Even when you know who you are, people will challenge you. Calm, peace, patience in the storm is all you need. Keep your focus.


I agree. Remembering who I am and keeping calm is often the only thing that keeps me from punching the screen over some of the arrogant, ignorant shit people can say.

Mathematical Proof that Women are Evil.


Every man knows that to get a Woman (W) to put out you have to spend Time (T) with her and spend Money ($) on her. This can be expressed thus:

W=T+$

However it is insufficient to spend Time and Money separately, you need to do both at the same time (i.e. taking her out to a fancy restaurant), thus our equation becomes:

W=T($)

Also, as everybody knows Time is Money therefore in our equation we can substitute and arrive at:

W=($)($)

Money is the root of all Evil (E) so substituting again we arrive at:

W=(/E)(/E)

The root of all evil multiplied by the root of all evil is, or course, evil. Thus we arrive at our final equation:

W=E

And there you have it – incontestable mathematical proof that women are evil. Personally, I consider this a sound argument for reducing all women to a state of Gorean type bondage... we need to keep you evil little minxes under control.

Well I actually totally relate to this. I don't care if there's a question or not. The more I got to know myself, the more I was challenged for being myself. It was really strange to me. People didn't like it, and would not only challenge, but ridicule, criticize, and downright insult me over it.

Didn't change much, other than I don't spend a lot of time with them, if any.




Me as well. Unfortunately most of them are family. It's been painful at times.


Ditto. I get told that I need to censor myself because I'm "harsh", "not nice", "becoming an asshole." If being straight-forward and honest without sugar-coating shit means I'm not nice, then I'm glad I'm not nice.

I have, however, reached a point where I, quite frankly, don't give a damn.

While I'm doing that, someone check to make sure that I am not Brad Pitt. It would be a shame if I had some $20 million Hollywood mansion that I don't know about.

Me either, on the give a damn thing.

But yanno........I do get sick and tired of getting the same shit you've written about, simply because I am female. If a guy said, or expressed the same as I, they get a completely different reaction. Even GD is guilty of it. I got into a debate with a friend of his, yesterday. GD said I was just letting the guy get under my skin. No, I was defending my point. I really don't care what kind of stupid his friend is. Debating an issue isn't 'letting someone get under my skin'. It gets annoying.

Me as well. Unfortunately most of them are family. It's been painful at times.

I have a sister, with whom I was once extremely close. And then she decided she didn't like me anymore. I honestly don't know why, she chose to not talk to me about it. Very painful, although she's done this a couple of times in our relationship.

I decided awhile back I can't force someone to want a relationship with me, or even to like me (although I can't understand why someone wouldn't - haha!). So in my mind and heart I let her go, accepting that she's in whatever place in life she's in, and I'll love her anyway. I'll just keep being myself.

Oddly, I saw her just last week for the first time in 6 years. After she went home, she sent me a note on how cool she thinks I am. This time, I take it with a grain of salt. Thank you, love you, now back to me and my life.

The best we can do is to know ourselves and be confident in who we are. I've been outright shocked at some of the things I've been called (pollyana, I've never suffered, I'm a liar, I wear rose-colored glasses, I'm in denial, etc....) by people I love. I don't react anymore, other to tell them I love them and I wish them well, but I choose to surround myself with people who support my happiness.

Status: offline 		I can relate to this too.

Some years ago I even came out with the statement 'In life I follow the path guided by the voice of my inner soul, which speaks louder than all the angry, scornful voices of those around me who demand that I be more like them.'

The path is often lonely. But having spent twenty six years of not knowing who I was or having any sort of sense of identity it's progress.

I have got a relative who in my opinion is a natural slave. Her psychology has caused most of her relatives - at least on my side of the family - to be alienated from her. Nor do we like the way that she has raised her daughter. If only there was some man who would enslave her and put an end to the nonsense!
