Marta,
It seems a little strange to me that you want [missing] people to remain on this board ...for who's sake, yours or theirs? I personally will always wish well for the people here, and that they get better, so they won't have to post here as often or maybe never again...also some other things you've said that seem strange to me are cut and pasted below...I think it's strange that you speak of your friends here and you end with Love Marta or xoxoxox, which seems overly personal for this board. And some N spots of yours are that you like to tell people whether they are good or nice, or if you like them. and you don't express your feelings very well and then you say youve been PUNCHED. But I still think your a good person...you probably just need to find a good T
Love, Support
Where is _____, _______, and what happened to ________?
Xoxoxoxo, Marta
Often, once you get to know a person, you'll like them and get used to the tone, as you realize that its not intentionally hurtful, it stops bothering.
just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I don't like you! I like you, quite a lot!
I miss you!
Love, Marta
but they by no means make me think any less of you.
Love, Marta
You are different from the rest of us in this respect.
Love, Marta
Kudos to our very own tigress!!!
Love, Marta
Your comments to me are a non-issue.
I have neither left nor do I intend to leave anytime soon, at least not without telling my friends.
I love this board
Do stay in touch.
Marta
I care as much about what happens to some of you, especially Plucky, as I care about my real life friends.
many hugs to you. Love, Marta
that doesn't seem like an N litmus test-- that could describe any of us, certainly me five years ago at any rate.
Oh no, ... I know that you are ____, which is why I used you as an example.
What is right for ______ or ______ or Marta may not be right for _______
It is cute to say that we are all friends, best friends, whatever. In reality, one fine day I can just leave without turning back, and no one will know where I am or what happened to me -- as has happened with so many other members since I joined this board. What then happens to those I swore were my friends?
I am actually a very loving and giving person who LOVES to make others feel good and loved.
I remember someone once told me on this board, sorry I can't remember who it was, that they need you more than you need them.
Scott Peck really disucsses this issue beautifully. To quote him, albeit from my memory, he says that one of the first things evil inspires in normal human beings is confusion. Usually the "good acts" are purposely engineered to create confusion about judgment of bad ones. He too suggests that we trust this persistent feeling of confusion as a red flag,
good to hear from you again.
Love, Marta
Yo __,
Great to hear from you. Have you spotted any penguins yet? Did parents call to wish you happy Xmas or vice versa? Have a great one, and come back to to the board soon to tell us all about it.
Marta
As long as your T is not damaging, which does not seem to be the case so far, staying with her couldn't hurt too much, can it?
Love, Marta
I'm not an N..
Love, Marta
I have come to be a firm believer in self-diagnosis, because there is so much negligence out there in the world...
_____, _______, ________
Where ever you are, just know that you are being missed here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of love and hugs, Marta
