| And, who would myself be? And, why would anyone but myself care? I could be anyone I wanted to be here or anywhere, and who would know the difference? And, while I make this group feel good, the other group over there is very displeased. Can't please everyone. Who cares, right? I should just worry about myself. Oh wait, that's selfish. Maybe I am not even sure who I am or should be. |

| Sometimes you have to be selfish. No one but YOU has the ability to make you happy. If your worrying about who to please, just choose me, its just easier that way :P |

Jokingly or not, that was not surprisingly selfish;/
If no one can make me happy but myself--as I have heard a thousand times before--then the island is realized. One is the lonliest number.
But, you go ahead and wait to be pleased. I will get my oils and toys...oh, and my barf bag. |

| And, if that goes for everyone...only they can make themselves happy, then it would matter not what anyone did for anyone! I mean, I could labor all my life trying to please and entertain and love somone...but it wouldn't matter according to such logic. They would essentially be loving themselves and making themselves happy or not...so what does it matter what I do for anyone? Why bother sharing space with other people? All we need is ourselves and room to live! What a cold, mixed-up lonely world. |

| Or should we all coexist like bubbles individually encased in our own "happiness" in a big tub? The happy ones together...oh! this is nice...hi, fellow happy people occupying and pleasing ourselves next to me...and the unhappy ones trying to pop each others bubbles and bring them down or something...sinking to the bottom of the abyss. |

| Every is entitled to their own opinions. That seems a bit lost on you. To me, it sounds like you don't even like yourself much, so why would anyone else? Opinion not fact. |

I don't really know you in person, but from your blog entries and comments, I have an impression that you are very intelligent, fun and have broad interests. Maybe a bit shy and too cautious but at the same time a bit too outspoken. To me, you are OK, and I like to read your entries and comments..
On thing I learn in cyber world is that I don't take thing seriously. If I dare enough to write down anything about my personal matters and I know that strangers from all around the globe will read it and give comments... then I should be ready for those who disagree or too outspoken or contrary to my expectation.... I will not get angry of offended... and I'll thank them anyway. If I'm not ready to take any criticsm, might as well I keep my personal matters to myself. In this life we can't just expect the others will always agree with us all the time.
Once again, in bloggings it is better not to take things too seriously... then it can be a useful and fun activity. |

Hi Brainstormer,
Some of what you said is true in a sense...none of us REALLY know eachother on here. We only expose what we want everyone to see of us. But the human heart does have faith and love in it, and although we don't fully know eachother enough to recognize one another on the street if we were to meet, we still feel affection and concern for eachother. I don't know you like I know my neighbor across the street, but I care for you in a completely different way. My heart aches for you when I read a post like the one you just wrote, because I can feel your pain.
Like Gwatlan said, there will always be those who will disagree with you or turn away from you for some reason or another, you can't control that. You can only control your own life, not the life and feelings of others.
Also, I believe what swordmaiden meant was, you can't DEPEND on others to make YOU happy. You have to love yourself first, before you can accept love from someone else.
A significant other can come along and BRING you incredible happiness, but she can't MAKE you happy. You MAKE yourself happy by liking who you are.
If you always see the worst in you, that is what you tend to show others.
Am I making any sense??
I want you to be happy.
I want you to enjoy life.
I want you to see what a terrific guy you are, and I want the world to see it too!!
God Bless!!!

| I think you are witty with your words. You are not alone in your heart. You have laughter in your soul. And its all wrapped up in a very bright package! |

You make an excellent point. I know I do the same for others. Or perhaps I do not anymore...I've changed quite a bit, and I'm still discovering those changes. But right here:
"Maybe it is time I stopped dreaming
and believing in the good of the internet potential.
Maybe it is time for this nice guy
to speak his mind and not give a crap
what anyone else has to say.
Afterall, everyone else comes here to vent.
So, maybe it is my turn."
Yes, vent and speak your mind. But don't just "not give a crap". It is your turn, but that doesn't mean you have to stop caring... you know? Cause people who don't care get less out of life than those who do...it may not seem that way now, but I've learned that lesson pretty well. (Or maybe thats just my opinion) Who knows? Just be true to yourself. But still try to care. Rawr. I know how you feel though. But honestly, life is a struggle... and you're going to go through this. But it'll end, you know? And something new and hopefully better will begin..
I just wish you the best of luck. And I hope that, if we do become friends, that I can be there for you in some way. <3 |

people must learn to handle the truth when they're faced with it. i spent a great deal of time (and energy) caring about other people's feelings & trying to make sure everyone was happy & no one was hurt or misunderstood etc. playing peacemaker sux a$$. and on top of that, where does it get u? usually caught in the middle of something you had nothing to do with in the first place. how's that for gratitude. ha!
anyway, i agree that u should speak ur mind & not give a fukk what anyone else thinks about it. it's ur opinion & ur entitled to it. if it hurts someone's feelings, let them go find someone else that will lie to them & tell them what they *want* to hear as opposed to what they *need* to hear so they can continue to live in their little box with their blinders on & keep believing in fairy tales & nonsense to their heart's content.
personally i like the way that u came at me in the comment i left on ur AA mtg post. i can appreciate ur honesty, however brutal it may have been. and i especially like how u opened with the line about cracking ur knuckles. i think the misconception that happens far more often than it should is that disagreement between two people means you should automatically not like eachother. what the hell kind of sense does that make!!!?!??!? if we all agreed with eachother there'd never be any change...no progression...no innovation...no fun!!

--storm break--
Foxx, I have been wavering in what to think of you since I first peeked in on a post of yours months ago:P But, your words here seemed to do more to clear the storm than anyone else.
When you said "sux a$$", all I could picture was that ventriloquist who has that old man puppet saying it.
I will say that I don't think it is right for me or anyone to assume something without some prior knowledge. It is easy to let off steam--especially when something misunderstood sets off a 'tude--but that does not mean it is always just to share that half-witted opinion. I am not perfect by any means. And, I am not always going to be 100% right.
I hope what I said to you was NOT too harsh or out of line. I just felt the need to say it because that is how your explanation made me FEEL. It may not be fully justified, but emotionally it was to me.
And, to an extent you are right about all those who seek cushion from "brutal honesty" or milk and honey. But, I cant be sure all cases go the same way. There may be cases when the person who is simply sensitive runs and cries from an unjustified assault/offense. Those cases do not apply to the "can't handle the truth" idea nor is it completely right to be the "barker" brow-beating them with a barrage of coarse words.
Im glad you enjoyed the imagery of the bubbles and the knuckle cracking:P heh. |
