Re: Sick of everyone

Hi @pip, @stressless and All,

Past hurts can be very difficult to talk about and lost relationships very painful. Focussing on the present and what is going well or, what I can change now often helps us to accept and move forward.

I agree @stressless that humour can help lighten the moment and diffuse tension. It can be tricky to know when is the best time to use it.

Go gently and keep posting 🙂

lol @pip try a different colour maybs as in you

Hello @stressless and @pip

You both have plenty of reason to be strong. I am in great company. I thought I might find my tribe on here.

Isnt it interesting how just having a little interaction with others can bring out different parts of our stories.

I learned more about you @pip, though it was obvious in your earlier posts that you had plenty of empathy and had been through a lot.

My brother loves the saying "what doesnt ki-ll us makes us stronger".

I prefer not to stick to one approach or mantra.

Glad to find other older wise souls ... can I lean my head on your shoulders too, if I need it?

Dear TAB. I have met someone, but taking it extremely s-l-o-w-l-y. Terrified of getting hurt again. Bit skeptical where men are concerned. I do have a very good friend (male - married) who has been helping me. His mate was the one who led me to believe he was serious. My friend is pretty angry about his mate and he has been 'there' a lot for me. New man is proving to be very genuine, but time will tell. As the song said 'One Day At A Time'.

..aahh ,, I was kidding???..perhaps look further afield re guys and their mates and married men, may help re sceptism dunno ..do you live in a small town or something?

Its hopeless, better off single. Some say once you're really comfe in your own skin, it comes naturally. Just be yourself and keep meeting people. I hide from men. Rather not say what I think of them. Yes I know, shouldn't generalise. Guess I'm more frightened what happens inside of me when they're around PTSD. Nice to see it working for others though.

yes, sounds so re single. and nice to hear from the Bible. think it also states that single women outside city walls should be stoned. actually heard of this firsthand from f friend who was in Turkey in the 80s. she was publicly stoned by a group of men.Her heritage is English. anyway she still seems to function despite visting ridiculous countries.. she was last there a year ago lol yes better off hiding maybe
