A little bit of human touch

Sting & The Police "Every Breath You Take"



Mwahahahahahaha.... Love this comment.

"Am I the only one who thinks this song has a low-key "Psycho-Stalker" vibe to it? I mean, c'mon. "Every? move you make, every breath you take I'll be WATCHING you"??? Cool song and all but... I believe the guy was on the verge of a Fatal Attraction when he wrote this song, if you know what I mean."

Someone's expressed what I used to think listening to this song.

RE: finally back ... Did u miss me ??

Glad all went well.

RE: Is shyness a choice for mature people?

Hey, Amenda!

Don't worry about it.

I looked up your replies in this thread and I get what you are saying.

Have a great morning.

RE: Is shyness a choice for mature people?

Sheesh... What a typo... lol.

RE: Is shyness a choice for mature people?

Very deep observations, Lucy. I agree with all you said in this post.

About highlighted part -

it's not only in Italy,

I think it's a pretty common thing to mistake an obnoxious, rude, pushy personality with a strength of character. To some people at a first sight, on a surface it might look like it (when actions are not needed).

Probably because they never shut up? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... LOL...

RE: Is shyness a choice for mature people?

Nope.

Never black-and-white! Remember?

Besides, there is nothing wrong with little social niceties. It's important too...





...to some degree...




...some times...

RE: Is shyness a choice for mature people?

Oh, absolutely.

quote from my post: "a personality trait, a natural disposition, which covers a very wide range of human behavior."


First, I don't think that introverts necessarily crave solitude. They just need more time to themselves from time to time to contemplate things, they also may prefer solitude to boring gatherings. All in all - more selective.

I think, in a addition of different degree of introversion/extrovertion, there are different combinations of these personality traits with possible secondary traits, and/or some social phobias, or temperaments, or feeling inactivate in some specific areas.

Never black or white.



Hi Ginger.

RE: dating

A little bit of human touch

That is so beautiful. She is going to be a very lucky lady, Scout.

I am mostly here while working, because I am at the computer all day long and CS offers a nice break/variety from a work routine.

Then some days I also check-in in the evening for a few minutes .

A little bit of human touch

Thanks Cg.

Good to see you too.

Hope all is well.

You are such a beautiful person, NMP. Inside and out.

I find kindness to be one of the most attractive features in a person.

A little bit of human touch

What a nice surprise. Thank you, Ginger.

Many valid points.


About people who read but don't post - I've met a couple of them. Very outspoken and very outgoing. So I have to disagree with the highlighted part. The rest is pretty accurate, IMO.

RE: What kind of no-sense is this

What being brutally honest means to you?

Another out-of-the-box thinker.

Excellent point, Jvind.

Jealousy can be a very powerful emotion

and

definitely can bias someone's *truth* to a degree of sounding irrational.

RE: Intentions....

I think there is always some gray area when it comes to dating.

Intentions are never stand-alone entity.

The more two people get to know each other, the clearer their intentions become, even to themselves.

Self-acceptance

What kind of change you keep in mind, K.?

Physical appearance? The only thing one can't change after 40 is neck and hands skin tone.

If you are talking about changing their thoughts or behaviors, I don't agree with a 40yo mark, people are fully formed much-much earlier, somewhere around mid-20s (IMO).

For a 30yo it can take months and even years in psychotherapy working on trying to change their behaviors, just like for older -- 40-50yo people.

Changing somethings that is already an integrated part of one's personality, or their way of thinking and their outlook on life/world is not easy at any age in the adulthood.

G'evening, Koni.

RE: Would You Kiss

Having no power sucks.

Leaves in the wind.

RE: I'm Baack!!!

Self-acceptance

(So there is no such a thing as a full self-acceptance?? )



P.S.




Kind of clashes with a *helping-to-hit-rock-bottom* theory?

RE: If someone you wanted to date lived a different lifestyle...

It would fully depend on a difference in question.

Self-acceptance

I insist it is...
















P.S.

Self-acceptance

I so understand where you are coming from, Kc, it's pretty much like myself, except by now I figured that learning new work-related things don't make me happy anymore, I do it because I have to, not because I want to. I don't have this ambitious drive anymore.

And yes, good health is the most precious thing.

Self-acceptance

A conscious choice.

Self-acceptance

Good luck with those lozenges-and-patches, NMP. It can be done.

Self-acceptance

I recon it's the former...


I dunno, R., can't say I've seen many of this kind around here.

RE: Online Jealousy

No, it's irrelevant. If people get attached to each other emotionally, jealousy happens and it's normal.

What is not normal (whether it's on line or in RL): taking it with a 3rd party. 3rd party owes you nothing, your partner does.
(Even though there is no such a thing as on-line partners - not in my book. But some people insist on playing on-line love... I guess better then nothing - in their mind. )


Hello, Scuba.

Self-acceptance

Absolutely agree with this statement.




Love, as great as it might be, doesn't automatically bring peace in one's life and one's mind, R.
Since we don't live in a vacuum and have other ties, sometimes love may bring more problems.

Great song.

Thanks.
