The thought that pride is killing you is often enough to kill you Vinny. I don't think you could ever let pride run away with you. You are too grounded for that.
Typical example on here, of someone I couldn't get on with, is someone who gives you their phone number within a couple of e mails, seems pleasant enough, asks for yours, then if you provide it, persists in ringing you all hours of the day and night, (talking about anything, just to take up your time, and be "with" you).
Usually one of the clues is that they talk a lot about "liking" you very early on. They often repeat over and over that they would like a companion/partner, how good you would be for each other, how much you have in common, and persist in this vein, even after you have told them you only want friendship.
The air of desperation is almost palpable. None of this is immediate of course, but I don't think, short of death threats or scammers letters, that there is an "instant" put-off that is reliable in estimating character.
I think it is fairer to take a little time to assess people.
I wouldn't spend it. I'd invest it. The interest on a million is 3000-5000 a week. Easy to live off the interest, (with money left over), and not touch the capital at all. Buy a house a year with the interest I hadn't spend and rent them out. Ten years or so, it becomes more serious money.
Danny, all you need is a positive belief in yourself. You deserve to have someone beautiful in your life, and now you are going to live the life you deserve. Believe that, and all will be fine.
He's talking about the main pic not being of his face. CS do raids to take them down from time to time, so that if people have main pics at all, then they will all show up as face pics, for uniformity.
My best guess is, unseen damage from head trauma in the accident she had the month before......A small bleed out or swelling to the brain, would be enough to change her personality completely.
Having said that. Having raised 13 teenagers in all, I can easily see where they do make you homicidal quite often, and in the right circumstances it woudln't take much to just lose it.......
Two cups of yogurt walk into a bar. The bartender says "We don't serve your kind in here." One cup of yogurt says, "Why not? We're cultured individuals."
Seems you got lucky with your flu thingy, (not that flu is any picnic). Swine flu killed 29 people here over Christmas in a one week period. I have been holed up in the house for months. Steroid injections are no fun, that's for sure.
Since I am allergic to all antibiotics except penicillin and it is useless for most things, I really could die from any infection, no matter how small, so have to stay away from people.
Pain getting longer, words getting shorter. Doing my best. No harm intended in my short answers. Fingers sore so can't type as much. Hope you are well.
RE: Which of the Seven Deadly Sins are you most guilty of?
Misakenly thinking you can cope with life, is not a sin Vinny. It's just being human.
