Thanks guys, you have been a real big help. |
Scooter,
Keep in mind that nobody has the power to make anybody feel anything. We do it to ourselves. My ex-wife/super-beahtch Phd. sociologist clued me in to this hard to accept (and hard to put to use) fact. I've put it to use on numerous occasions - it wasn't easy, but it has always shortened the periods of frustration, anger, humiliation or whatever I felt as the result of another's ridicule, chastisement or whatever.
You come across as a sincere person who doesn't hesitate to ask questions or voice your opinions (several of which I've differed with and challenged, if you'll recall
). I have respect for people who do that and don't think anyone should make themselves feel bad because someone ridicules, makes fun of or simply disagrees with what they think and say.
I hope you keep posting and consider the sources of the responses you get - some will be reinforcing and helpful; others will be flat fcuking lame (laugh them ones off
).
Cheers,
David
