Was thinking the same thing myself the other day when I witnessed this going on in chat. Start a thread. That's what threads are for...to get support if you need it. Glad you've addressed the issue anthony. Hopefully peeps will get the message...and if they don't there are consequences they will...

I'm with Albatross on this one. Whilst showing appreciation is a good thing, eventually your constant pattern of doing this will start to create resentment in the people you work with, so it's natural that they are giving you this feedback, even if it is passive aggressive to some degree and not...

It is important to come back to these basic accomplishments of still being here, still standing. Thanks for the reminder...and welcome derek. :)

Well, I had a rather interesting experience two nights ago. I am not a seasoned entheogen user. I have tried mushrooms a total of about 4 times in the last 2 years. Two nights ago I tripped balls, as they say...and it was the most intense experience I've had bar DMT...hands down. There are...

Sounds very similar to my own experience with my parents Jess. My father gave me a book on how to cope with being a failure! Yes, he really did that. He had just lost his house and business so I think he was the one feeling like a failure and projected that onto me, but at the time it was like...

Thankyou, that was nice to wake up to. :)

It certainly is a reminder of how happy and loving we as humans can be, when we aren't all down in the black hole of depression or misery that so many people are. I love that about ecstacy and MDMA. I believe all these substances can propel a persons individual evolution, as long as they take...

It wasn't. I think I'm just a bit obsessed with having to take responsability for my part to play in any given situation, because I see it as disempowering to just be the victim. I'm reassessing this.

I usually do but sometimes I really don't know I've hurt someone by being blunt. It was raised once on another forum I was a part of and I had no idea I'd actually hurt anyone. No one voiced their feelings of hurt so even though I heard them say I was attacking them...to me I did not feel that...

That's an interesting question. Actually, I DO with some people who are a lot more blunt than I am...but really only online. It gives me a bit of an insight into how I can come across to others, which I probably need. Different people can handle different levels of behaviours, and I have met...

Thankyou so much Ms Spock. Nice to feel supported and have people help me to let myself off the hook. I'm still occasionally thinking about what I could have done to prevent it from happening, but I notice when I do it and then tell myself that he chose to take the money so it wasn't my fault, I...

I think if you read over your initial post you may find the key to why you feel this way about yourself. You said that HE used to tell you that everything you did was wrong. Now you are telling yourself the same thing...see where I'm going here? It seems as though you have internalized his...

One thing I have noticed with PTSD is my ability to be careful is sometimes impeded, as in situations like this one. I have real trouble being careful...with putting data in the right files as well as situations like this. I forget things so easily and am careless. I should not be left in charge...

I don't see how going to the police will actually help? Yes, they have security cameras...but the guy left no id and he simply won't come back and has probably spent the money by now. I still got paid for the work I did, I just lost all my tips. I don't know if police would bother if it's tips...

I've managed to talk myself out of beating myself up, though I was being quite brutal earlier...but I just keep saying "Beating myself up won't change the fact that he took all my money tonight and it will only make me feel even worse about it, when I already felt humiliated, impotent, stupid...

@Radise...from what I have learned. the 5 tibetan rites are a series of short exercises that are helpful to the organs of the body as well as the endocrine system, and it is known as a "fountain of youth" exercise, as there seems to be some age defying outcome. I start each one with a bridging...

If you ignore or snap at people when they talk to you, becoming a loner might not be a choice. :p I'm just being humorous, but I know what you are saying, and I've had many times like this. I was happy being a loner for many years and have only recently started making more effort to be more...

You're lucky your sight came back...I'm sure you know that though. Are you visiting Costa Rica now, or do you live there?

How would you deduce that a person is a serial cheater, much less a serial killer from what they put on their profile, or write in general? Serial killers don't really go around advertising it or talking about weird stuff to strangers, and someone who cheats a lot probably would not let on that...

Hmmm, I don't think I was saying to be fake at all. That's never the best way to be or to make friends. No, of course it helps if you are solid in yourself, but I meant kinda what Dana was saying...that if you act as though you have plenty of friends, then people won't pick up that you have...

This is pretty much me as well, and I can attest that taking this attitude does work best. It's the neediness they pick up on, and are repelled by I think. I've started to make a few new friends and I'm sure if any of them knew I had hardly any real friends, apart from online ones I've never...

Datura as a first time psychadelic experience is...pretty crazy. I had a girlfriend who took it when she was a teenager and she did go blind for about 6 weeks. Her friends had to lead her around and watch out for her. Eventually her sight returned but she was VERY lucky. I never have been able...

Loneliness is pretty much at epidemic proportions these days. The internet can give the illusion of connection, and can be a safe haven for people who are anxious or suffering from trauma, but that can also lead to a disconnection in real life from contact with people offline, which can lead to...

Yes, I've come across people like this, who minimize their own suffering because they think that if they were not molested then what is there to complain about, and think that other people will judge them the same way so underplay their stories to avoid that from happening. I've also had plenty...

I've been recovering from a night out last night with a girlfriend, and am getting ready for another one tonight with another girlfriend. Just making something to eat now before a rest and then get ready. I was supposed to work all weekend, but I came down with a bad cold two days ago and have...
