Ami....... I don't think anyone receives responses that always/only make them feel warm and fuzzy.
If that's all you see me posting.... I've checked my honesty at the sign in screen.
I don't always receive input that flatters me either..... as is the case with Bill's timely response.
I may not agree with him but I certainly respect his honesty.
Thank you Bill, duly noted, I hear you.
I don't feel you;ve represented the Jack situation honestly, but hey..... maybe that's truly how you remember it, Ami.
Carrying on like I've been shot, bc I disagree with you, does no one any good so......
I'll provide some examples for my original response to you and hope you take away something of value.
You may be dependent on drama, to some extent. You may need to get past that, or not. Not sure but here are some of your Thread Titles, that raise my radar about such things, as follow:
Is It Really O.K. to Let N Thoughts and Emotions Just Go By--Part 4
Watching the "Layer of Selfishness " Go By
Beat Up, Wrung Out, Exhausted---I Can't believe How Much I Hate Myself
I am Afraid of My Emotions and Afraid of My Thoughts
How Do You Love Yourself When You Think N Feelings and Thoughts?
I am so used to abuse that I don't even see it anymore
Loving Myself------ very "weird"
If I'm wrong... composte away, as you suggest to others on the board.
Makes sense to me.
In the meantime..... I'll continue to post as accurately as I can, which isn't easy, if you want the truth.
((Shunned,)) sorry the disagreements are so painful for you. I apologize, for my part.
