I darn near exited this forum a coupla days ago for an attack, which I thought was uncalled for.Bull horns come out, then sweet little Pisces brings out her Scorp rising and mermaid tail turns into a terrible stinger! I dont like where alot of these posts are going...
Seems like alot of folks think they know it all. What the hell is wrong with stating a point, neutrally? I try, I really try to be neutral, and IF I have come across otherwise, I am sorry. I am FIFTYONE friggin years old and I have some tales to tell.... But I dont ever say my way is the highway. And I wish others would not either. This blessed forum should be about learning, sharing and growing, not arguing as to who is right and who is wrong..... This place can really emotionally exhaust me, and it has lately...
Forgive me IF I become vacant for a bit... t~ IP: Logged |

I've been ok with what you posted. And even when I do debate with someone I don't equate the ideas I'm debating with the person...and I think many people DO confuse ideas with identity (so if you challenge someone's ideas then they feel personally attacked). If I got hold of a time travel device, I'd actually want to meet future and past me, get us all together somewhere. My 18-year-old self would probably have some hard questions for me, even accuse me of selling out, though I think I could make 18-year-old me grudgingly see my point of view, even if she resolved to go down a different path herself. And I'd still care deeply for and admire my 18-year-old self while still disagreeing with her. (Though to be REALLY interesting, I'd want to meet me from parallel universes.) Only half-awake, sorry if I'm just baffling you with my response. IP: Logged |

Rest, relax and return when you are comfortable. I replied to the thread there.

You need to learn to ignore, Terri dear. That has kind of been my journey on LL but the larger issue is that is one's journey in life.If not, one has one's chained pulled by everyone. Use it as practice for ignoring as once you have the skill of ignoring, you have come a long way to self esteem and self love. I learned this from a very special person whom I thank God for and without whom I would never be able to do what I do today( not that it is that much, but you do need skills like ignoring or people would drag you down) Love you, Terri Sweetheart!

PS I don't ignore perfectly. I step in it more than I would like, but each time I learn. You can't save your face and your rear end, at the same time. Take it from me ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

Thank you all~Pixi I like it, ideas are not identities. Juni, your words are always filled with peace as well as your energy. Ami, I never starta a fight with anybody on line or in life, but when I am attacked I fight back, depending on the degree of the attack. Most of the time I just give folks funny looks or if I **** somebody off in traffic, I apoligize and give em the peace sign. I used to be a doormat, a wallflower, my youngest daughter, now 21 has told me in the past "you need to turn that fragile little Fish back bone into a stronger one!" Thing is with me, I am usually covert in my attacks, the pretty Fish mermaid tail turns into the sneaky Scorpion (rising) stinger! IP: Logged |

I hear you about the doormat, Terri. It is a balance. Too much one way( doormat) is bad. Too much the other way( super touchy about everything ) is bad. I am trying to find the balance and it is not easy. You are a wonderful addition to any discussion, in my humble opinion. ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire.
