No one wants to hear about how hurt you've been. (184)
WhatUwish4: Thank you, V...and it's very much the same with you.
I think if we were all to stop for a minute and consider the fact that lot's of people here are hurting, it might tone down some of the ugliness. Not all, of course...and it's fun to have the occasional wicked thread But really...sometimes it's so easy to see where the OP, or someone on the forums...is obviously in a world of hurt. What's to be gained by sticking a daggar in their hearts just for a little comic relief? Life's too frigging short!

Well... this one time, I was walking down the sidewalk, you know, cuz that's where one walks in the cities.
I could've taken the route of the streets, but the cars, you know, they tend to like driving on those things, and if I had taken that walk, I would have bothered some commuter on their way to work, or the grocery store, or even the liquor store.
So anyhow, I was walking, and there, in the middle of the sidewalk, most conspicious, was a bit of broken cement.
It stuck up from the ground rather prominantly, almost arrogently.
Of course, I am sure that it hadn't bothered to jut from the ground until I had walked quite close to it, and wasn't aware of it's presence at that moment in time.
I am sure that it's cause to be there was the root system of a nearby Elm tree. As they are quite often planted close to the sidewalks.
Most probably for the aesthtic value.
They are a little on the stately tree-like side of looks.
As it was.
I tripped.
And I was hurt and modertly broken.
That just pissed me off.

Hey Garden...
Truly I was not directing my comments to you. The truth is I just recently signed on and have only now finished reading the entire forum. What I said was a bit out of context in terms of your original post...but I'm happy if it added a different perspective just because I do think it's true...It's really so much easier to look for the good things instead of the bad.

OP ( gardenhackle )
Your post was perfectly valid. It's more because some saw themselves in it, or know someone who needed to talk about past hurts.
Many who are here, have been for some time, and friendships have been made.
It's more for protection that you got a bit picked on. Protection for themselves and for others.
I think that in this case, it just goes to show that the people here, once befriended are loyal to theirs.
( or what they can only percieve as theirs, as this is virtual, so to speak )
Take it with a grain of salt, discuss, discourse and most of all. Debate.
It's all about the words here.
And if that made sense to anyone... wow... you need more coffee.

I agree. I think it helps not to clutter the view of the good things with the bad, either. I've found we tend to get more of whatever it is we're dwelling on, whether it's success or failure.

Nothing to be gained from sticking the knife in and twisting it the way some people do around here.
Besides making someone laugh is a hell of a lot more fun.

Happygolucky4u: It is a diversified world. Welcome to cs There are a lot of good people on here. And every day will not be a good day for everyone. Be open minded and try not to judge someone till you have a chance to meet them. I could of wrote a pretty profile saying I have a body like a barbie doll and I am so intelligent harvard checks with me for their problems. It is just words. I might actually perceive myself as these things. Sometimes peoples perceptions of themselfs are not quite right. You might miss a diamond in the rough.
I didn't find anything off-putting about your profile at all.

Yep, believe it or not, I thought (seriously) that this site was about people shaking the dust off their sandals and marching forward. I'd have been much more sensitive had I realized that's not the case for a lot of people here.
I'll definitely keep that in mind in regard to future forum participation.

To paraphrase Shakespear,
"Methinks the lad doth protest too much".
Could it be that the OP himself is carrying some emotional baggage that he is trying to project onto others?
That's what it seems like to me.

The point is you shouldnt "tar everyone with the same brush". If you were cheated on, it doesnt make ALL MEN/WOMEN CHEATERS. If you were scammed, it doesnt make ALL MEN/WOMEN SCAMMERS.
I see so many people in life who are very unfairly judging everyone by their past bad experiences. Thats very wrong and unjust.
In my opinion, you either work through those negative feelings and make sure you have dealt with them before going into another relationship, or you make a deal with yourself that although you are still going to have those feelings, you dont judge others by your ex's bad behaviour.
Compassion for another's insecurities is good. Being treated like an Emotional Punchbag because some is bitter is not..
Great advise to anyone
Take time between relationships to understand what went wrong and learn from it
