Humor.


Instead of addressing the issue directly, I make light of it, and try to get you to laugh, or get pissed off, whatever. It all works. And suddenly, your mind is off bullshit, 'cause you're too busy either laughing with or cursing at me.

Well it worked and thank you for making me laugh. Props to you. But I would rather have you make me laugh, then have me be pissed at you. I rather think you're a cool dude, then a total, arrogant son of a bitch.

I'm working on that one. And doing splendidly, as usual, BTW.

That depends on which personality is in control that day. Or moment. GAH!!!

Um, not technically true - we aren't a heavily moderated forum, but we are moderated. As someone who's taken offense to other people's posts in the past, I'd expect you to know this.

And come on, if you post a bunch of touchy-feely threads about nothing in particular, you HAVE to expect to take a little heat for it from the rest of us - I posted with about as much seriousness as I felt an open-ended question on the nature of guilt warrented on an internet discussion board.

you should be thrilled at our mostly-intelligent-and-serious responses! try asking such a question on a forum for Tractors And Overalls, or one for Big Pimp'n With The ODB.

Really? Is this question 'touchy-feely'? Really? You see, I don't look at it as being a 'touchy feely' type of question because, I could have easily asked, how you deal with anger, instead of guilt? But I guess, if guys in general look at any type of 'emotions' whether it be, happiness, anger, depression, love or guilt as 'touchy feely' - then who am I to say you're wrong?

But you see, that's where we learn from each other. This is a positive thing.

This is one of the many reasons why I at times, pose these questions because I like knowing how 'guys' think and interpret things. One of the many reasons why I get along great with guys and guys do treat me in being like "one of the guys' is because I understand how they 'tick'. This helps me understand how to deal with guys as well, in terms of their thinking, because its no secret, guys and girls do think differently.

Girls, think way too diverse on matters and being that girls tend to think with there emotions or heart, rather then their mind, as guys do, Iam interested how that all comes to be, thus, those are the true reasons why I ask these questions. I wish to understand, thus learn how you 'men' think and view things.

But I do thank you for your comments and in terms of being vague, I have to be. If I were to come out and truly post what was happening...... it would be so wrong and therefore, I am stand-offish in my posts, not always, because as you know, I have been VERY DIRECT, but ther are times I guard myself.

In closing, when you cut out all the jokes and the bullshit, deep down, a lot of you guys have some pretty interesting, intelligent and down right logical information to say. You may not all admit with one another, which is cool, but being the only female observer looking into your male dominated discussions, I have learned alot from you guys + plus, have adopted alot of the ways you guys view and think things. Which for me, is a positive....

Shhhhh, don't tell anyone I said that.

Your Majesty, I consider myself pretty in-touch with my emotions. As part of that, I don't discuss them on the internet. That goes for anger just as much as it does for guilt.

[DelfinoPie]

I hate feeling guilty about stuff....the way I usually deal with it is to clear my conscience. If it involves someone that I've hurt/affected in some way then I talk to them about it in a way that clears the air or straightens things out.

Otherwise I just ask myself, "In the grand scheme of things...does it really matter?" and usually I get my answer there.

I haven't felt guilty about anything in ages though, years most likely - I have no emotions, besides anger and satisfaction lol.
