getting stuck

[Anonymous]

Hi all:

Besides, anyone who picks on GFN, who has been very nice to me, is a real pole cat.

Hey Mudpuppy!  Got me giggling again.  One thing I notice, some people don't swear but have huge vocabularies and use the most interesting nouns and adjectives!!  You do it the best Mud!

Oh Mum.  I agree with Mudpuppy and too bad we didn't wait for that juicy post of his eh?  Patience.  You're so right!  When will I ever have enough???

Speaking of paranoid.....do people who behave like N's have a habit of calling others that?

I know I'm paranoid about becoming paranoid.  Isn't that the kicker?  I mean.....it's so true....I have developed this....watch my back type of attitude...for a number of reasons....the biggest being past experiences with the Nish....(not the Amish)....and well.....to be honest...I still don't feel paranoid....but I do think I'm kinda verging on anti-paranoidness.
 

I feel fear for sure, sometimes, but I don't think it's extreme or unwarrented.  Yet the minute I mention a fear or "concern" to those "people" who seem to love to label others, I am told:  "You're just paranoid."

So now.....I'm afraid to be too afraid....so I act as fearless as I can, a lot of the time.....whether it's the intelligent thing to do or not.

How weird is that?

GFN,

the biggest being past experiences with the Nish....(not the Amish)....

   
The funny thing is I'm in CA and have never talked to an Amish in my life, and then today one calls me from Ohio and wants to buy my bulldozer. Co-inkydink? Hmmm.

Back to Write's original post and the guy with the bent spokes who responded by picking on Write and then GFN. Do you think this guy, by demonstrating his supreme logic and mastery over perfectly harmless women discussing what has helped them recover from the bent spoke crowd was compensating for some, shall we say, deficiency in another area? Maybe he's a little short in the "projection" department  if you know what I mean. Maybe it was the great Sam I Am himself.
Let's see if that gets a response.
They don't know what to do if you say that. If they respond then they know they're being manipulated by a lesser being. If they don't then their royal hind end is being disrespected without a response. Its like a scifi flick when the hero says something illogical to the malevolent robot and it gets confused, starts smoking through its ears and shuts down. I've actually done it to my brother, only without the smoke.

Ok, Mud, now I'm howling!  What a riot.  You have a way of summing it all up succinctly and wittily.
I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, Sam I am!

It went to that site Write, and I found it interesting to got to.

What I got from it? It seemed to apply to a Borderline Personality Disordered person a heck of a lot.

Sorry if that seems a  bit too negative for ya'll here, but that's what I got from it.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who caught that........either that or we're both paranoid.
Write (or anyone else for that matter) doesn't need that crap.

Is it possible that there are other view points?  If not, then I agree,  you're both paranoid   .

mum,
Don't worry about overeacting. I was going to post something a little juicier than you did before I got pulled away. Our antennae go up for a reason. SamV and his minions are notorious for trolling boards and responding to anyone who criticizes the Big Enchilada, and Write certainly did that, at least to an N it was criticism.
Besides, anyone who picks on GFN, who has been very nice to me, is a real pole cat, IMHO.

mudpuppy

What kind of self-serving narcissism is that? Anyone who criticises someone who has been nice to you is a pole cat? Is that right?

Per-leez! Get back on the planet earth! Hitler's right hand man said the same thing about anyone who critisiced Hitler (at the time)!

Yes a response: guy? he? perfectly harmless women?

"the female of the species is more deadlier than the male" when there's more than a whiff of sexism in the air...

but this is very immature of me and I recognise that.

Write, it was your opening line that I found questionable. I'm interested to know that you have a fine psychiatrist/psychologist. What a pity the rest of us can't all benefit. Which you point out. So instead we get a website.  

I don't react well to statements which seem to attempt to put the writer in a position of superiority over the reader. I tried not to read it as "I have this, which you don't have, so I will bestow this scrap on you mere mortals". Maybe I didn't try hard enough in analysing my reaction. Bad me.

For me it comes back to: would I write something like that? Can I imagine saying that? For openers: "I have a fine psychiatrist...". No I wouldn't. It's boasting. Maybe Write didn't mean it like that, although I'm not sure why you needed to tell us that Write. Especially since you do indeed have this fine psychiatrist and probably know better than the rest of us what impact your words might have. Or maybe your psychiatrist isn't so fine after all. If he or she is so good, why are you here? Simply so that we can benefit from your handouts?

I've had a tough year too and I don't have access to a fine psychiatrist.

Good morning:

Ideally everyone will have acess to a fine psychologist or psycgiatrist as I do, and each time I feel 'stuck' I go back and work through thngs.

But if you can't:

here's what's helped me,my best tools.

I took Write's words to mean that these tools are being posted for the benefit of anyone here who doesn't have a psychologist or psychiatrist to work things through with.  I see it as giving and sharing of info.

The fact the Write refer's to Write's psychologist or psychiatrist as "fine", makes me think that Write is happy with this professional and feeling very fortunate, and this makes me wonder if it might be what motivated Write to share the info re the link?  Because Write may be empathizing with others who are not as fortunate and Write wishes to share and offer those who are without professional help something that might be of use?

Guest, you wrote:

Guest, I'm sorry that you have had such a tough year and sorry too that you don't have access to a fine psychiatrist.  Do you see that it is possible that Write posted this link to offer you something good?  In generosity rather than as a boasting of some sort?

Guest, the link that you posted, is it to boast, or are you genuinely interested in sharing info?  Are you making some statement with that link?

Have you ever said anything a bit Nish in your life?
Do you always react perfectly?
Are you here to judge each person's post and their intentions and disect each word?
Or would you like to offer something, share something, give something back to this board that you think has helped you through this past "tough year"?
Are you trying to learn?

Are you possibly overly concerned with everyone using the proper words, rather than concentrating on getting what they are trying to be communicate?

And B:  Did you get that Mudpuppy was trying to tell Mum that it's ok to let go and vent once in awhile?

Aren't you doing the same thing?  Venting a bit?

B: Are you certain that your opinion is absolutely correct about Mudpuppy and Guest, are you positive about Write's intentions?  How do you do that?

how can this possibly be boasting? Write is not saying he/she IS a fine psychiatrist, and is even saying that ideally everyone would have one, so is wishing the same for all of us? Your logic is faulty[/quote]

Sorry, to clarify, that last post wasn't the original Guest, that was me. I am new here and would like to thank Guest for annoying me enough to work up the courage to post!

Okay, so she worded it a bit oddly. If you've read any of her other posts, you'd see that she isn't condescending at all. That's why people here defended her.

Well it led to a consequence, which was people reacting negatively. You could phrase stuff differently, too, just as perhaps Write could.

BTW I looked at the link and it's written by someone with whom I'm familiar. And I'm sorry to say that he is a huge narcissist. Maybe he wrote something valuable but frankly I can't even read it at this moment.

Bunny that's your opinion. It's not my opinion.
