Serious convo is kept for friends needing a shoulder or advice.
I just love "verbal jousting" so to speak and fully appreciate when a person can give it right back to me.
Im not as happy as I used to be, life kicked my butt.. theres a little sad spot now, Im ok.. just changed. 🙂
Also, if you hurt one of my kids in any way you'll go down in a screaming heap.. Im not above physical violence when it comes to those I love..
This was actually difficult to write as it shows a deeper side to me.. something I keep from most people 😬
You are amazing. 💙1 -
Much like my swimming pool, I am deep and shallow.
I am kind but angry.
I love to laugh and make others laugh but deal with depression.
Aside from relationships, things come easily for me, so I have never really pushed myself and reached my potential.
I love grandeur (i.e. nature) and simplicity.
Early morning coffee or nighttime drink... both with a good book. 👌
I am a pretty open book if asked.. For example, this post does not make me feel fear or vulnerable at all.8 -

Well spoken Jo! I know you have tried to joust with me through the years. Keep trying one day you may just win. 😏
Yes, lots of people don’t like to accept it but there are times and situations where violence does solve problems. 🤗

When someone vague posts I always think they’re yelling at me even if I’ve never seen them before7

Reminds me of my childhood: early reader, articulate, disorganized, never had to do homework, barely had to study, then when *kitten* got hard lacked the discipline to do the work. I’ve spent years unlearning it.FeastRepeat wrote: »Much like my swimming pool, I am deep and shallow.

i mean
i know people who are competitive spirits in life and like, they thrive on it and it makes them better people and it’s impressive
i am more cooperative gamer type personality so the competition thing just stresses me out so i only compete with past and future me

I understand this. I don’t game but I operate much the same way. Me in CrossFit was hilarious and collaborative. I believe I brought something good there.ermengarde22 wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »ButterMeMuffinz wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »My outward response to jealousy is to disengage

But for me (I’m only reflecting on my own motives & behaviors) this method has sometimes kept me from putting in my best effort for fear of offending others. I’m not sure I can or should change but it’s something I’m thinking about.

That is incredibly mature and rational. The last time I expressed jealousy over a person I was neither 😂. Thankfully it has been over 20 years since I have expressed anything like thatButterMeMuffinz wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »ButterMeMuffinz wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »My outward response to jealousy is to disengage

For me it depends on who it is and whether or not I believe that I have a right to feel that way about the situation.
If I think that I don't, then it's disengage time, but if I think that I do, then I either try and push through it if I think it's irrational or I have to mention it to the person

Ditto. High school valedictorian, perfect grades, no effort. First semester of college I treated class the same way, until I got that mid-term report card: 1.8 GPA, including failing my favorite class. Total wake up call. (Luckily this was mid-term...by end of term I'd pulled that 1.8 to 3.6 and never looked back.)4 -
When I started college I was a severely depressed 17-year-old and I chose to sleep on park benches in 30° weather rather than go to class. Luckily I started getting my *kitten* together by moving out when I was 18, living in my own apartment, and earning my own money. Different paths but still good endings 😁TwitchyMagee wrote: »Reminds me of my childhood: early reader, articulate, disorganized, never had to do homework, barely had to study, then when *kitten* got hard lacked the discipline to do the work.
