Just checking in.

Just checking in.

I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Re: Just checking in.

Sure. It's good she contacted you @TAB. Go expecting nothing. Enjoy company as it is, then go your own way. Leave them talking about how grounded you sound or something? They sound judge 'y'...let em! 😉

Re: Just checking in.

will just have to smile and gloss over things,haha do you know them? @Former-Member they are extremely judgemental, but they have gone there way and I have gone mine, well years ago .. yeah am overthinking it now, been in same situation before, guess. let them shout themselves in the foot if anyone does. Will just try to smile and be social(ish) ..they deliberately avoided me last xmas, went early without me knowing. Gawd this is getting a life of its own, best not to think about it. Hope you are doing okay.anyway will try and look presentable, act normal etc, am already judged anyway so nothing to be gained ..or lost ..well coulda got new clothes, wish the dodgy touchup job hadnt come off car, took the gloss off it a bit oh well they cant be impressed anyway

Re: Just checking in.

I think I've come to view my own family differently of late @TAB.
The European line in my family places strong ideals, judgement.
I've never challenged it, didn't know to. But of late I have had to look at it, to realise how ' I am' what makes me different in thought, actions etc.
How I am not my roots but my own person.
It's interesting to see another side of the picture.
Kind of releasing for me.
It's hard to feel the odd one out @TAB.
Think not this. Just keep pushing boundaries, you challenge them. Hence the response you get.
People with strong views do not take kindly to having their feathers ruffled.
The car, really ? If they judge such small matters, it says something right?
Maybe you get confused their thought, with your way of life, and allow judgement to seep in, confusing your picture?
Dunno ...but I try and say things as support.
Does one ever really know another anyway?!!
Lol...I must be tired heh!!!
