What is wrong with me? (page 4)

CYP - Thank you loads!

Anytime.

Finish your wine, take a swig for me. Put on some warm pj's. Go to bed.

When you wake up, everything will seem better and you will wonder what you were so down about. At least that is what usually happens to me.

Why Georgia - you are right about the projection thingy. I say nice things about people because I mean them and I want them to feel better about themselves so I should learn to receive nice comments the same way. But I have a dark side too and however much I like someone I always feel a bit suspicious of them - I rarely let all my guards down.

CYP - lately I live in my nightdress - pure egyptian cotton with pink and white stripes! But it is only 7pm so I won't be going to bed just now. I just finished that bottle of wine I opened in the early hours of this morning. Tasted better after being open for 17 hours! (btw I just realised your compliment to your wife was maybe rejected because you put "today" on the end - she might have thought 'well what the hell did I look like yesterday')

And daystar - what can i say - I am flattered like hell!

Secondly - I will never understand why your wife sought divinity amongst the JWs when she had it right there at home with you. I've never come across a more loving and determined and patient and understanding husband.

Well let's just say I have my moments. Also, the whole jw experience probably helped make me a better husband. I wasn't like this before. You know how it is. You don't know what you got 'till it's gone. Having a daughter didn't hurt either.

So don't go thinking to much of me, otherwise I will have to give you a very long list of women will tell you all sorts of awful stories of bad manners, poor taste, terrible timing, insensitivity, and chronic flatulence.

Now I am depressed!

Oh boy. Don't go describing to me what you are wearing. You have already got me in enough trouble when my wife gets out of the org, and reads all things I have been saying to you.

I wish I could but i feel compelled to stay up and drink this bottle of wine I opened - i'm not happy about it either.

O.K. sweetie Granny here now!!!! maybe the above is why you are depressed .I know folks who sometimes do get depressed when they drink. I think you have been house bound too long- Hope it wont be long before you are up & out ....

Oh Granny mouthy - I am rarely as delighted as when I elicit a response from you!

CYP - am glad you are remaining positive about your wife's future escape. I look forward to he day I get chance to chat to her too! I'm sure she won't object to harmless flirting, especially when she realises what a hard period of your life this has been for you and releases herself from the JW mentality with your help!

Hiya Crumpet !

I remember the sweet young lady you were (although revelations about mike bearing brothers is making me reconsider !)

The short chats we've had since getting back in touch, and reading your posts, have all confirmed to me what a beautifully rounded person you are.

There's nothing wrong with you, my friend!

Now cheer up, or I'll be forced to come down to see you and taunt you on my 'Wing.....! (Any excuse, I know!)

Bull! "The ride is the reason, the destination, an excuse!"

Just thought I would put in my 2 cents. Keep in mind pennies don't buy anything these days.

I use to have problems accepting compliments (at times still do). I even had an x that would remind me when he gave me a compliment that the appropriate response was "thank you".

With that said ... I had to come to love myself and sincerely see my beauty inside and out (including my 'weaknesses') before I let go of my suspicions of other's compliments and before I could truly let their compliments sink in when they said them. I feel this is even a bigger struggle at times in the female world with females who are considered as being attractive physically. I always viewed the people who complimented me as superficial or unsincere or like "what do u know". But now that I am in love with myself as well as try to love others this doesn't pose as much of a problem. I accept every part of me and don't judge it right or wrong it just is. So now I can sincerely agree with the compliments that I may get here and there. :-)

I don't know if any of that fits. But that's my 2 cents.

Big hugs *** I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Crumpet from your posts one can't escape the impression that you are a kind hearted, affectionate, and supportive person also given the very rough time the cult gave you by manipulating your family, you are not at all the bitter resentful person that could result from such an experience.

Sorry to here that you had such a dreadful accident I hope you get completely over it soon.

Bull i would love you to come down on your Wing! When i left I used to fantasise about turning up at eastwood hall after a meeting on the back of harley or a norton dressed head to toe in leather and seeing everyone! It would be fantastic to see you - much as I like LT - it was very much from afar and we used to play together a lot as kids. I'll always remember you showing me you had disco lights in your room when I was about 7 and you were 11 or 12 I think and thinking how cool you were.
