did you ever ask yourself why someone would be kind to share their heart to heart secret with you? Then again, why someone been sharing their hearts with you no longer do so? The answer is Trust. What makes you think you correctly cared? Answer is being supportive.
Like parents trusting their children. Everyone have different point of views and even parents often misunderstood their children. If your parents blames you for something they had misunderstood and being harsh on you, The child will feel alone, can’t express him/herself and evantually lost faith on the parents and will close his/her heart towards them. Because disappointment makes a person lose trust…
Be thankful and treasures every words someone share with you, it can be the most inside secret or feelings he/she want to share, express and maybe a hint to seek help and because he/she trusted you that is why you are choosed to tell or discuss. Even you do not understand or could not feel exactly, at least show your care by giving trust and support. You may not help but you were there to support. That is more than enough for the needy, then to tried to help and evantually the wrong medicine applied causes greater damages. When trust been lost, a relationship come to a closing.
When a person come to you yet does not receive proper care and his/her feeling had been hurt by the helper’s ego. Trust may also been damage and perhaps destroy. will there be a second visit? second chance may be given but taken for gunted then there will never be a third.
The helper is important but isn’t the one who seek help/care are most in the concerns/important?
True communication cannot be request. It all starts from ownself. To be able to have pure communication, you must first trust who you wish to communicate, be supportive, and understand how he/she feels. An old saying ,’when you want to know how a person think, put yourself in his/her position/situation’. And last of all, whatever you suggest can only be advice to him/her so never force someone to do what you said. You are trying to help, not forcing to obey, or given up and ignored.
If you don’t know how to show your care, then show your supoort. and just simply trust he/she truely suffers from an awful situation. When you did your part, the person who need help will evantually feels he/she isn’t lonely and will start to accept your aids or advice.
Life have been fair to everyone by repeating vacious events just to help us correct our mistakes, to teach us a lesson so we can get to the next level. Pay attention and you will see so much familiar problems repeating itselves around you, If you didn’t learn the right thing and do it right, then keep learning, life speaks.
Wish you good luck. Treasure friends / lover who speak true to you, they are the ones who will always give you a hand and care for you the most. These people often being chased away by your silly and foolishness. When they are gone, they will not return. Be it surrounded yourself with liars that pampered you with beautiful lies and you will never get out of any vacious cycle. Good words and advices often sounds most unplesant.
Learn to care is learn to trust, learn to support, learn to understand, learn to treasure and learn to give willingly.That is the basic requirements of a caring and helpful person who don’t use their eyes to see, ears to hear, first impressions to jurdge. Use your mind to understand, use your heart to sense and sees and use your soul to feel.
Hope you find your next man soon or at least some truthful sincere friends.
