i dont have a woa is me attitude, my low self confidence comes from years of being bullied and humiliated in school. people who assume that dont know anything about me and dont care to know. they just want to judge.


That's an awesome hat.

I second this.

Too many people are too caught up in themselves to even bother seeing another point of view. Just like people so busy to find fault that they don't even realize when they are taking things out of context. When they do realize it, they can't even fess up and apologize.

This is why I brought up ADD earlier. Too many want to judge from their position of ignorance. Not enough want to spend the time to learn.

On the other hand, if I was so pessimistic, then I would have given up 10 years ago. If people want to judge me, then they don't realize just how strong I really am. They don't know my life, my successes and failures. They don't know how each year becomes more difficult than before. Quite honestly, I am tired of the naysayers masquerading as the compassionate, if you know what I mean.

Perhaps it's you who is unable to see things from a different view point?

Ah, so I'm not allowed to ask questions about other people's views? The reason for this thread was for people to share their views.

Just an observation... if I may.
"it's not always waht you say, but how how you say it."
Ever hear that?
Did you really expect peeps with low self esteem to come here and share openly?

You've a beautiful mind... seriously.
Your approach could use some polish.

No one is forced to share anything. If someone is going to get upset about being asked questions, perhaps sharing certain things is not the best thing for them.

Or, if they don't like my approach, there's no need to respond to me. :wink:

Does it not make sense to you that peeps with low self esteem are going to be reluctant to share openly?

You ask for response but disregard the very people that you'd most want to hear from?
Or is it that you'd prefer people without first-hand knowledge of the subject to come here and just speculate...?

Anyone is welcome to share whatever they feel like on the subject. I'm not telling certain people to share or not share anything. I'm not making fun of people's situations. I do ask questions, though. And I'm pretty sure I am allowed to have my own opinions on things. If that bothers you, there's not much I can do about that.

SSsssssh ADHD got me in serious trouble, I was bullied to the point that I got my nose fixed, that threw me over the edge, that's when I got in trouble, got HepC and got rid of it, lived my life feeling guilty for getting in trouble, now recently I just say **** it all and light up a joint. screw the world, and I'm happy i have a great job, two infact and am happy as ever, i am living life as a teenage, my son does not speak to me because of the divorce, but i love and text him all the time, my daughter lives w me she loves and understands me. the world will **** you up if ;you let, don't let it. I had low self esteem, my momma never warned me about the way of the world, and how mean people can be. I don't blame her, but she shoulda warned me.

Oh, stop it... of course your welcome to ask whatever you want.
And your opinions are not in question.

The deal here is... WHO do you want to respond to your questions... AND are you looking with serious inquiry?
That is... are you seeking to gain knowledge... or just add to your posting tallies?

If you want to know about peeps with these difficulties... ask THEM.
Not a bunch self-assured people for their opinions about people that they (naturally) recoil from.

Foolish inquiries hardly bother me... other than I don't suffer foolishness very well..
So in the interest of peace... I'll beg off.
And leave you to it.

I believe I've already said that anyone can respond. There's no need for you to keep asking about that, since the answer has already been given.

I'm not sure why you have an issue with me, but there's no need to go after me here just because you do not agree with what I've said.

Okay. Enough!

Anything I said was not an assault exclusive to Singmesweet. She is not the exclusive reason behind some of my posts. I actually like and respect her, despite what others may perceive. I don't always agree with her, nor her with me. She has a good heart, but like the rest of us, she has flaws. I actually go out of my way to expose my flaws. However, I tend to choose which threads to do so. Many of those threads involve the same people again and again. Singmesweet is one of those people. I honestly believe she intends to help me sort out my own issues. However, that is something for her and I to discuss in a one-on-one rather than a public forum.

Nothing I posted was meant to lead to a direct assault on her! In fact, she is not the only one I was referencing with my comments across multiple threads. She should not be singled out since that is a further misinterpretation of my words. If others have issues with her, that is between her and them.

Enough said.

Perhaps it's you who is unable to see things from a different view point?


But you never seem to see anything, from anyones point of veiw, without questioning it.


The point is that some people are just venting. Others just need to have their feelings validated. At times, you seem seriously lacking in that area and come off as harsh or unfeeling. I don't know you well enough to say that you are harsh or unfeeling; that's just how it looks by what you say.

I am a very cold person, but I'm not heartless. Mostly in the way, that I can be helpful.

But, I care very little, for others.
