Chat
It's time for a little self pity, so if you're not into it, please stop reading now. I will no longer chat here. If you look for me, you'll see a busy sign when I'm here. It's come to my attention that I can't chat very well, so to keep yall from being upset or disappointed, I've decided not to try. (Told you it was self pity.) According to someone who should know I; give advice and opinions when they're not wanted; am disagreeable; stay on subjects too long; don't respect other's feelings; hog the conversation; and am not interested in other people's lives. Probably guilty on all counts, except interested in other people's lives. That's me! Sorry! Sooo, since I have so many problems chatting, I'll stay away. People will be happier that way.

dont sweat it! we all do that stuff!
Oh brother, other people need to get a life! Although i have never chatted with you, there may be a day that i would really like to.... and i do find you and your life interesting, as well as your opinions and views on life. Just because there\'s a few bad apples out there doesn\'t mean we have to throw away the barrel and forget the apple pie, is there? Hmmmm, i\'m sensing a need to chat with you.... lol. Take care, Mike. Deb :o)
I have always respected your opinions. I can\'t imagine who would say that to you. Yes, I have received some very harsh opinions, and got upset a few times, but all a part of life. Not everything is always going to be roses. I do admit right now is hard for me being sensitive with my sister and all, but really, I am kind of hurt by what you journaled about. To stop talking or chatting? You shouldn\'t have to feel that way. I can\'t believe it, some are leaving DS because of things, and this is suppose to be a support site. I log on when I can, just to hopefully get a few kind remarks. I am sorry for what you are going through, but you did touch me with that message you typed about working in a call center. I guess I am disappointed in you not chatting anymore. You helped me out a lot that day. Hopefully, I will remain your friend, and hopefully, you will know I do respect your opinion.
Oh come on! You make me sound like a rat of a friend! Yes everyone it was ME that said it! lol.. Mike ,you are the one that complained about someone..I just pointed out it isn\'t always the other guy. Mike knows I love him..he says stuff to me all the time..geesh Mike..why can you say stuff is wrong with me, but the minute I point out some things you need to be more aware of and work on TOO..you do this?!! Come on now..I am NOT the villian you paint me as. I don\'t care who knows I said it..but be fair and tell em all the stuff YOU have said to ME.Continue your chats, duh..just don\'t chat me if i offended you..at least I\'m honest with you and speak my mind..which I would THINK you would like for God\'s sake! You do it ALL the time..if you dish it out you also gotta be willing to take it..I am a REAL friend because I do that..I could have gone along with you and said oh ya that person is awful..but instead I told you the truth..that you do things TOO.Feel free to dump me if you want to..but don\'t insult me by making me a villian when you are always critizing me!! And to your friend that says\"get a life\"? I have a life..know the facts before you throw stones!
If I\'m a bad apple ..then I won\'t stick king me sound like a real jerk and not telling the WHOLE STORY!!
\"won\'t stick up for your friends anymore.thanks for making me sound like a real jerk by not telling the WHOLE STORY MIKE\" is what that was supposed to say
I don\'t \'chat\' because people often engage without thought and without \'thought\' you get something like what has happened here. I\'m a non-chatter and I\'m proud of it. Who needs the pain of chat - I\'ll take journals and (hugs) that allow thought over this any day.
((hugs)) and be gentle with yourself - welcome to the \'peaceful\' \'caring\' world of the non-chatter.

Mike and I have been close friends a very long time..this I thought was a private matter until I read all this...I am not gonna argue with you Mike or get into this childish spat here for all your friends to read...maybe it best if we just drop it..I promise to never critisize you again since this was my first time and I see how you reacted.I am sorry if you were upset, I will keep my opinions from now on to myself. I do want you to know however that i said what i did to help you out of love ,it was not intended to hurt you. You often critisize me ,so I really didn\'t think I was doing anything bad, I just thought it might help for you to understand why the woman does that in chats with you ,and maybe in the future you would take my advice and it would go better with her for you.If you do not want to chat now because i said that,that is your choice but maybe if you just don\'t chat with me anymore rather than everyone??It\'s up to you..think about it,ok?I do not want to argue this way with someone I am close to and care alot about.
Please let it be said that i have not meant any personal attack on anyone by saying that some should \"get a life\". It was not meant in any personal way to any person, it was just a general statement that can apply to a lot of people. No, i don\'t know the story, and it\'s none of my business, and i wasn\'t looking at any one specific. I\'m sorry if i\'ve offended anyone, that was certainly not my intention. Think i\'ll slink away now......
