What other people think of you is none of your business

How can you deny a forum member in need?

Only after two stiff Shots of the Glenfiddich, Annie. I find it so,trying dealing with personality disorders.....lol. Screw the analysis, Ralphy can analyse himself by looking in the mirror. You and I can analyse the Glenfiddich!

Ralphy, you can't handle the goodies I can provide. Also, I have been denying men's needs for years. Annie, come join me on the floor, let' s get pished, and ogle the guy on the bottle!
 
Start that memoir now and send me the the material for editing as you go along. Could I see chapter one by the end of the week?
 
Shal, I don't want to intimidate you with my extraordinary credentials as they might cause you writer's block. Am, anyone abandons the homeland is a furriner, period...
 
Ralphy, I doubt you have sufficient credentials to prove you are alive. However, this comedy act is almost ready to hit the road. I think we could be very successful playing the geriatric circuit, don't you?

It would be nice to be instantly liked, yet some people are not going to like what they see. I can live with that. I am me and can only live my own life, not another's. My family loves me and that is what means the most to me.
 
If their dislike doesn’t impact me or they’re not someone I care about, then no, their dislike doesn’t bother me.

But I’ve known of (and worked with) people who are extreme "people pleasers”. They want everyone to like them – all the time - and if not, they need to know why. Or they’ll go to others to try to get help as to why so-and-so doesn’t like them and what should they do etc.,…waah…waah…waah. That gets annoying. :rolleyes:
 
Some people are more sensitive than others. That is not a character flaw. If more people showed compassion toward those who are different from themselves, I would have far fewer clients. Not everyone has a tough outer shell, and that is ok. There is room for us all.

No, there is not! Only the tough will survive! Slash! Burn! Lamentations of the women!

OUCH ... I got a splinter ... :hurt:
 
"Well it's alright now...I've learned my lesson well..that you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself."

That paraphrased line from "Garden Party" pretty much expresses how I feel...great song too :)
 
I have never cared what people thought of me, even as a kid. If people liked me, fine, if not that is fine too. Me being me is the most important thing where I am concerned. I have never wanted to follow any trends, or people, I have always done my own thing. I don't like socialising apart from with my children and grandchildren. I don't need close friends.

My mother was always worried about what people were thinking, which drove us all crazy, including my father!:mad:
 
This thread got exciting towards the end,shalimar,I agree with what you said,you have to be ok alone annd with youurrself before anyone else, I think ralphy just wants to see if his defibrelatoor works. No,it's none of my business what others think,just as long as they keep it to themselves.shhalimar,denying a man is ok,denying youurself is not. (Is that too forward for this forum?) Lol

Oh I would swap with you in a heartbeat BC...absolutely would love to have always had the mindset, it must be so calming not to give a care about what other people think of you ...as long of course that you're not deliberately causing anyone upset..which I'm sure you're not. My mother was the same as yours and I've inherited a lot of that.. I'm definitely too thin skinned for this crazy world...
