LOL, even in a goodbye article I still get some misunderstanding.
Dude, you've got to get a thicker skin. I'm sorry to see you go, but I'm not gonna kiss your rump to try to talk you into staying.
I don't expect anyone to try to stop me. It's not what I was looking for. Thiker skin? Probably, but I don't get hurt over disagreements that easily. I understand people have differnt opinions and I don't try to take other peoples opinions away from them. My problem is that I try to say one thing and come across saying something else that completely throws off the entire conversation to the point that I end up reading the who argument just to figure out what the hell happened. I have seen misunderstandings before on this site, but so far not like mine. I have even gotten people mad at me here and not even sure why. But that's OK, I guess only I understand. I appreciate the reply though.
Ah Charles I am one of the offenders that have not expressed enough thanks to you for your replies and consistent well thought out articles, My bad.
That's OK, as I said I never really looked for direct thanks. As a matter of fact you have actually appreciated me on several occasions. I'm just happy with feeling part of the group, sometimes I feel Isolated and it kinda sucks. But that's just me.
MM try to remember to make a friend you have to be a friend. You have to express interest in taking the next step with people that interest you as I have done with several people here, there is nothing to it, you simply state you would like to explore a private meeting of the minds in a less public forum, like e-mail, that usually leads to Phone exchanges, possibly friendship.
I am a bit shy as I said and try to make friends in the sense of somewhere to hang out at. I don't expect to be best buds with everyone, I just wanna debate without creating enemies or people who hate me when I'm not trying to be hated. Thanks for posting.
If your blogging to make friends you need to make the effort like MM says. There’s nothing personal in your writing. Try writing more playful, trivial material, like if you have a good day or a bad day write about it. Talk about your kids, kids are writing material fountains and people will relate to that more than current events.
You are right, I could have done more than just politics and maybe some current events. I guess I got caught up in hanging in the politics section and wanting to learn more about politics since I have never voted and suddenly felt the urge to excercise my patriotism so that I could feel I have the right to complain. Guess I will expand my articles next time I try.
I’d think twice about leaving, blogging as you’ve found out can sure teach you how many ways words can be misunderstood. And even if you don’t make friends, learning how to choose your words carefully when you write will spill over to other social skills. It may even be the only help for foot in mouth disease.
Maybe your right. Maybe I should think twice. OK I'll bit, I will take a week off and think about it. Maybe I'll get inspired and learn to deal with this problem I have.
Good grief, a 'I'm leaving JU' drama over an argument about whether or not 'most men' find pussy attractive?
Hah!, Wouldn't have expected anything less from you LW. But believe me when I tell you this is not so much about the, as you put it, pussy argument. It merely became the one that filled the cup that made me realize I have a probelm. Kinda like 3 strikes you out kinda thing.
Oh quit feeling sorry for yourself, you've not been wronged here. You had a misunderstanding. So did I, when assuming the artificial insemination wasn't a covered procedure, and once I realized I had passed my own misunderstanding along to others, I copped to it, apologized, and moved on.
I don't see it the same. You see, your mistake was you made an assumption and then realized it. I, on the other hand was talking about one thing and came across sounding like something else and even when I tried to explain it further I was met with insults and being seen as offending others without even trying. But it's cool, I understand I have issues with expressing myself. I guess I see the world very differently, I tend to think I see the world for what it really is but also hope that sometimes the things one thinks just won't happen can happen. I try to have some hope in what can be seen almost as a hopeless world. But I get more negatives than I can count. I do admit to feel sorry for myself often but then if I don't who will.
But hey, if you're gonna split over something this retarded, all I can say is c'ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.
I'm definitely gonna miss ya too.
If your having doubts just because someone/people - whatever - disagree with you - forget it.
Again, it's not about the disagreements, its about being misunderstood to the point of being seen, by many here, as a jerk.
Maybe you should just stop feeling sorry for yourself and, as already suggested, grow a thicker skin.
Good grief.
Maybe I should. But then I've been told many times that I can't help others without helping myself first. I have 2 choices, I either accept I'm the jerk some think I am or try to explain that I am not. I refuse to believe I'm a jerk and I seem to have trouble making others believe me. I just lost both choices. Guess will have to make a third one myself. We'll see a week from now I guess.
