actually he has bitten
but havent we all?
so no biggie
but some do tire and oops-type out loud
i have to realy hold back sometimes
the level of codependence that has become the atmosphere lately
-last 4 months-ish
has gotten really absurd and a bit bizarre
this is my opinion
the lack of actual conversation or freedom to disagree is nearly extinct
and just like in real life, when you see people up close
going thru the same cycle for a long time
it is a bit frustrating
example-if one of your dearest friends kept dating gamblers and
kept asking you after each break up-what is wrong?
why is my life so hard-
wouldnt you eventually say something?
a friends risks a friendship sometimes by telling the truth.
thats what friends are for
not this constant we all love each other
and these 'families' springing up
its just not emotionally healthy. im sorry if some dont wanna hear that but read a book already-its not healthy-whole or intimate.
its false and hollow and thats why so many of us online
are constantly sad or 'rescuing' others. and these behaviors are what is exhibited to some degree when we interact in R/L,
which has caused our world to get smaller and so many here have hours on end to be here-but not notice our same patterns?
coooome on!
and by the way-the only rule that was broken by the OP
was mentioning a name in a thread title-
im not saying im the healthiest person in the world-i mean
im about to post a pic of my dog dressed in clothes-
but i do find it pretty easy to discern who is
emotionally mature and trustworthy and EVENHANDED about it
and the 'family' here is very exclusive-as in not inclusive.
many many members write me exactly what ive written here
but no one will post it-why not? people pleasing? fear of not being
liked by everyone? whats wrong w/ real conversation and interaction?
why do ppl care so much that everyone like them? even people in a box on your desk? theres acquaintances and theres friends-
we will only have a handful of real friends in a lifetime.
thats ok-and thats enough.
why is conversation seen as meanness around here?
and i think maybe someone who has been around a good while might have a bit more perspective than someone who hasnt-
when we are discussing someones personality patterns.
and thats square logic and shouldnt offend anyone-
please note ive said not a thing about daniel-
its not my job to fix anyone
im working on growing me and that is part of it-for me.(not fixing)
i do however think it may have been better emailed
but seeing EVERYONE jump to defend,
even when he said basically-'no need' and 'im ok' is no surprise.
the fact that ppl do it anyway-illustrates maybe a bit i have
mentioned here. our ned to 'defend' and 'rescue' is a great distraction from looking at anything...
these are my opinions.
so what?
