"I" statements ( Archived) (62)

i know a 13 yr old girl that everytime she comes to my house for dinner she wants brussel sprouts

can you imagine?





i dont even eat em but i make em for her w/ a cream sauce

I don't see where it really needed a frame of reference, someone sounding low in spirit that day and still grieving being told that, they shouldn't post their stuff , just burns me up. I like her she is a very nice person, she had a good love that died, and she is still hurting , where is your compassion to people like this. I don't see that as being supportive basically telling her to get over it. Do you understand where I am coming from on this.
I posted it here, cause you stated you always say I statements, well you are not using I statements right. I statements say when you do this, it makes Me feel this way. etc. It's not a personal attack or anything, and not belittling them.
I am upset, I have grieved for the death of a loved one, my own sister. < That is a I statement. People can't just get over it. We all have to deal with it and heal. I just beg you to have more compassion for people cause I am not seeing it.

Damn, cream sauce!!!!

I've just cooked and eaten a nice steak.

That post just reminded me, the pepper sauce

is still in the microwave

i have to ask, i too am fatally allergic to bee stings in fact i carry shots with me as i have about three minutes to shut down if stung.

why is the fact that i find the topic amusing less valid than the fact that someone else does not?

That is what i get - rightly or wrongly - from mf's comment , my amusement is of the same weight as someone else's grief and why should i be criticised for feeling amusement
(the feeling i got -rightly or wrongly - from the mourning lady's post)

perhaps every one can take a moment and remember it is very easy to misjudge intent when denied body language and tone of voice. There is no need to keep adding fuel to the sparks, no matter who 'started it' anyone who' continues it' shares the fault.

I don't have any problem with all of that , but when we all know what a good person is going thru and grieving , they shouldn't be attacked and told get over it. Thats what I am burned about. I am just showing someone a wrong so they can correct it before doing more damage to sweet nice person.
I don't have anything against people that want to laugh at things I do that myself to keep things light. But I would not jump someone cause they aren't

Not many I's in there, are there???
And all just lies...

well the context matters in my opinion

i dont come out of the box like that but let me say two things

i have no idea oif anyone is telling the truth about the personna they create for themselves online

we have all seen people make up personalities online
and gotten wound up

i do usually give someone the benefit of the doubt but sometimes it is kind to give someone a nudge-another idea about healing being somewhat a choice to think differently

but thats just my opinion

context is everything-

and my i statement was that im not perfect
none of us are

**sits back and waits**

um here is another post copied from another thread and placed here

a few words have been removed




my my

did i say i always use i statements
always and never are silly words in my opinion and i try to be careful to not use them



i try

why the hell do a few women here try to hold me in particular to some ridiculously high standard that they nor no human can attain??

good grief im just a mere mortal

Ok, here it is, your entire post to me...

What lies have I told about you?
And who's surprise did I ruin???
