At least, with regards to how I feel

(1) don’t know how to express their discomfort – had been true before
(2) don’t care enough about our relationship to express their discomfort – not true and see #1.
(3) despise me – definitely not true
(4) despise themselves – possibly true before but not now.
(5) don’t/won’t/can’t own their “stuff.” – working on it

“When a relationship is important to those involved, they look for reasons to stay. They look for the good things shared and hope for the good things that may be shared as the relationship progresses.”

I’d like to think you really mean this.

I’m very happy to read this post! It sheds some light on how screwed up our society really is…how we live in such a world of fake and selfish people. Through your writings (and I’ve read many), I can see what a wonderfully sincere person that you are. I hope that you’ll continue to write and that your writings will allow other people to open their eyes and find the beauty that is there in front of them.

You might be interested (might not) in my latest blog post. Perhaps it would shed some light on things. Perhaps not. I don’t know but I thought I’d offer it up anyway.

Thank you for clarifying. I’ve realized (in more ways than one)…the error of my judgments.

Suffice it to say that I’m working on my own stuff.

Best wishes.

Dear “a friend”…

(1) You’ve never been “around” me. As far as I know, we have not been closer than 500 or so miles to each other.

(2) I’ve never said that your caring was “a show.” I don’t think that it was/is.

(3) I totally respect your life and family and am glad that you consider it and them a priority. I wouldn’t want it any other way.

(4) You don’t have to “make” me understand that you care. I’m sure you do.

(5) I’ll have to think about the “get over yourself” thing. Seriously.

Finally, regardless of whether or not you think that this post was written only “about you,” it wasn’t.

Thank you for your feedback.

I am uncomfortable around you. My caring wasn’t a show. I just have a life I need to live and kids to raise and a marriage to tend to instead of trying to make you understand I do care.

Get over yourself. Seriously.

ADMIN NOTE: In the interest of perpetuating an open forum–providing for free expression–I have decided to post all “non-spam” comments written in response to my expressed observations here. There is additional context related to some comments that will remain unavailable to Broke Down Spirit readers (some content won’t make much sense out of context). It is important to me that those who read these pages know that I do not ever write about–or to–individuals when I share my thoughts and feelings. When I have something to say on a personal level, I address that to individuals…personally.

Thanks…Broken Too

…now, back to the comment by “a friend”…

Really? Is that what you think?

You asked for my thoughts. I gave them. So what if I prefaced them with a disclaimer so I wouldn’t hurt you. You are an online friend I’ve known for 4 months. How on earth would I know you would or would not be hurt.

I would love to rectify things, but you ARE offended by how I do things. This is what comes between our friendship.

I shut you out because you aren’t really willing to listen to ME and what I FEEL I need to say.

You are willing to take anything I say and use it against me. And then write about me as if you knew this was going to happen all along. Because you know better than anyone else. And you are the only one in the world willing to put yourself out there. Uh-huh.

This is the most ludicrous line of bullshit I have ever read.
