Some times it's very easy to see only the bad things about your self, just remember there is always twice as many good things if you look properly. I find most of the time any nastie comments said are pot kettle black comments anyway. As the person saying it, is usally far from perfect them selves. Becareful not to suppress or bottle things up to much as they may eventually linger and build up over time.

confidence. in yourself as a worthwhile contributor to the boards and in your own opinions and contributions to the boards. if this slave allowed others to hurt her feelings every time somone posts something negative, mean or snarky with regards to redheads, or folks who are restricted in their speech/writing, or Master, or her health related issues, or something she has posted an opinion on, etc. it would be a major waste of time and energy. this slave's posts are never intended to hurt another's feelings, merely offer her perspective. this slave has tried, in the past, to open a dialogue with folks who have taken offense to her,something she has posted or to correct a misunderstanding. more often than not, they are not interested...this slave assumes the drama is what they wanted to begin with, and has come to realize that's what some folks are solely here for. C'est la vie.

I use the block feature on here a LOT. But only when I find myself getting aggravated. I then go back in a couple days and read what the person had to say. No one is responsible for our "feelings" but ourselves.

Can you "block" certain posters on here? I never knew that. Please tell me how I can block certain regular annoying posters. Thanks in advance

I have the posts of nine persons blocked on this side, often because of hard to read fonts. Most of them are no longer posting, though.

Personally I never block on here, it is all too easy to miss an important or valid point mid thread.

Heh, it is something that happens over time. I used to wear my heart on my sleeve, but over the years I have learned to simply not care.

I have blocked a few people that NEVER had anything interesting, important nor valid to say. One of them lacked a certain function of logic, I eventually concluded. Not something that person could do anything about, but it did cause continual conflict, so it was not in either of our interests that I read the posts of that person.

I want to thank everyone for their advice. Admittedly I don't know what use frozen cow piss will be thankies Tigress but the rest I will take to heart. I've always been hypersensitive and shy, I guess I still am lol.

You know the greatest trick of all? Sociopathy. It has it's uses in the online world. You simply do not care about people except a select few. If you do not care about them, you do not care what kind of horseshit spews out of their mouthes. Some people are naturals, some people have to develop it. Me, I just do not care. I have weathered so much crap in my life that I do not give a damn anymore. It really is funny because it drives some people nuts. They do not know how to deal with it because they erroneously assume that EVERYONE should care about the blather that spills out of their beaks. Unless you are in my inner circle, do not count on me giving a shit unless I specifically ask you. You should try it. [;)]

I'm sorry that you've reached the decision to not care & to shut off from life :( I think that I will always over-care, over-worry about people, most of the time I am okay with it. Sometimes such as now it causes me a world of hurt but ohgosh I'd rather hurt badly sometimes than to shut down. I don't want to learn it or develop closing people off, I just want to learn how to deflect some hurt. It is like blocking people, chances are that I will never block. I don't um.. seeking words.. I don't want doors closed, I always want the chance to understand or be understood. So I have to be open. There is too much to see in the world, too many people and thoughts. I hope you let some of that back in. Is it really a choice of being too open & closing off? There has to be a middle ground. I know I'm not answering every post, I am reading them though. LOL I am energy depleted & typing is exhausting. Sigh I so miss IRC. I need to work on proper paragraphs too. Yes, IRC--chatspeak--CM--forced to improve upon chatspeak. It does make sense in my head. Now I am rambling.

quote: ORIGINAL: Sinergy quote: ORIGINAL: Rule It is my experience that only truths hurt. But lies? If anybody told me that I am as fat as a pink elephant, that would not hurt me, as the remark is not applicable to me. Anybody who lies is not worthy of my attention and gets blocked. At most a lie will get a laugh out of me. But a truth? A truth only hurts when one denies that truth. People may tell me that I am bald. So what? It is a truth that I accept and that therefore cannot hurt me. Of course, if this were really true there would be no reason for you to invest energy in blocking people you dont agree with. Additionally, there would be no reason to continually announce to everybody else that you have blocked people. It is easy to talk the talk. Walking the walk is a different story. Sinergy Sounds about right. There's such a thing as trying too hard.

NorthernGent, I'm sorry but I truly don't understand the point of the post you just made. I am trying too hard? I should block people? I shouldnt block them?

I shouldnt block them? cjenny, my post was intended as agreement with sinergy's point (one that wasn't aimed at yourself). In terms of the above: 1) My advice is not to even contemplate blocking - it's plain ridiculous. If you're not keen on what a poster generally has to say then just swerve him/her. 2) Julia made a good point. If you're unsure whether or not a poster is being snide with you then it's wise to ask rather than launch them. Posters have different styles - not everyone uses smilies, winkies, the one with the glasses and tongue etc - it doesn't mean us types are any less friendly towards you. Smilies are a matter for personal taste - just because a wink is placed on the end it doesn't mean the poster is all sweetness and light. 3) Everyone has their insecurities, absolutely everyone. It's the nature of human fraility, vanity and the enviroment in which we are shaped. Yes, there are levels of insecurity and some are able to keep their emotional baggage in check better than others. I'll hazard a guess that you're far from alone in being annoyed by posters from time to time. 4) It's not necessarily a negative characteristic - some men like emotional women - including this one [8D][;)][:D] See the positive in your sensitive side. 5) If they persist, hunt them down in real life and hack indiscriminately at their bollocks with a scythe (it works for me).

cjenny -> RE: How do you get fora tuff? (1/29/2007 2:13:54 PM)
Omg. Okay, let it be known that I do not block nor hack bollocks. I may hire it done though..hmm. I'm getting better with asking how something was directed.. ie, I asked you! Yay me.
