No, not everyone puts themselves on a pedestal just because they get a compliment or two. And I certainly don't start looking for "better" just because someone I'm seeing is verbally into me.

 

It sounds like you have low self esteem and a VERY fragile ego.

 

I do not mean "a compliment or two" I mean being told every day that you are awesome and you are really important.

 

And yes, you would be correct.

 

I have an extremely fragile ego. I see a therapist every week because my anxiety gets me to the point of crying to sleep.

 

I don't mean to sound harsh, but low self-esteem isn't exactly a title I like to have throw around. Especially if it's true.

 

I guess I can't run from the truth though.

 

Or the fact my ex just found a new boyfriend.

 

thanks for the input as always though.

Seconded a million times over.

 

Oh and I'm in a really bad mood, so I feel like being honest.

 

You piss me off.

 

But that doesn't mean anything about you. You simply make me upset about things. Specifically your beliefs and the way you argue them just get me into a tizzy sometimes. Specifically the way you seem to create arguments.

 

I just thought I should let you know. This, again, has nothing against you, it's just I don't find it easy to carry a conversation with you.

 

This site is, after all, meant to build people up and help people move on. Not show people how their thoughts and beliefs are all wrong.

 

At least in my experience, which admittedly isn't much, negativity never can overshadow the power of positivity.

 

EDIT: Okay, after cooling off a bit, I just want to say that I believe you are actually a really great person, I have read some of your other posts where you build up people and help them through their problems. I guess I just took offense to you taking a position against me and after finding out the particularly saddening news that I have received, I just don't think I'm surprised by how I reacted.

 

Take it easy.
