If this is you, it's time to have a rethink.
When the only person you are fooling is yourself, perhaps it's time to reassess your position, before you're left without a leg to stand on.Disclaimer. This blog is not aimed at any CS member, and particularly not anyone with strange views concerning masculinity or the "feminisation" of men.

When I talk to people (during work or personal), when they´re doing their upmost to convince me they are right, or justify themselves about a certain behaviour, I listen for a while then I ask:
"Who are you trying to convince? Me? or Yourself"???
Then they become speechless.
Or have an over-exaggerated sense of self-importance.
Even if lots of people point out the same thing to them, they will just think lots of people are wrong.
Hope it is not bucketing rain as it was in the East of Ireland [Dublin, where I live ] yesterday , today, and since last August.
I have nothing to add really [that makes a change]
I would agree totally with what Daniela has said and it is a good line to use.
Also what Molly said, very well put.
Here´s for you...
Hard to get in a good hours walk daily with this type of weather.
I think life must be great for you all [the CS crew] who live in various parts of Spain and I really admire Biff for upping sticks. Take care, and thanks for flowers, I won't be needing the sunglasses.
Some people will always dislike you Harb. That's just a fact of life, you can try and be nice, you can react to their words but they just don't like you and that's OK.
Try not to retaliate and all will be well. Be happy and enjoy your day Harbal. Take Beag for a walk [my Irish name for him] GG
The subtle art of delusion and how to live a joyful life in myopia ?
I have to say you look very young for your age.
I'd have put you at around 27
I would hate if everyone thought just like me and always agreed with me, I would have no one to argue with.
Some people don't fit into the world as it is and think it's the world's responsibility to adapt to them. It doesn't work like that.
Good blog
Only fools fool the foolish...
I suppose that could be me in the video
but rethinking never changes who and how I am... so unfortunately I'm stuck with me I guess
I guess if people lie to themselves often enough, in their mind, it becomes fact or truth. There's no way you could convince them otherwise.
and missing your right arm.
The program won't allow your quote.
It's part of their "shadows" which are burrried deep in the subconscious.
They only know when they're made aware of it and then...only then...can they do something about it if they're prepared to do the work.
It's like being in a relationship and saying, we're having problems, let's go to counselling and your partner says I don't have a problem, you go. So even if something is pointed out to them, their denial is so strong they refuse to accept or acknowledge it.
Best course of action, imo - just walk away from them. lol.
As you say...if they don't want to know..just walk away.
Only I was talking here about people who are actually asking for advice and guidance...whether it being on line or up close and personal.
When they keep repeating themselves over and over again being really assertive about it....
My favourite sentence is:
Who are you trying to convince...Me..or Yourself???
Then they become speechless but you can hear the little wheels in their brain going round and round....and voilà!
