Yes, it was extremely insensitive of her to talk about her ex in this way to you. That is a huge no-no and she didn't get the memo. I'm sorry you had that experience. Personally I would dump her ass on that point alone if I were you...or at the very least express to HER how it makes you feel...

@scout86 The idea of having compassion for psychopaths never really crossed my mind. I always thought of them as not really human, given that they lack the essential components that are what being human is. I kind of thought of them as a totally different species who operated as sharks in...

I once had a puppy named sheba as well. Such a beautiful name. She kept running away though and one day she ran away and we could never find her again. Now, looking back on it, maybe she could tell things about my family that I was not yet aware of? I don't know? I'm glad you've found closure...

I guess the timing and the fact that he displayed that flag got everyone paranoid that it was the first of more to come and the word "terrorism" is always going to be used to stir the pot...especially now. Yes, it's good to keep it all in perspective, but at the same time, we really haven't...

That's terrible to have your reality and past negated, as though it never happened. it's horrible the way vets are treated. Seriously messed up. As anthony stated you are welcome to post what you need to process and we are here to listen and help in any way.

Definitely how she operates. Yes, I could have done this. I am not good at doing this when my goat gets up. Absolutely! When its something physical, "no" means no and needs to be respected immediately. Obviously, this was a verbal communication issue though, not something physical. Yes...

She later told the woman she lives with that it was just to make me back off and she thought we could work it out later on down the track, even though I was not allowed in her house and her hostility towards me lasted for many weeks afterwards, despite me not having any hostility towards her...

I can see what you are saying scout86, and it's an interesting debate...I appreciate your perspective, even if I don't quite agree. I think the difference is that we were supposedly friends, and stopping me from speaking because she didn't want to look at something I was pointing out to her as...

Actually this was how I felt this morning. Not to the degree it would have in America I'm sure, but there was that sense. Mixed feelings really. Sad for the families of the deceased, and for the victims of such a traumatic event, as well as proud of the response from the empathic community...

That's exactly how I felt Solara, and it pissed me off that she tried to shut me down like that without even hearing me, and then made me out to be harassing her when I was questioning everything she said to me. I took a lot more words and time to do it, and I can see how my essay length replies...

I already posted once that I was speaking about shootings at schools, or generally shootings in shops or on the street...not sieges as such. It's all terrorism at some level. I was hoping my point would be taken the way I meant it, but I guess I could have been much clearer and made disclaimers...

Apparently some people have managed to get out via a ladder from the second storey window, including a baby. Only a handful though at this stage. They must be so scared. Australia isn't...we are babes in the woods when it comes to this kind of thing. We don't carry guns, nor do we usually have...

I prefer this report. It sticks to the facts without speculation, though I did notice that someone said it was an ISIS flag. It's hard to know how many different terrorist factions use that flag though. They all believe Allah is the one true god...

Thankyou. I'm better at stopping it these days, and distraction works well also. Earlier I had the experience of totally letting it go and letting them have each other and that felt really good. :)

Yes, I was surprised VICE would be so irresponsable. They are usually quite good. Maybe I'm thinking of their documentaries though? Still, an Islamic flag of obscure origin has been displayed inside the cafe, but it's a bit of a leap to just assume it is ISIS...even if it might be. At this...

By hostage crisis in america, I was referring to school shootings, more than "terrorist groups' as such. They are still acts of terror even if it isn't political as such.

This just in...https://news.vice.com/article/breaking-gunmen-displaying-islamist-flag-take-hostages-in-sydney?utm_source=viceanzfb I know this is just normal for some countries, and in America, hostages and shootings are quite common place, but here....not so much. Hopefully the people involved...

Yes, I'm reminding myself that it's a good thing that I'm away from her. I don't really know what this other woman thinks, and I was stopping myself yesterday from getting carried away trying to impose what I think she thinks, or what the other person has told her about me, as I know it's none...

Thinking of you otakujome. That sounds really rough and a hard situation to get out of. You deserve much better, even if it doesn't feel that way right now. It's only the terrible messages these people are putting in your head that is making you feel so bad...but they aren't true. They are lies...

I think the fact that the frenemy told her that I 'harassed' her, when from my point of view, I was questioning her motives for what she was saying to me in the initial reply from the day we had that fight online, is what pisses me off the most. I've now lost a potential friend because that...

I know this thread is pretty much dead but I need to vent a bit more about this scenario, as I've had some stuff churning in my head since yesterday. So, the woman who lives with the woman I had the falling out with...and we were just starting to become new friends, but the woman I am no longer...

Does working as a massage therapist count? Deep tissue massage...now THAT'S like a trip to the gym, believe me. I get a total workout while working and getting paid. My arms have become nicely sculpted it's just my lower back that is injured. It's my day off today. Yesterday I did an hour, but...

I've met anthony and nicolette in person. If they were psychos they would not give their real names or show their real faces, but I assure you the photos you see are anthony and nicollette. I'm sure there are plenty of psychopaths who do run forums for recovering people and feed off their fear...

Feeling like homeostasis has returned and the emptiness has been replaced with a comfortable hum of back to feeling good again. Glad I was able to release all that here. :)

Hard to grieve when there is no comfort gizmo. I hear you there and can relate right now. I'm also grieving a few losses, and so glad to be home so I can fall apart in the privacy of my own home, the rest of the world at bay. I've been experiencing anguish, anxiety, terror, hurt, grief, just...
