Loving Who You Are

[JohnR77]

That was rather rude.

My first impulse was to think at you did. But,having the advantage of a large family I see that different personality types will approach and phrase things differently, even though all have the best of intentions. Some phrase things sensitively, others are blunt with the truth ( or as they perceive the truth to be. We all are limited in what we see.) Each approach can rub the other person the wrong way. Each sees their own approach as best. And from their perspective it is.

Perhaps he meant
( i am not wanting to speak for him or her but only to explain different approaches)
“I have seen others share their deepest thoughts online only to have others post the most purposefully mean replies. I care about you. I don’t want to see you hurt this way. Be careful. You may want to consider not sharing your personal life online and make yourself vulnerable this way. Please consider going to someone who is trained to help you. My sister is a therapist. I think she could help you… etc , etc.”

As for my own comments.
I haven’t witnessed anyone being purposefully rude on this forum. Although to be fair sometimes my own comments were misinterpreted to be rude on some occasions.
Sorry, I didn’t mean them to be.

So, I think this forum is a great place to share and ask for help.
Pray for wisdom as to what you share.

Pelagia,

I hope you will grow more confident in your memories and gain skill in downsizing the significance attached to the opinion of certain people that have been influential.

I’ve been praying (Our Fathers) that this will happen unseen and unthought about, while you’re thinking about something completely different.

What is meant by suffering is of many kinds and I hope you will respect yourself for handling those you’ve had, as well as you have done, even though others weren’t respecting it.

Best wishes.
