you are strong though...you need to tap into that strength and get through it... go google

some crazy sites and bring some fun back with you...The poor woe is me act doesn't really do it for us strong

ones...we've proven too much, there is no turning back. You know that there will be other men to come

along, and everything happens for a reason-so they say, so all you have to do is look on the sunny side!

I get that too...They think you are a rock all the time and you need or want for nothing...Not so...If they would stop and think for a minute they would realize all humans need love and support...Strengnth is a good thing...BUT doesn't come without feelings and vulnerabilities!!!!!!!

Yeah, I know..... it all becomes rather tiresome, doesn't it??

yep you are all right.... there are so many people out there and here with much worse situations. I guess we can all feel sorry for ourselves on occasion...

Tomorrow will be better..........lol or I will have to make it better by being strong..................lol

As soon as you become weak and dependent, you are vulnerable.
STAY STRONG!

it is a common "exit line" both sides. phrased a thousand different ways.

someone once said." The true measure of strength in a person is their lack of fear to display their emotions" its paraphrased but its all I can offer.

Trying to live my life a bit like that Seventies Song

Bill Withers - Lean on Me


Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Lean on me...

And that Ought to go Both ways.
It sucks if the same person always has to give!

Thanks and I believe it is true, lol but men aren't good at dealing with emotions are they??

Nice song, great thoughts...

No response to what I said?

And that Ought to go Both ways.

yep that's the way it "ought" to go
sad to say doesn't always work that way


would love to find someone who can give as good as they get

what is wrong with vulnerable?

sometimes you have to be vulnerable.......if not you become a robot, not human at all

Oops sorry....

I am not sure I can be strong all of the time... takes way too much effort. I lost it this weekend that is for sure.... I don't think I am vunerable though.

I need some comfort too... just someone who would let me cry and then give me a hug and let me get over it.

That is what I mean. I will always be strong... but need to be weak sometimes too...

Well,I hope we are not just chasing Phantoms.
But then,on the other hand,Settling for Less might have been the very thing that has always tripped us.

chasing phantoms and trippin up has been my past..........still holdin out hope that someday i won't have to chase a phantom and fall on my face

Right On!...where is the clenched fist emoticon????

We are all vulnerable at one point or other in our lives.
No shame to admit it.
Actually showing our real self to a loved ones shows that there is alot of trust in the relationship

I agree...the only way you can't be is if you're a robot...or hiding your true feelings...which is not healthy either!!!!!!!!

Great to know someone agrees

Unfortunately its not the first time I think that people are afraid to speak out because they are scared to show their real self and to be better "accepted".

We are strong in different ways.
