is there stuff that goes on in the middle of the night that i just dont know about?

i mean im sure there are butlaugh

seriously whats w/ 'the fun people' saying
people want them off the site?

ive not seen anyone be unkind to any of you in a long time

dunno

but yes-for whatever reason you do choose to in your words
jump out of nowhere and torture people

im one of them and i never say boo to any of you

confused

seems we are in another round of the bullies
acting like they are the victims
its just different names and faces

the day we are struck blind maybe that will fly
until then its all to be seen in print

just like the scapegoating (-me) regarding people fighting/leaving

its hilarious
it can be seen i wasnt here yet so much is my fault

I'm sure things go on in the middle of the night. I never said anyone was being unkind to me mindfful. I just asked a question. I've seen others getting targeted. Am I torturing others? I didn't realize that I was. Sorry if I am. I don't mean to. Are you calling me a bully?

I'd stick around long enough to figure out if I could do something to change their minds about me, if not- I'd go where people had better attitudes and weren't so judgemental!

sensitive: How would you prank them?


Well...assuming that I'm still 'hanging out' with the people who 'hate' me...I would have access to various areas of their homes. I would just play it off like I didn't realize they were trying to ostracize me. That way...I could have some fun at their expense.

I'd put saran-wrap across their toilets, under both the lid and the seat (of course this would be done immediately before leaving).

If I could think of an excuse to shut off their main breaker...I'd turn their electricity off and switch the breakers. So that when they turned on the kitchen light....a light in a bedroom came on, etc. (I doubt if I could pull this off...since they do 'hate' me and probably wouldn't consend to let me mess with their electricity),

I'd put cans on tuna all around their house....in the air ducts, back corners of pantries and closets, etc. It would take them weeks to get the smell out of the house.

I'd post a sign for 'Estate Sale' with their address at the end of their street. Just the people stopping by to inquire about the 'sale' would drive them insane.



That's all I can think of....for now.

I guess I would feel the fear and do it anyway grin

Dont let the bas***ds get you down is what i say - believe in yourself and the rest of the world has no options other than to see this working for you - sometimes its more difficult than others of course but i simply say 'never give up and nevr give in'

Consider others' opinions of course but they are usually subjective ones anyway - whats right for one person isnt necessarily right for another - we are on out own in most things - go out there and show the world you are good at this living stuff - its the only way grin

One of the most important things I ever taught my girls was to see things from all sides and not to judge whats right for other people from what's right for themselves, we all have different life experiences and I reckon one of the biggest lessons is not to let it get you onto that downward spiral - having said that though, there is a lot to be learned from all of our experiences............ daisy

Thanks Hun hug

For a few of my younger years I went through the hellish nightmare of self doubt and it was horrible - I was confident around my children but that was about it and I know it takes some working through..............


but, somewhere along the line, I turned a massive corner and I think it was about just getting out there and getting on with things instead of letting fear paralyse me - as it so often does with people grin


Life is one heck of an adventure and its all the better for grabbing it by the bal*s and getting on with it. grin wave

I chose other. I am responsible for my feelings.

I live and breathe and have my being, what is there to belong to? I am already a member of the human race.

Feelings are not facts. It is entirely possible that there are people who feel I hate them. They would be wrong. So I do not assume I know what other people feel about me.

The world is full of people who do not even know I exist. How can they like me? They are busy worrying what other people think of them.

Well said Trish!wave

I just re read my response and it gives no hint of the work that went into getting to that point of not giving my power away! Years of meditation, self examination and just plain cussedness. Work in radio and TV and you get letters in the press that tell the whole island what people feel about you. They never seem to publish the friendly ones!

Very well put, even a bit too "optimistic" , but it is something that many of us forget as it seems to go against what has been unfortunately instilled into many from childhood on.
Having said that, I find the choices somewhat limited in that your feelings as whether to go or stay is not limited to how you simply react to others, but also how you feel towards these others.
Would you ignore how you feel about them; do you like them regardless of how they may feel about you, if one does actually like some or all of those who want you gone, do you accommodate them and grovel til they do like you...is it worth it ...do you, in fact find any humiliation in becoming "likable"??? Are THEY worth it?
For myself, I came at a very early age to the altitude of "let the world linger on my middle finger", it is my choice, not someone else's as to stay around and either grovel or assert one's self or leave. Try and balance out the pros and cons of those around you it is again the question of Are they worth it? (and if so, why...?) %)

I would leave and I have left. Honey, there is no reason to let another person have that kind of power over you. You look like a beautiful person, of course I don't know your personality, but just from looking at your photo, you look beautiful. If it is a man that is making you feel this way, then he is not worth the time of day. Someone can take your self esteme and destroy it, but you have to fight back and let them know you are worth something. If you can't make a difference in the way you are treated, then by all means leave as fast as you can and forget it. Start all over somewhere else. dancing
