zebrasan Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 In order to shed some light over the events of the last couple months I've come up with some translations that may or may not be helpful to others on LS. That and I was inspired by Sao2's post of "Ridiculous Thoughts" to read between the lines to see what was really there, not just what I wanted to be there. What our Exs say versus what they mean... I need space/Time to think/Need to find myself: I no longer find you attractive, but you provide me with comfort and stability, I'm going to keep you on the back burner until I find something better. I don't know: I do know the answer, but I'm not ready to say it out loud. It's not you, it's me: It is you, but I don't want to hurt your feelings with how I really feel about you. I'm confused: I'm not confused, I know the answer, I'm just not ready to follow through with it. I'm not happy: I'm not happy, but I imagine that there is someone else out there who will make me happy. We need a break: I want to break up but don't want to accept the responbility for the pain I'm going to cause you. I'm not sure what I want: I do know what I want, it's not you. I want you to read my mind and do the dirty work for me. Please add your own to this list. I'm always interested in hearing other people's interpretations.
