Ok, yes I have a temper, but I am trying to learn to be honest
I need to tell you all something. My last blog although true, was written in anger. I wrote some things that would have been better said a different way. But if there is one thing I am to a fault is loyal to a friend. I support Nancy and will support her to the end. She has taught me to be honest, sometimes brutally so. But I was always a mealy mouthed people pleaser before, I was more concerned about having everyone like me than I was for being concerned about myself and what I knew to be right. This led to alot of problems and me eating to numb the pain. I was so desperate to be liked I would do anything to fit in, be it drugs, drinking whatever I could hide behind and not show the real me. I felt the real me inside was a monster.
Well I don’t feel that way now. I have opinions and they matter. I care about people, and I am not perfect, and I am not afraid to let you see I am not perfect. I do not willfully hurt anyone, but I will stand up for what I beleive is right, and when I see a wrong, I will say something. This does not however give me the right to attack, and that is where I was wrong, I should have cooled off first. I do not take back what I meant to do, which was support my friend and vent my feelings on the matter. But I should have left it at that. All I can do is try to do better.
I promise I will be honest, but you may not always like what you hear. But if you don’t like what you hear, I think we should just go on, and not feel like we have to attack the person, because again, these are our blogs, our journals and no one should feel afraid to come on here and say what ever they need to.
No, I do not support diet aids of any kind, but you know that. If I see a blog going on about how great they are, I will not comment. But if you want and ask for my opinion, I wil give it. Does not mean I do not love you as a person.
I hope we can get past all this and remember why we are here. I do love all of you very much.
i am thankful that i have a friend like you, and a supporter who will tell me when im full of shit.
thank you for being there.
I already sent a reply to your note. Again, thank you!
That is all I wanted and I wanted to get up and dance when I read it…
“and not feel like we have to attack the person, because again, these are our blogs, our journals and no one should feel afraid to come on here and say what ever they need to.”
Yeah!!
Sending great big hugs to you…
WOW WHAT DID I MISS??????????
Honesty is the best policy…what needs to be remembered is how that honesty comes across. Sometimes when people are being brutally honest, they are getting more satisfaction out of the brutality than the honesty…so always remember there is more than one way to say something.
We are all learning here, which is part of the charm on buddyslim. We all make mistakes. I am proud of you Kama for all the changes you have made in your life!!! (:
