Are You Ever Overly Sensitive To Poster Replies - Page 3

I ignore super negative and I don't intentionally read any of their posts, but some things are just over the top.

No, about the time I turned 40 I stopped giving or allowing anyone any power over me. Having my feelings hurt or being to sensitive is giving away my power to someone else.

Thanks, ECBG! You're welcome to it. I just made it up at that very moment because that's how it came to mind as I was thinking about this subject.

@chickenbutt, You are always lovely and I enjoy reading your calmness in the midst of a tempest!

I will admit that I have to restrain myself and not reply when something someone says rubs me the wrong way. It is not so much if it is directed at me, but women as a whole. Some people on this board are merciless when it comes to jug ins women with ambition and who are successful. They will defend to the death a stupid outfit that a host wears, but tear apart a woman with a healthy ego. I have never heard a man say " who does he think he is". Women say it all of the time here, or words to that affect. Rant over.

Thanks, E! I sincerely appreciate that. I try to not only just be me (good grief, I don't think I could even handle trying to be anybody else! hehe), but try to keep calm. Anxiety has actually become a big problem for me of late so as much as I can be calm, that's better.

Plus, I'm a 'thinker'...Always thinking and figuring things out. I'm the one who wants to fix everything. Sometimes I run into problems here because I might say something that is perceived as negative critique when, truly and honestly, it's just me trying to help!

Anyhoo, happy happy day!

@NickNack, You are always kind in everyone of your posts that I have seen!

Thank you @ECBG.

@chickenbutt Having read your posts, I would certainly not dispute your statement. That said, though, how did such a thinker who figures things out come up with "chickenbutt" for a nic name? LOL! I'd have expected....er....something else.

Hi Pearley! Thanks for the laugh. Well, here's what I 'thought' -

I thought that if it made one person laugh, my job was done.

Actually, some 12 years ago I had my initial ID here and one day it stopped working so it was either a glitch or I said something that ticked somebody off. It was so long ago that I don't even remember what it was!

Then I tried a new one and found out that it was much like somebody else's ID, when somebody pointed it out to me. So I came up with 'chickenbutt'. I've had this one for over 10 years now. Wow, time flies when you're gettin' old!

LOL @chickenbutt I had that glitch happen to me here too, when Pearlee had to become Pearley because I couldn't sign on w/out changing my nic. I'm glad I didn't go any farther changing it than a variation of Pearlee. LOL!
