Give me your armchair analysis....

Serious question here...why do people have such an intense reaction to what I say or do? I deal with this in real life as well as here. I don't think that I'm any more controversial than the next person, so give it to me straight. I can take it.

I think it's just cause you don't sugar coat, or keep ANYTHING to yourlself. You pretty much push people (not saying that is bad necessarily). But you will say the shit that other people pnly dare to think.

BITCH!!!!





Maybe it's because we are all afraid of an outwardly opinionated woman NOT named Hilary Clinton or Oprah Winfrey...

Hmmmm....I've considered that. You see that I wrote "I can't take it"? That was a mistake, or was it?

I don't think you are mean

pardonme4livin said:

Do you have any idea how many times I've been called a bitch?

It's probably because you have a point of view. If that rubs others, that's just the consequences of being a strong woman. It's weird how men with strong opinions are steadfast or stubburn, but when women do it, we're bitches and "mean".

Yeah, but you just got here.

pinkgirl93 said:

That's weird that you just said that. If I were Fauxie, I could get away with it, and it would be "charming" to most. I think a little stubbornness on my part is the problem.

I've actually been here for over a year




I am new to GD though, so I guess you are right

What....today you mean?

pardonme4livin said:

hahaha!

I want opinions from people who absolutely HATE me here. I know you're out there people.....spit it out!!!

gemini13 said:

Karla, have you considered being nicer!

I think on occasion you can be abrasive. It's not that you HAVE an opinion. It's how you express it.

Man or woman, that can rub the wrong way.

I still think you're cool, mind.

gemini13 said:

The problem Karla, is that people here value their opinion as dogma, and if you have an opposing point of view, they think you're attacking them personally. Hence, if you have your own opinion, you're a bitch. And yes, men don't get it to that extent.

Speaking of bitches.....

Imago said:

Nicer in what capacity? Should I just let people run over me roughshod, lie back and take shit?

I'm not what you consider an emotionally warm person.

pardonme4livin said:

I let you borrow one of my accounts

It was a perfect opportunity to get up inside me, metaphorically speaking.

gemini13 said:

Miss defensive

gemini13 said:

Now how could that be....just look at your playful avatar..... who's bodyless head is that anyways.....

CarrieMpls said:

Take me to your hairstylist.

gemini13 said:

well, that's fine if that's how you're comfortable carrying yourself, but you have to understand that people may respond less than favorably to that. and you can either decide "that's on them" and let it bounce off you, or you can engage defensively. i think when one has a lot of conflict in one's life, one possibility is that they're in a place where they are welcoming or wanting that kind of aggressive energy for whatever reason. there are ways to deal with adversity and maintain your dignity without having to resort to animosity or malice. you just have to WANT to go that route. do you?

Imago said:

Oh Dan.... you know I got nothin' but love for you my friend..... if I don't bust your balls once in a while though.... who will?

(line begins behind me folx....no pushing or shoving for crissakes!)

Imago said:

Get me some tips, Mr. Personality.

Hey Karla.

Thanks for sticking up for me.

I just say in another thread over in P&R how you defended my appearance.



I'm glad I'm on your good side.

pardonme4livin said:

That's from South Park, when the kids were all on Ritalin, and they saw Christina Aguilera monsters as a side effect.

gemini13 said:

Now I'm ugly.

It just never stops.

Imago said:

Is this a bad time for me to say your avatar sucks?
