Its so true, I know I can be callous with peeps and its usally cos ive some shit going on in my head and I dont think...I dont think as much as I should about others I care about. If peeps get upset my callousness it is about me and not them. I need to be carefull with the peeps I care about and when the same things happens back to me, give them the benefit of the doubt and move on. Thanks Irish, you always makeme think.

Irish, I have the same struggle as LVT. I've known for many years in my head that what you say is true, but in my heart . . . well that's another matter.

However, I'll definitely try your mantra, "How important is this to me, is it worth losing my peace of mind [and I'll add sobriety] over this?" Hurt is my #1 biggest AL trigger.

Irish, Right On! Bend back, or forward, there will always be that one cannot agree. My phylosophy, I had to learn to live? Love, squash spite. Hurt no one, live by my own philosophy, be happy for that.Long as I move positively, hurt no one, promote a smile, I am doing my best. What they think of me and say bad of me may sting, it is proven true to me now. When I walk right, for no question to be asked, respect falls over me like Niagara falls. Think right, do your best and the best bounces back. Always you will meet a thorn, bypass, I am getting good at it now! Believe in yourself!

I hope no one minds that I bumped this thread. I recently felt hurt by people here (probably not intentional) and someone on the outside. I know everthing said in this thread is true intellectually, but the little girl side of my brain doesn't understand why people act mean. I think Ruby has it right--it is when our self esteem is so low that these little hurts are like stabs. So I stayed away for a while, doing a little lurking. I can't do this alone. I need all of you and MWO. I can't just invalidate the hurt, it is a real part of me, but perhaps I can give it a little hug and put it in a corner until I learn to deal with it maturely.

Hurt Feelings

it is not meant that we should shoulder our problems alone,We are in the company of others by design,and the growth that each of us needs to experience is tied closely to both the sufferings and the celebrations that come to us all.many calls for help are made here each day and some of us will be ready to respond.All of us need to remember that one of our greatest gifts is offering comfort to our stumbling friends........the healthy,the strong individual,is the one who asks for help when he/she needs it whether they have got an abscess on there knee or there soul.
