Call it what you will... but a good psychological defense mechanism is helpful in trying to escape some of the complex psychological insanity that attacks us today. By failing to reject unacceptable feelings, needs, or thoughts, we would have to accept realities that do not conform to our wishes. Umm....So is denial a totally bad thing?

No wonder you are so vulnerable, you love too much. I know, I'm there, too... And I don't mean you are NEEDY for love; you are just so kind, warm-hearted, and optimistic you automatically assume others see the world the way you do until proven false. And then you are heart-hurt one more time... Note I didn't say broken... that's been done; you are careful of that, but even Super-Glue(TM) won't fix certain hurts... I pray for you, when I pray, as I do many others, that you find the perfect imperfect 'One' you deserve... for what you've given and are capable of giving to the right someone with a match Heaven will cheer for, I pray you get it...

I'm itching to Bitch on that one. Haha! Well, we all get to live our lives as we think and I like to think the best. Most people are thinking the same. People are going to hurt you, be kind and think the best anyway - Somebody impressive said something like that? It's good advice. Did you even bother to read the bloody article?! Go read it! :) PS - Thank God you didn't write this in portuguese - takes too long for me to translate! Thanks for the kind words. :)

It's just a matter of degree, right? You could go mad at some of the things we have to witness in life. I think it's one of the reason I don't watch a lot of TV. Is it selfish to turn away from it? I don't think so. I applaud the people that go out there and get in your face to make things change for the better(as long as it's not violent). I don't have it in me to do that. After all, I'm a "Naif" on her way to Egypt!! ;) Posted: Nov 24, 07 7:00pmAh, you little intelligent naif... No wonder you are so vulnerable, you love too much. I know, I'm there, too... And I ... I DID read it, then I wrote my comment(s)... 'k? Naif: showing unaffected simplicity and lack of guile, believing outward appearances ; "this [person] with wide friendly eyes so eager to believe appearances", is a person willing to be vulnerable with the right person, and (unfortunately) the other person isn't the 'One'... (I've gotten that outside this thread - cheater that I am)....  May you always have the Angel of Naifdom on your shoulder! Posted: Nov 24, 07 7:47pmAh, you little intelligent naif...

And yes, Lan Sr, Português teria sido ainda melhor. (Thank you Google.) |  ADVERTISEMENT  |
