Do something interesting

Status
Not open for further replies.
Interesting? That's optimistic, given we're sat on the Internet on a bank holiday Friday night.
 
Don't put it like that....:X

I'm not having a drink for probably the first night in 9 months I need to keep positive.

Something interesting will definitely happen.
 
Surely not having a drink for the first time in 9 months is kinda interesting.. different, at least. Enjoy the excitement!

you could have been watching the snooker, Ronnie was fucking awesome. There's some Bill Bailey Wildlife thing recording too, that'll probably be watchable, then i just have the last few episodes of Sopranos to look forward to, before starting on Game Of Thrones. This planning for sobriety stuff is hard work, but is kind of paying off. 8(

Ohhhhhhhh, you're staying abstinent from alcohol??? Well done, you.
Please ignore my posts tonight then, Owen, because I don't want to trigger you.
Well done with your recovery.
In a way I understand because when I had a child, I could not drink / go out the way my friends still could... and they dumped me. So I can, in a STRANGE way relate.
So you're welcome to talk to me anytime, ok?!
But not tonight because I'd be a hypocrite and may trigger you...

Maybe it would be best for you to go to the recovery rooms n talk to them for awhile...

Oh, where were you a mod? I've a few "home truths" for you, but we'll keep those to PM, ok?!

All the best,

Evey

Lol, feel free to post you 'home truths' for me out in the open. I'm genuinely interested to hear what they are and I'm quite happy to have the discussion out in the open, I like to hear lots of peoples' points of view regarding me and my character because it helps me form a more rounded opinion of myself. Clearly you have something brewing that you feel the need to let go of so open fire.:) I would have loved our conversation the other day to be public, I think it could have been very beneficial for both of us.

I wouldn't be posting here if I felt it would be triggering.

Re: the home truths hurry them up if you want me to read them tonight, I've taken my evening diazepam and will be going sleepy soon.

Owen, you seem hell bent on trying to cause an argument with me. Why?
What have I done to you?
What's BDD?
You were a mod, right? Then you know full well that arguing on open-forum is not done.
I'll keep our discussions to PMs or not at all.
Believe it or not, despite your faults, I actually like you.
Night, Owen. I'm off to bed

Evey xxxx

EDIT; with the "triggering," I was being genuine and trying to show concern for you as I myself am having a drink. You really have the habit... ah f it... pm me, not doing this here....
 
Am I? I don't remember offering anything in the way of argumentative behaviour to you. Would you care to enlighten me? I have no interest in an argument, I visit a different much more challenging forum for that.

It was you that threw a tantrum and announced boldly that you were putting me on ignore for politely suggesting some of the reasons you may have been passed over for a mod position when you decided to send me an unsolicited PM complaining about staff members and how people newer to the forum than you had been chosen and felt unappreciated.

If you don't want to post your opinion in public that's absolutely fine, I see no reason as to why there shouldn't be open discourse on the board as long as everything remains polite though. If you want to PM that's fine too.

I for my part don't hold an opinion as to whether I 'like' or 'dislike' you because we don't know each other. For my mind I tend not to form emotive opinions about people I've never met and know nothing about because I base that sort of thing on empirical evidence built up over a period of time, but I guess everyone has their own way of working. Thankyou for deciding to like my despite my faults though, which are undeniable and many.
 
I tried being nice. Now you've left me with no other choice. Ive tried to get on with you. I've asked you to keep this to PM n you repeat our private PMs. I no longer trust you, you'll stay on ignore. Bye Owen. People who repeat stuff i say in private do not belong in my life. I was hoping that you n I would become friends too n resolve our differences. Not now as you've betrayed my trust.

Evey

PS: don't reply as you're now on ignore. You know I've goals. I asked you to keep this to PMs n you kept it on. Bye.
 
I think the notion you think you are going to be telling 'home truths' to someone you have exchanged all of five or six messages over the internet with is pretty cute Evey. I must say I'm highly disappointed not to get the opportunity to hear them.

I'm not sure how I've betrayed your trust, I don't remember agreeing to keep any secrets as to the discussion we had and the stuff you said to me without me having asked to hear it.

I would suggest that you need to grow up a little and stop throwing petty little tantrums and criticising members of the board to someone you have no form of trust base with in future, but you're definitely not reading this right......

If only you were able to divert some of this crystalline analytical ability to read people that allows you to tell them 'home truths' after exchanging so few messages on yourself then you might not end up running around the board getting in to silly little arguments with people and getting yourself wound up over nothing. If I'm perfectly honest though, I'm guessing it doesn't exist, otherwise you would be able to let a day go past without getting in a huff in some thread or other or feeling the need to put people on ignore whilst at the same time announcing it to the rest of the board.

My honest, heartfelt advice to you would be to stop worrying about other people so much and start worrying about yourself. You clearly have some issues, as so many of us that post here do, and my personal opinion is that for you gaining a higher degree of self-awareness would be really beneficial for your recovery. The beginning of me learning how to start dealing my personal problems began with me understanding just how little I knew about myself. I'm a long way away from where I want to be in terms of my personal development but finding out that I was totally clueless as to how I came across to other people was a big turning point for me and whilst I've had many a set back since then, things have at least been moving on a much more general positive trajectory. I have to constantly reassess my actions and find myself falling short of what I would like to be a lot of the time, but the process allows me to grow and move forward, through being able to take criticism from others and turning a critical (but caring) eye on myself and all my actions. My mistakes are my opportunities to grow and I am grateful for them.
