Getting it off your chest
There was a time that when upset by a friend, girl/boyfriend, partner etc,we found solace in venting our troubles to our friends or family as a way of “getting it off our chest” so that we would feel better having at least told our woes to someone. For whatever reason, be it self preservation, lack of courage or whatever, we would never tell the person concerned what is disturbing us about them.
Of course we secretly hoped that what we had said to our friends or family would get back to the person in question and thus they will be made aware of what was bothering us.
These days, with the introduction of Facebook, Twitter and blogs like this one on CS, we can post what is annoying us about a person in a public forum. Not only do we get to unload our anguish and get replies, but the chances are the person to whom we are griping about will also read the post.

If you read the blog properly,
I am not talking about me,
I am pointing out how the internet has changed the way people communicate problems/aggravations.
that should of been, i'm giving it a better SHOT
Been the messenger on several occasions, still have the bullet holes to prove it.
.so what do you do? Do you have the courage to tell the person what you think of them?
Of course not, facing a problem head on usually leads to conflict which in turn leads to disaster.
Beating around the bush is not a solution, just ends up with the person being confused as to what you are trying to say.
poor me on the other hand has to fill mine with cotton wool, now i wouldn't mind being wrapped up init but being stuffed with it, isn't quiet the same thing
Okay you say yours aren't personal, but most blogs I read are very personal. Sometimes we can't see past our own noses. Why did he react like that? Why did she go off pop when I said this? the answers won't always be what we want to hear,
thats Viv in a Dolly Parton wig !
They hadn't visited him for over 30yrs and they were angry that he was refusing to see them now he was dying.
A case of what goes around comes around.
I'm no longer on facebook not that I ever used it when I was.
