Feel Better:Complain About Anything, page-80534

I am not surprised by your response or that from justis either. Some of what I expressed I experienced before and thought but didn’t comment but since others feel perfectly entitled to express their thoughts on others and on what they say / and sometimes to be quite deeply personal and personally critical I decided to hell with it I’d also express my thoughts

and so I did. It’s my view of course but I’ve not noticed that others post anything other than their own opinions or perspectives or thoughts on what they know - and sometimes think they know.

My views have a validity for me and I just happen to have a habit of asking myself why things I observe might be happening. Whether anyone agrees with me is up to them. I am guessing not many, if any, judging from the response

maybe when I write I also sound serious and of course you’ve told me I’m too “intelligent” but maybe you meant “intellectual” for people. I’ve been told to dumb it down blah blah.

Aren’t I lucky that my real friends can either cope with that or see me as a real human. Should I build my sense of self on what some here think of me - and maybe all of you? I think not because that would be foolish.

I also think you misunderstand by saying I think structures are in place. I don’t think that at all. In fact far from it. But I do think that roles are taken, adopted or assigned. That’s why people who write on here and use language or tone or style that someone thinks is not right for the thread get ticked off. Because someone decides it’s not right. That’s why if someone offends against some - but not all - others jump to their defence even if those doing the defence deliver behaviour that’s not always particularly polite, or poke or criticise as well.

that is roles played out. it is also group think and behaviour.

does it make you feel like an insect being examined. Maybe but I actually doubt it - I suspect it just annoys people or else I wouldn’t get instruction from others about how I should be or what I should do differently

I’m tempted sometimes to return the favour but quite honestly I don’t even particularly do that when I’m coaching people for work, preferring to describe what I am seeing and then having open conversations. I know this thread isn’t work and maybe I was just meant to suck up things and get on with it but not sure there’s that much point really.

thanks anyway fro the attempt to educate me and who knows maybe what - change me, make me a better human, help me grow up, whatever.
