Category: Getting to Know You
It has come to my attention that some people think they know me based on their own assumptions and the Oh So reliable gossip. If anybody wants to really know about me, read on, otherwise, continue to draw the wrong conclusion.
I am 38 years old. I am married and have been for 17 years. Our marriage isn't perfect, we have been having some very tough times lately, but that is my business. He is a troubled soul.
I enjoy reading and writing fiction and poetry. I have a little brother and a little sister who I adore. I have 3 nephews and a niece all 5 and under.
I work full time helping people with disabilities and enjoy it very much.
I have nearly died twice in the past 7 years*not seeking attention, just stating the facts* So, if the haters want to keep hating, have fun with it. I have made my peace with the man upstairs and I am better and stronger and more considerate because of all I have faced.
Like me, hate me, or just walk away from me, God bless the ignore button, Hmmmm?
I can only imagine the frustration must have endured to inspire such a clarifying post. I don't the gossop, and nor do I care to, but it's unfortunate if so many choose to make assumptions. Hope this topic helps people with your reality.:)
like it or not, people are always gonna talk. although I've never spoken to the original poster, loving oneself for who you are is key. once that happens, what others say, think, or do won't (and shouldn't) matter.
In a perfec world, you'd be right. Sadly it can be difficult for sme people to not be negatively affected by the oppinions of others. In some cases that's good. We all need to be self-aware that we may grow and adapt to life. It's a matter of knowing which oppinions to filter out and which to take to heart.
thanks floppy.
all i really knew of you is on blink nation
post four, I disagree; to each their own, though. that's how I live my life, and it has gotten, and continues to get me quite far.
I think when you start to be affected by what a bunch of strangers on the internet think of you, then you need to question why.
Most of these people are insignifficant in your life; you are never likely to meet them; so what they think is inconsequencial.
For the most part, the haters don't bother me. They can go on hating. Everybody seemed to miss the sentence about me making peace with the man upstairs, LOL.
I have a small *very small* circle of friends on here whose opinions matter.
It just irritates me a little when I come on and talk about having yet another health issue and it is called attention seeking by immature people. Guess I should come on and talk about what I made for dinner or what kind of toothpaste I use...
Wait What?LOL jk
Anyhow, in real life I get along with 99% of those I meet. I am smart, funny and loyal, all great traits and ones I look for in a friend.
Thanks to all Zoners who are mature enough not to judge.
The rest of you haters can fuck off, LOL
Well, ultimately it's about self preservation.
I agree that it's all about the people whose opinions matter. And ultimately, if most peoples' opinions don't matter, then why would you want to share information about your health issues with them?
I couldn't give a toss what the majority of users on here think of me. But to that end, I wouldn't talk about things to or in front of them that were personal to me.
Protect yourself really is what I'm saying. If the people aren't important enough for you to care what they think, then they're not iportant enough for you to share intimate details of your life with either.
I quite agree with the cl who's with post seven. The internet is subjective so you can keep your head up, the only advice I'd offer is don't let it bother you. Because things will always get blown out of perportion and people will always use the anon feature.
I agree with Clair on all counts. And remember that once you log out of the site, these people go away.
I've been here for years and have never taken a long break from this place. I know many people who don't log on because of the drama started by this site. These are the same people who go find drama elsewhere, and move from website to website. I guess one of the reasons I don't feel I need to leave ever is because I'm very careful about who I actually tell about my life situation when it's good or bad. And if someone does decide they want to give me shit, I can twice them over no matter who they are. That's not being arrogent, I think most people on here who really know me also are aware of this fact. All this to say that you shouldn't put anything out there that you don't want thrown back in your face. some of the users on here are looking for some dirt to use against people. I equate it to a dog who humps everything. The dog doesn't care that there is jiz everywhere or that it's humping everything. When it's bored of humping one thing, it'll go right on to the next with no regard for what it had done previously. This because it's entertaining. And like me, many of these people who do this log out and resume their normal lives outside of the website and are cool with it.
Ah yes and there is nothing really in my post that isn't already common knowledge. My reasoning is this: If I hadn't posted something there is a couple people in particular who would be sure to throw out their own version of me*and they already have. These people know me in real life and so I can't log off and get away from them.
I've known floppy for just about 8 months now, and she's a wonderful kick-ass chick to be around. :) Lol, yeah,and fuck the haters! I don't really pay attention to what half the people say on this bitch, cuz like 70% of the people are talk,anyway
Flopped Eared Monster,
I haven't had the pleasure to talk with you, but I just wanted to say to you. God Bless and peace be with you!
I don't have many friends on here either. I just like reading the boards and comment on them once in a while.
God bless and hang in there!
I feel that people who like to gossip are the one's who want attention and the only way they can get that is to gossip about others.
You take care and go with God!
