ORIGINAL: ohthat1percent Sure it makes sense but you are giving a hell of a lot of people power over you. Who are all these people you are talking about? If they aren't people who know you personally and understand all this. Then ---- stop talking to strangers about your relationships and who you are. People many times are idiots and make determinations without all the information as they listen to one side of the situation. And you are doing just the same as the rest of us. No, she isn't giving any of us any power over her. We listen to what she says and offer advice and opinions. It is up to her what she does with those comments. quote:
ORIGINAL: ohthat1percent Yes I do it as does anyone who offers opinions ona messagesboard about a situation. Opinions are supposed to be processed as data not a personal judgement you allow to define you. We didn't. She defines herself - not what others are saying. But, those that say they are {whatever}, usually aren't. quote:
ORIGINAL: ohthat1percent So now you've allowed other people to dictate your relationship, and you've broken up with a person. To me breaking up with someone is a personal decision because you have reached a place where you no longer communicate and the differences as to what each of you want are too far apart to compromise. And given what she described, that is exactly the position she found herself in. quote:
ORIGINAL: ohthat1percent Seems to me you are asking for way to many opinions instead of soul searching yourself and determining the answers based on your understanding of yourself. That was most of her problem. She couldn't see the wood for the trees. And that is why she came on here for help and advice. quote:
ORIGINAL: ohthat1percent I recommend you stop asking others for the answers you should be determining for yourself. Aaand... she couldn't do that for herself. For what it's worth, there's nothing wrong in asking for opinions and answers to your problems. After all, that's what forums are usually for; isn't it?? So stop telling her to stop asking. quote:
ORIGINAL: ohthat1percent Bdsm is a kaleidoscope of life, every time you make the slightest movement the horizon changes and new info appears to be processed. Instead of asking another to determine what it means to you - decide for yourself. You have to remember no one really cares what or even who you are- but they will have an opinion about it. And that's one of the beauties of an anonymous forum. We don't know her from adam. We form our opinions on what she tells us and draw from our own experiences to make suggestions. It's never a hard and fast rule 99.999% of the time. And, as usual, there are a plethora of different responses. But if the vast majority of those just happen to echo each other, there's usually some truth in what is being said and should be considered. And much to your chagrin, some of us in the scene actually DO care about others playing in the same playground.
