[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why. I'm not insecure, though I've been accused of that on here when I've made a contentious comment. I'm genuinely happy - despite the everyday annoyances that we all have, obviously - with my marriage, my career, my kids, my financials, my educational/intellectual background and my appearance. So why do I do it? I think it may be because I'm such a people-pleaser in real life that I relish the opportunity to get out some latent opinions anonymously; ie, I can say things that aren't "PC" (though none of my comments are racist/classist/etc - that's not my bag - just snarky for the most part).[/quote] Look up Freud, defense mechanism, displacement. You might not be insecure,whiich implies lack of confidence about yourself or your life, but you really hate some part ofyour life and are not able to admit it or talk about it with anyone including your spouse. You were taught not to be a complainer so you keep it inside. The truth is that you wish you could leave your job, your DH, your life, and not have everyone be shockedand horrified because your lifeseemed so perfect and they had no idea you hated it so much. [/quote] Uh, you're totally off. I really feel lucky in every listed aspect of my life. I miss my parents, who died young. That's the one area I feel is lacking though I have great in-laws.[/quote] OK then when you were young, you were a bit awkward, timid, excluded, scapegoated, bullied. You were not the popular cheerleader type in school but a bit geeky. However you were smart and persistent and have managed to do well in life. Still, you harbor some pain from your childhood, because you have never had a chance to tell those bullies to get a life. So now you hang out on DCUM and bully other people so that you get your anger out. But the target of your anger should be directed towards those people who mistreated you in your past childhood, young adulthood life. If this rings true at all, then go find those people on Facebook and get your anger out there. I used to find DCUM helpful but it's people like you who have reduced it to a mindless source of entertainment that brings in trolls from all over and a good income to Jeff. [/quote] Did you read the previous comment where I said I'd never been bullied :) can't think of anyone I harbor ill will towards - no room for that in my life. and no one would ever describe me as timid or awkward, now or then. I'm not a bully on here, either - that word is imprecise. [/quote]
