    We don’t have to be comically competitive. That’s almost as bad as spiritually competitive.

    Looking back at this now, I think I’m often in Analytical Alan mode; some of it useful, much of it not.

    Neurotic Norman- as the name suggests he blames himself for everything and always second guesses himself. If in an argument with someone, he will doubt himself first and defer to the other person. “he must be right”. Good friends of Polite Paul. He can spend hours after an event, beating himself up over his lack of competence.
    Polite Paul- this guy likes good manners to the extreme. He’ll get annoyed at the slightest thing a waiter or waitress doesn’t do. “did you see the way that waitress just slammed that plate on the table?” He is also good friends of Analytical Alan.
    Analytical Alan. This guy loves analysing and hates the present moment. He’ll spend hours trying to critique himself and others. Good friend of Ruminator Ron.
    Ruminator Ron. This guy loves brooding over past events, focussing on the negatives and blowing them out of all proportion. Then he replays events with him looking like an idiot and get more angry every time he replays it. This guy needs a counsellor asap. He is unlikeable.

    It is not such a bad thing coming back as a mosquito- i will get to finally get all my aggressiveness out and not be held accountable for it, oh, the havoc I will cause… and no heaven or hell for me, I am just a mosquito, but inside I will know it is me anita, oh, the fun I will have.

    good anita, my kind of humour…. 🙂
    Just don’t get swatted too soon by those whingeing human being who complain about all sorts of things including the weather and “mossies”.

    I guess I meant career goals.
    Strange for someone my age to be talking about career goals. I think the writing goal is BS.
    I need to find a way to make a modest living at a job I am competent in and with people I can stand. That has proved elusive for a number of years now.
    You are free to skip my posts anita. Give yourself a break.

    I’m tempted to start another character on here called Pious Pete.
    re incarnation or is that re reincarnation ? The thought of returning as a dog, cat,chicken, mosquito, is just too much. It drives me wacko 🙂

    I was a good runner a good athlete. Then I discovered I had an ability to run away from difficult situations. I’ve been running all my life, you could say, but just occasionally I stop and face my demons.

    social anxiety?
    Ha …been there have that…in spades…spent 3 years on their forums…
    fear of scrutiny, fear of being judged……that’s why I’m one of those types who thrive online because I don’t fit in the “real world”
