I just need to get this off my chest ...
I'm soo tired of seeing 2 different sides to people .. infront of some they will act all nice and sweet and innocent.. then infront of others they will rip u down just for having a different point of view ..they will call u names like stupid idiot etc .. and they will also threaten to kill themselves .. why is this?
Is it really the older you get the more like a child they become? or the older they get the more thick headed they get?
I pray that I don't become like this .. I don't want to put my kids/future grandkids/ even just people around me thru this !
But why is it that people are just such 2 face
why? .............. anyone??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I do have to say though, that today is one of those days when I feel very jeckyl and hyde myself. pms exploding all over the place.
the other day dh and I were in a large city, walking in a nice area, but there was this guy who was leering at us & leaning towards me, like he couldn't decide whether to take my purse or not.
my husband said later "yeah I shoulda told him "you don't want to mess with her -- take her purse and you have to take her down and then you get to keep her!" very funny.
So again I ask .. why is it that she seems and comes off like a nice little old lady here and in the other communities in DS if you don't agree with her she threatening to kill herself and she curses you out and calls you an idiot if you don't agree with her feelings.
AND MOMMYBEAR ..IF YOU THINK I'M SLAMMING .. WELL I'M SORRY THAT YOU FEEL THAT WAY BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I'M SLAMMING ANYONE. I'M SIMPLY ASKING .. WHY. AND IF WHY IS SLAMMING .. THEN I THINK WE ALL DO THE SLAMMING
But there wasn't any problem here in this forum until you dragged it in.
go and read and you'll understand
This does not apply just to alcoholics, it applies to anyone who does these things. "I am miserable so I want you to be miserable with me",'I am hurting so I want you to hurt too", this sort of behavior you have to learn how to handle because these types of people rarely change. If you are forced to live with one you have to adjust and above all learn to stand up for yourself and not let them control you or your moods. Give them a smile and say "how nice of you", show them they cannot get to you.
Please try to read this book. Remember God borned us all onto this earth as equals with all the same rights, but it is our own responsibility to stand up for our rights and protect them. It is your health this will affect in time if you let it and it is your responsibility to protect your own health and well-being, keep your self-image intact and in good order, above all else.
