Why am I so mean? 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. [Edited 7/12/07 7:15am] | |

You pretty much push people (not saying that is bad necessarily). But you will say the shit that other people pnly dare to think. I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies Whats it all worth only the heart can measure It's not whats in the mirror but what's left inside | |

You see that I wrote "I can't take it"? That was a mistake, or was it? | |

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". And be among her cloudy trophies hung. | |

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. | |

Karla, have you considered being nicer! | |

Ex-Moderator | 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. |

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. | |

gemini13 said: I'm not what you consider an emotionally warm person. 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? | |

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. I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure

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