Thanks Anne,
I meant I contribute very little at psycho-babble. I don't have much time these days and mostly I just post when I need to vent these days. So I was sort of apologizing for that. I am, however, very nice and polite with the people
I have group therapy with. I was very depressed yesterday and I guess I was exagerating a bit. Not everyone hates me. I just seem to get on this guy's nerves for some reason. It's just that these situations tend to bring back every memory I have of everyone who has ever been nasty to me in my life. I feel better now. But it's true that I talk too much and tend to interrupt people. It's rude, I know. But my mouth is faster than my brain at times. It's a real problem. I try very hard to be "polite" like everyone else but I always end up looking like I want to draw attention to myself. It's not like that and it really troubles me that people see it that way. Anyway. Thank you for the feedback. Best wishes to you.> > Else,
> Anyone who says mean things to others has a problem. Some of us are more sensitive to other's insensitive comments than others. Defective? Try replacing the word with sensitive,
> maybe overly sensitive at times. Are you kind to people? Try giving out at least one genuine compliment to someone each day. The only responsibility you have is to treat yourself with kindness, the rest will follow. Keep your radar out and stay away from mean-spirited people. Everyone has problems, everyone has a sore spot, a hurt spot, a "defect" if you will. There is a saying "fake it 'till you make it". Give one smile to someone and it will be returned. Just a small thing. It's OK to have great needs, just remember in order to get you need to give, even if you can give only a little bit. Consider yourself hugged. :) Anne
