I agree. But, I respect others who think differently, and who are convinced that venting does the soul good. I am experrimenting to see if their way of thinking "works" on not.

I understand how you might be feeling and why you are doing this, but you need to draw a line at some point. It is pure selfishness within that makes one post a thread like this.


Now your getting into the spirit of this thread.

Why do you desire people talking about YOU? The reason you wish for this to be negative is because a negative thread will allow for discussion more than a positive, therefore more talking about yourself. People will only think up more idea's to dislike you as opposed to forgetting and moving on. Therefore you are only stirring up the crud, not "dissipating" it. :P


That is a conclusion I tend to come to as well, but I am open-minded enought to see whether it works otherwise for other people. If you don't like me being open in this way to other ways of thinking, then good, this thread is all about things people don't like about me. ;-)

Besides, my mere presence in certain thread tends to "stir up the crud" for some, even when the "crud" is entirely off-topic. In fact, it was just such an event that prompted this thread--so as to provide a place where the "crud" would be on-topic.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-


Well enjoy then, because it is natural of humans to do so. I will be intruiged to see how long this thread becomes. I am not bothered by what you call your "open mindedness". Fell free. I will say however, there is very little open mindedness here.

:P

You're the first to more overtly infer that I have mental/emotional problems. Bravo!

So, given what you have said in the last two post, I am a very selfish nut-case.

It will be hard to beat that for negativity. Do you feel better now?

Thanks, -Wade Englund-


There is nothing to feel good about. You mustered up the feeling to produce the thought and the thought procceded the action. It never existed until what ever post I was replying to was read by myself. This is not getting prior feelings out. I do not think you have problems. It was just a thought at that time. I feel I understand what you are doing, I just don't see the point of it.

:P

Ah, yes...insinuation of a conspiracy angle. What better for a thread like this? It allows for the imagination to run wild ascribing all sort of nefarious motives to me. I love it!!

Thanks, -Wade Englund-


It is an odd thread. The understanding behind it is not odd, but it is odd to bring it out. I was thinking there must be a reason for you to bring it out. I lack understanding of youself. Maybe you are just an open and upfront person. To see who is on your side is not a bad thing. I did not mean a conspiracy, I just wanted to know what your reasons for producing such a thread were. But do twist my words as much as you like, it's fun. :P

P.S. I don't know about anyone else, but this form of "venting" has proven to be chicken soup for my soul. Perhaps I need to re-think whether "recovery" can come from such. ;-)


Us venting about you is 'healing' or 'chicken soup' for your soul? I don't get it.

Lame. If you're going to go the smell route you have to mention fecal matter. To paraphrase some decent smelly insults from Anchorman:

Wade smells like a turd covered in burnt hair.

Wade smells like a used diaper filled with Indian food.



Argh, SICK!!!

Me neither. If he thinks he'd make a good "Lightning Rod of Hate" he's mistaken.

Of course it's chicken soup to wade's soul. He can come here and read us expressing our mean, mean, thoughts about him, hence reinforcing his belief that the real problem with the exmormon is not the church, but in the malformed psychological make-up of the exmormon. It's just the latest twist on "why people leave the church"....

It's just Wade being Wade. What he needs is a good woman. Might be too late, though.

Chicken soup is a modern day symbol of healing/ old wives tale.

It is supposed to heal people.
I think he means, this stuff is as the chicken soup for his soul. This thread is how he is attempting to heal himself. I just don't see it working. But good luck to him on that one.

That is why, when people are bunged up with flu, they eat chicken soup. My mum personally swears by hot sweet lemonade.


I like the analogy by the way. I think it is very good.

Actually - it's clear to me that Wade is simply an 'Insult-a-holic'. I feel bad - were not helping him by feeding his addiction.
In fact, I must admit that I have suffered from this in the past - which makes my part in this all the more inexcusable. I should know better really.

Why - at one point - if I didn't get enough insults from my friends, or family in a given day - I'd end up going out on the street and annoying random people. I'd push them around. Harass them. Stab them with a stick. I even kicked this one poor bloke in the shins. Anything to get a rise. A bit of banter.
...true, I got a few bruises in the process. But I didn't even feel them.

For an insult-a-holic, there is no such thing as 'just one 'quick' insult'.
And as bad as I ever was, it looks like Wade is in a far worse place right now.
He's probably at the point where he hires somebody to come round in the morning to wake him up with an entire set of 'Yo Mamma' jokes. He probably needs that just to get out of bed at this point...

I mean, I can't say it's 'gone' for me. Sometimes, I get tempted. Really tempted. But Wade, I'm here to tell ya that there IS hope.


But we can't help you Wade. You have to help yourself man. There is help available. There's probably an IA group quite nearby you...

OK - yes - it's embarrassing. You'd have to stand up and say 'Hi - I'm Wade. And I'm an Insult-a-holic. It's been X months since my last goaded insult' etc. etc.
You should probably think about talking through what's happened in this thread. Get it 'all out in the open'. Don't worry - the people there won't judge you - they've been were you are, and they'll help you through.

Trust me on that.


I think it's certainly the wisest course of action for you...
...although - saying that, it could just be me...
