Has it occurred to anyone else that we all have little trolls running around inside of our heads, constantly trying to tell us the same kind of crap the the trolls of the DS boards do? Minimizing our positive achievements? Calling us ugly names? Trying to keep us down in any way possible.

Depression is nothing but a Troll. Who do I report this troll to to get him banned?

Great metaphor, Alphonsus. Right now I have trolls on top of my head and the back of my neck trying to put the whammy on all the stuff I need to get done today. Stinkin' things.

I love giving the trolls voice...but ultimately to be responsible for ourselves...we make the choice to act in our best interest....and that is how we learn about ourselves...

I have a little troll in my mine rite now.... only it ain't depressed! It's making me act mischievous today!

: ))

Naw, Testy. That ain't no troll. That's an imp!. My brain is a fertile garden for those. Imps like catnip. Planing to plant a bunch. ;)

self-directed trolls? yep guilty here. little buggers need to shaddup

deleted_user 04/29/2008

Alphonsus, that's a brilliant analogy. (((HUGS))).

deleted_user 04/29/2008

Nah it's all me : ( gutted,I'd love to blame trolls but am an arsehole on my own just fine xxx

Alphonsus 04/29/2008

Susy, your troll is obviously running the show right now. Don't suppose you could make him do a little dance for us? ;)

Big warm hugs.

*wabbit shimmies past the screen wearing a hula skirt* wink wink xx

deleted_user 04/29/2008

hmmm, well my head trolls have taken a pretty good beating in recent months, and so they only appear rarely. But when they do, wow they say awful, horrid things.

Alphonsus 04/29/2008

Woohoo. A hulawabbit! Shake that tale girl!

You can do those little Hawaiian sign language things with your hands AND your ears. Are you that coordinated?

Alphonsus 04/29/2008

Keep pounding the crap out of the Daisylou. Either that or laugh them off the stage. Ridiculous silly creatures they are. They don't like being noticed for what they really are.

deleted_user 04/29/2008

That is amazing insight. Loved it. Good for you. Bad self talk is like a troll in our heads. I say banish him/her back under their rock or bridge. metaphorically speaking that is . Love Mishka.
