I understand people wanting to be helpful when they care about someone elses success, but I think we need to take time to consider how our "help" is goin to be received. When it crosses the line from helpful and supportive to hurtful- whether it was intended or not, silence is best.the strawberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03457524496945410791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363483289900650311.post-68212580319014180812010-12-13T10:58:29.382-05:002010-12-13T10:58:29.382-05:00Thank Ellen, I do try to make myself clear because...Thank Ellen, I do try to make myself clear because I am well aware of how the internet can make people and words and motivations sometimes difficult to interpret :)FatAngryBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11111350848902455866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363483289900650311.post-73048867661236586242010-12-12T21:23:48.908-05:002010-12-12T21:23:48.908-05:00It's too bad that thinks like this have to be ...It's too bad that thinks like this have to be said, but I'm like you...sometimes it just needs to be put 'out there' so there is complete and utter clarification and zero misunderstanding on things.

For as long as I remember, I have cried at every little comment that rubbed me the wrong way. When I got to jr. high I learned it was better to be a prick back, instead of crying every time. So now that I'm online, I think I look at everything with a negative outlook.<br /><br />Gah, I wish I could change that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363483289900650311.post-33255373630874510152010-12-12T12:01:07.660-05:002010-12-12T12:01:07.660-05:00OK and now for the good question...
How do I blog...OK and now for the good question...<br /><br />How do I blog about anything personal and try to keep my emotions in check?<br /><br />Well, that's a tough one.<br /><br />Truly.<br /><br />I realize that putting my thoughts and feelings out here mean that I could get comments or replies that I don't care for or that may well be hurtful.<br /><br />I try to find the spirit within which the comments or remarks are intended, and if they are meant to be helpful and out of a place of kindness, love and genuine concern, I try to respond in kind and moderate my response and literary "tone" for internet consumption.<br /><br />Does that make sense?<br /><br />Whereas, when it is meant in a hurtful way or is indictative of a manner that a person always uses - I equate it to rudeness, a superiority complex, or just someone being (or trying to be) a bully and in that circumstance - I don't care what someone like that thinks because that is not the sort of person/blog/energy that I want around me.<br /><br />If the words come from someone I cannot respect, then why should those words have meaning to me?<br /><br />I find it easier to make that separation or distinction when it comes to the internet and find it far more difficult when dealing with people in "the real world" - but does that help explain it?FatAngryBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11111350848902455866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363483289900650311.post-70970950382732475642010-12-12T11:39:08.921-05:002010-12-12T11:39:08.921-05:00Sometimes tone is very difficult to convey via the...Sometimes tone is very difficult to convey via the internet - I think that factors in to communications sometimes too.<br /><br />And good stuff re: eye pic and non-blindness!<br /><br />Are you going to post the pic in your blog?FatAngryBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11111350848902455866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363483289900650311.post-62794590287567724732010-12-12T11:39:04.110-05:002010-12-12T11:39:04.110-05:00....
I must admit, I don't know what to say........ <br /><br />I must admit, I don't know what to say.<br /><br />I know I get angry and angsty, very easily. I guess I just can't get over someone telling me I'm not doing enough in my weight loss journey, when they don't even know me. <br /><br />I know I'm blogging, and it's for all the world to see, but how can a blogger write something personal and not take offense when some one comments against them? It's like a previous commenter said, there is an emotional attachment once you start blogging about your feelings, and your emotions can take control of what you do. <br /><br />Since you asked a question on my blog, I think I am going to return the favor. :)<br />How do you blog about something personal (such as weight loss or religion), and try to keep your emotions in check?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363483289900650311.post-65434871482045315932010-12-12T11:19:09.829-05:002010-12-12T11:19:09.829-05:00Such a great post. *hugs*

I'm also concerned about people and struggle with knowing how to communicate that. This is a whole new ballgame for me. I've read blogs for years but because I never commented or had one of my own, I had very little emotional involvement. Now that's all changed and I feel somewhat ambivalent about it all. I've done some stupid things that I now regret and said a few things that I thought were funny but weren't (they weren't hateful or anything like that, just not very well-timed.) Anyway, I'll shut-up. <br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />PS got a photo of my eye. No blindness ;-)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661912528152366517noreply@blogger.com
