You’ve had a bloody hard life but you survived.
You’ve learnt a lot and fortunately, you still have a heart.
You’re an empath. An excellent empath, who is doing a mighty job on here.
Maybe you should make your skill/talent available to a wider base than just TB.

OK to answer my own question…

humour occasionally but gee I’ve been in an unfunny mood lately. I can’t even laugh at my lack of humour. I’m humourless! 🙂

He sees too many cries for help on here which are only half the story. They make the author look like a pitiful victim which they are sometimes he admits but…..
Hey I must look like one of these people when I’ve cried for help. We all need sympathy, people to agree with us no matter what. We don’t really want to be challenged. We just want validation. Not specific advice either. Just to be listened to.
So I’m projecting. I’m fed up with myself in fact.. 🙂

So his evil was actually his shadow that needed expression. His real confidence coming out. Maybe there is a lesson there for all of us. Don’t be afraid of our apparent darker side coming out. It needs expression and may be our lifesaver……but that doesn’t mean you become a drug dealer… 🙂

Adam the Adult
I see less of him these days. He was everpresent in my 20s and 30’s. He got the job done. He made sure I got to work and persevered despite the odds often against him. He bought and helped pay a house and car off. Kind of heroic but he ignored Ruminator Ron and Analystical Alan so much so they ceased to exist. He denied there was any chaos in the room. He often said “Man up Jack” He was more interested in appearances but also pragmatic: the bills always paid on time.
He needs to come back so I can find and keep a job. But on different terms. he needs to lighten up and not be so tough on the other members. he needs to have a more democratic approach, instead of a macho “my way or the highway” approach.
