I Am Angry Today Because . . .

All the good men are taken. It's not just a saying. It's actually very true.

That's because there were hardly any to begin with and less are left every year instead of more because society is rolling downhill.

Wow - that is pretty pessimistic

I know many good men; sure most are in relationships or are married, but I really do not think society is rolling downhill - sorry to hear that you feel this way ((((CorSCapnSkip))))

What is your definition of 'a good man'? Handsome? Rich?Gentle? Rough? Caring?

 

[Blake]

All the gentle women are taken.

With your user name of "Mr. Cranky" I'm surprised that you do not 'own' this thread!

Hmmph!

I have been a member of a Facebook craft group for years. It is a Quilt As You Go group. Months ago I posted a complaint about the amount of SPAM. Some members got mad at me saying there WAS NO SPAM. Well, they didn't see it because people like me reported it and the administrators blocked it. But I was seeing sometimes ten in a row on my news feed.

It slowed down, but the last few weeks there has been A LOT again. And several other people are also complaining about it. (Funny, I haven't been on fb as much, so nobody reporting it to admin means everybody suffers. Lol.) Anyway, yesterday I posted a suggestion to the administrators of a few things admins of other groups do that lowers the amount of spammers signing up.

And they kicked me out if the group.

Putzes!

The group probably wasn;t worth staying with anyway.

Really upset because I spent 46 years trying to prove my life wasn't a total waste of time and now certain people won't speak to me unless I give in and pretend to believe it was a total waste and every good thing I tried accomplish in life, do for myself, and think about myself was wrong. In the interests of survival I am forced to do this, and I am very nervous because I've never put on a good act and can only go so far with not speaking to certain people. I am going on yet another drug and maybe into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy if the only place within driving distance will take me.

I'm very happy you are trying something new, Cori! Prayers that it will work. You have such a kind heart. skimom2 sent me this once, it's so true. Be kind to yourself.

The group probably wasn;t worth staying with anyway.

It was a good group of people. A lot of really helpful posts. And some files with "how to" instructions that I never saved. I can find some by googling, but theirs were some of the best I've seen.

And yes, I did make a point of letting them know how good those files were. And yes, I did thank the admin for all the work they do.

But when fb groups start swinging the ban-hammer it's often the ending of the group.

My stepdad is being a complete a-hole; My grandparents are supposed to be visiting today but my mom might have to stay here at the house while I have lunch with them so my stepdad doesn't lock us out of the house.

(((you and your mom need a safer place)))

PM me if you want some specific suggestions.

Take care!

And hey, happy late birthday!

So, I found another group. It also has helpful links, and helpful people.

This group does the exact things I suggested to the admins of the other group to lower the amount of SPAM and guess what! So far I have not seen any SPAM.

My life is a near-constant series of either perpetual anger, or extreme avoidance of practically everyone and everything which might cause upset and lead to anger. I have a simmering resentment over many aspects of life, but one HUGE reason I am angry is the assumption by certain family members who have cherished an idea since my infancy, and never got any other concept into their minds without a ton of proof, that every bad situation must be ENTIRELY my fault, because I "set people off" by doing everything wrong (of course, EVERYONE ELSE in the ENTIRE WORLD is sane, reasonable, normal, and rational--yeah...right--) and if I am angry over a situation in which some jerk treated me with an utter lack of fairness and respect, it must "prove" I am in the wrong because I am angry. (Like they wouldn't be mad if some bully pushed them around like that. Again, yeah...right.) I think, sometimes weeks, months, and years later, of a million things I could have done, but never any which would have made the situation better, so I am absolutely helpless! I either do the wrong thing, or nothing, which doesn't fix anything, or I go full-on psycho and end up in trouble for ripping the throat out of some jerk who was absolutely begging for it. You CAN'T win--you are doomed no matter what you do, or don't. This is why I am continually discouraged. For 2¢ I would trade my life for that of a terminally ill child who actually wants to live and may make some good of it.

I'm sure that you are a caring and kindhearted person. It sucks that jerks take advantage of your niceness and make you angry. Life is unfair sometimes but I hope you will feel better soon. I'm sending positive vibes your way.

I'm only angry if someone makes me angry. If I get real angry I can go off like a rocket, shouting and screaming. I more controlled now. I have a reponsibility when I come on here to set an example. I only get angry when I see the disposessed, the 'underdog', the person(s) who haven't got a voice. I've been asked to run for government at a state level.

I made that comment over four months ago - I apologize.

Since then I feel I have gotten to know you better and you seem like a very nice, genuine person who perhaps has had a few hard knocks and some struggles but you're doing your best to get past that.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods

Yes, I've had a hard life. If it wasn't for SKMB, I might be dead now. I only joined because the fellow recommended it as a way to talk to people. As a postive result of coming on here is that I've become more absorbed in reading King's books. It is funny, when you want to escape from reality, sometimes a book is the only place there is.
