Sure everyone has baggage and you expect that, but I think the problem is when people become baggage handlers, even the lost property office has a clear out once in a while, some people seem like they don’t want to let go of their past relationships.

Then they're not moving forward and will forever "mis-connect"...rather a "terminal" hell, unable to "lift off" for new adventures because they never managed to "disembark" from their past.

If it interferes with your ability to get to know someone and incorporate them into your life, it's baggage. Complications = baggage.

Well if they mean kids is baggage than they could kiss my butt, because kids come first. But if they mean talking about your ex. than I agree.

"I come with baggage...overstuffed, busting at the seams, must pay extra to check it on the airplane kind of baggage. "
Anyone who is clever enough to write such a funny line has obviously made very good use of her baggage (just as long as you don't play "mind games" with it, Zeus forbid!)!

You just pointed out that I can still be pretty naive (or blind) sometimes...I never even thought of the term "baggage" to mean "children." I guess that's because I would never think of children as baggage, but I guess there may be some who do.

Like I was trying to illude to earlier, I don't think most people are specifically referring to children when they use that term of baggage. Just my opinion, but I think the word encompasses a little of everything. Sure it could be a kid, it could be a job, it could be a hobby you're obsessively preoccupied with... it could be anything. Baggage is anything that will interfere with, or otherwise extremely prohibit your ability to get to know someone and incorporate them into your life. If you can't make time for someone, then whatever you blame it on, that's the baggage.

I agree. I wonder why they put that in their profiles. I have days when I need a forklift to move my baggage from one room to another . Thank goodness. I’m human.
The one baggage I do not like, is the one that deals with experimenting with other peoples emotions. The ones that get a kick or a high out of hurting someone else emotionally. That’s one baggage that I’m grateful I don’t have to haul around. I also do my best to stay far away from those kinds of people.

No, I have to say it doesn't annoy me at all.
In fact I think I might even add my thoughts on people with baggage in my profile.
I don't mind people with ordinary baggage as in children, caring for sick family or some other stuff like that.
But, the ones with piles of "emotional baggage".. are a nightmare!!
These are the ones who have been hurt in a previous relationship NOT dealt with it, so it's with them at the start of their new relationships. So they are all wah, wah, wah, wah, self pityfied and full of problems and think their new partner is going to be exactly the same as their previous ones. To be avoided like the plague at all costs these people are in my opinion. Absolutely more trouble than they are worth

Yep, it can be of the emotional kind as well.

Oh, how did you know?! You nailed it, of course. Mind games. The gods are cringing, Ambrose!

All true, but what bothers me about the term is the possible implication that you aren't allowed to have been affected, even hurt, by previous relationships or past experiences. I think almost everyone carries those kinds of bruises around with them, and it's possible to see them at times, even if they've mostly healed.
Anyway, just thinking about all that has made kind of emotional, so if you'll excuse me, Z....'wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!'

"Please, no baggage."
Baggage. What is this, really, if not just life's experiences. I come with baggage...overstuffed, busting at the seams, must pay extra to check it on the airplane kind of baggage. But I have schlepped it around and I take what I need from it when I need it, put it away when I don't need it, carry it without burdening others. It's my history...my life....my experiences. Some bad, but more good. I carry the bad with me so as to continue to learn and evolve and serve as a reminder of my own mistakes, not just those of others. And I carry the good because these are the things that have made me a better person, a stronger person, a happier person. Life is baggage...we all have it. It's just that we need to know how to carry it.
My 2 cents. Anyone else care to "weigh in" here?
