    perry and jhc
    so I have a question or two then.
    What are your expectations in regards to the opposite sex?
    How would you feel talking to a female version of yourself?
    Don’t you realise that women are insecure and human as well?

    I’ll try and cut back at least so I am less addicted.
    You do seem very assertive now and would be more effective in the classroom as a teacher, I imagine.
    I think my problem is I lack motivation to go back. It feels like a step backwards in a way. “been there done that” kind of feeling.

    It’s likely that women will gravitate toward you if you’re confident and self-secure

    So that’s why women didn’t gravitate towards me. 🙂

    when I was 24, I thought I was old. “oh dear, pretty soon, I’ll be too old to find a partner”. I was wrong. I found one, but not until 30. So I wouldn’t be panicking just yet.
    Oh and re you v status. Be proud of your uniqueness. There’s plenty of guys with no self respect who have lost theirs.

    Anita
    let me guess
    your mother was Christian?
    Or some bible basher has scarred you for life? Turned you off the higher power concept?
    But congratulations. You seem fully recovered to me. Very mature.
    Hope you can now start to enjoy life…finally…

    I just think you might be putting this new guy on a pedestal and you’re worried it is your last chance to get a decent partner.
    Might be better to lower your expectations and ease the pressure you put on yourself.

    your replies always have that heart with them as well. A heart that is big, despite all the wounds you’ve received both physical and emotional. I can see how much you’ve helped a lot of people here on TB already.

    Don’t you think your nephew and sister have moved on from this?
    Time for you to as well?

    I’m not sure how much we can help on this forum with guilt.
    For my issues of guilt, I resort to a higher power….Buddhism can only go so far I believe…
    the worse we feel the more we need to pray…in my opinion

    I was going to start a thread on guilt but there are a few things I find even hard to admit to myself. it is not that I don’t trust people here, it is just that I don’t think I would feel good about it by the end.
    All I can say is Anita, I’m sorry for your sister but I feel sorrier for you. You carry such a burden for such a long time. You deserve to give yourself a break . Absolutely no judgement my end. “he who cast the first stone…”.
    Hope that helps.
    Isn’t it amazing how much crap we all carry with us…

    Thanks Mike
    I liken your suggestion to my teaching days.
    I never mastered it myself, but colleagues said “act angry and grumpy with students in the first 2 months,after that you can relax”.

    So what you mean is, use fake anger, pretend you are angry in minor issues before they become full-blown problems and you have to use real anger?(then it is too late and you are out of control)
    Shame we have to do this but I take your point and it is a very good one.
    I need to practice my temper tantrum, (spit the dummy) performance in the mirror. 🙂

    My inner self is still crap.

    Forget about any guys. any relationships for a while. Work on your inner self. get into something like Buddhism/Meditation. it’s basically free.

    I dont have enough money to see professional help.

    We don’t charge much here. It wouldn’t be more than like 250 bucks for your first 20 minute session with me on Skype.
    My name’s Llama Jack by the way.
