I Realize That I

[Deleted member 12723]

Let It Be, I had a neighbor who was really crazymaking for so many years and I understand how that kind of bad behavior can drive a person up the wall. I think it is so hard not to take it personal.

You are a wonderful and caring person and she has been hurting your feelings for so long. It is hard, very hard to cope around a person like your neighbor. You are not alone.[DOUBLEPOST=1404859517,1404859363][/DOUBLEPOST]I realized today that I am changing and turning into me instead of being a part of a couple. Now that I have healed and recovered some from the death of my husband and doing things on my own, I am becoming like a person I have never known before and my self esteem has shot up through the roof.

Many positives in my life recently and I am going to enjoy it while it lasts.

@gizmo, thanks so much for saying what you did.

I so appreciated how caring and supportive your words were and wanted to tell you this.

I realise I can get there. I can manage/heal/disco dance through life and I can make if fun for the people around me as well as myself.

I realize that I need to stop counting so much on others approval, stop comparing myself to some impossible standard that exists only in modern mythology, and just become the me that I wanted to be. Tough time getting there though...

Thank you for what you said to me Let It Be. I really appreciate it.

I realize that so many positive changes are slowly growing within me lately and I am so happy about this event. I feel and think I am finally coming into my own.

I realize that I have a new life skill to learn, encouraging myself instead of depending on it outside of me. I am so grateful for this realization. I will practice at it. I have never done this before. I am excited about the things I will learn about myself.

I realize that, although I have a relationship with my mother, I have withheld physical touch to the detriment of both of us. I had a ringside seat to an uncomfortable familial situation this week and have made a commitment to give my mom a hug, kiss and tell her I love her when I go check on her this weekend.

This is stress/anxiety producing, but I am at a point where I think I can manage it.

have made a commitment to give my mom a hug,

The last time I gave my Mum a hug, Rory was present. He said afterwards that it looked like I was hugging a cardboard cutout. It felt like that too. I got nothing back.

I wish you better luck!

@ Lucycat - Yeah I'd already dealt with that one as a mid to late thirty something when my father was still alive, we remained awkward about that to the end of his life, but at least we both were right in there dealing with the same reaction. We both looked like cardboard and had a whole lot of stress/anxiety about it. :unsure:

I realize that I am only human and will make mistakes and the best thing I can do is learn through them and move on trying not to repeat the mistake so I can move forwards.

I realize that I will sometimes make a friend mad, and the same with her making me mad. It is not the end of the world if we do make each other mad. Doesn't mean the friendship has to end.
