DO YOU EVER...

[Duchess]

...bite your tongue? That's a figure of speech. Do you ever keep your mouth shut when you're dying to say something but have second thoughts about actually expressing it?

[BigMark]

All the time, especially when you are really sarcastic.

Feed me and it makes it go away every time.

[Duchess]

Actually, Mark, don't ever feel like you have to hold back. I don't know what concerns you but you don't have to hold back when it comes to me.

[BigMark]

I meant me being sarcastic and didn't know you mean here.

[Duchess]

I meant me being sarcastic and didn't know you mean here.

I'm so confused.

I meant anywhere, not Mock in particular, just in life in general.

99 % of the time I have "filter".

But that other 1 % of the time when I see "RED", look out I'm deplorable!

I have kept my mouth shut most of my life. No more.

All the damn time.

Both here at Mock and in life.

That damn inner voice that says "That's lame or stupid." or "Its not going to go the way you think it is."

*bites tongue* Or "you're going to end up disappointing or offending Duchess, HoTD or Love Child." Damn emotions! Why do I care what other people think of me so much? Sometimes I think I was better off when I didn't care about being loved or respected.

[BigMark]

Part of it is this is all public record, anything said in jest or satire could be used against you in this pc and hypocrite world we live in.

When people genuinely like you they won't stop liking you because you give 'em some lip or say something inappropriate at times. They will like you even when you're lame & stupid, your words, not mine. I genuinely like you, Clang. Let 'er rip.

I time my battles sometimes its better to wait until the right moment. but that's maybe 30% of the time. I get the elbow in the rib cage quite often.

I am more myself online than anywhere else. With my friends I can also say what I want. It is with my family that I wish I wasn't afraid to speak up, but that is slowly changing.

Clang it is because of our relationship that I feel we can share things with each other. If I didn't care then I wouldn't share with you what is on my mind.

I agree with Duchess, just be yourself and don't hold back. If I don't like it or someone doesn't like it, that is their problem.

Yeah I know. I just sometimes feel/fear that I'm going to say something stupid and/or lame someday that crosses the line and hurts and offends you that no amount of guilt, regret or sorries will fix. You can't fix burnt bridges.

I got nothing. I'm moistly underpants pooped out of insults.

I announced on FB that I was thinking about going back to college and a family member called me and said that wasn't a good idea and told me I should just get a job and not worry about school and don't get myself into debt.
I stewed about it at first but then I finally called them back and told them how it made me feel.
I felt better after I did that, but honestly I fucking can't even believe I accepted that person's call. I took them off FB, I don't need the kind of negativity that person spews every time I want to do something for myself.
But I still feel like crap and I feel like a little of my spirit was killed. I shouldn't give a person so much power. I don't know why I let it rent space in my head. I played Alanis Morrisette and that made me feel better. But then it came back to my mind tonight just now. : (

[Clang McFly]

Yeah, my Mom and my oldest brother used to always tell what I should do and so for many years I became an indecisive people pleaser. Its ironic that now my older brother is saying I need to be more aggressive, decisive and independent and my Dad is now asking me all the time "What should we do?" and I'm like "I don't know, I was never allowed to make my own decisions before without guilt and shame if my decision ended in failure or guilt for making my own decision."

Its gotten better in my social life and work life though as people ask me for advice on what they should do about a title application and I've gotten more confident in my answers.

You darling girl, I don't know why people do things like that. They should just keep their mouths shut if they can't be positive & supportive. Any time one wants to better themselves it is a positive thing and it deserves to be nurtured. You go and you be the best Love Child you can be because you deserve that. This is your life and you're worthy.

') You're such a troll, but a charming one. I don't get disappointed or offended easily and I already know you're not an asshole (well, no more than most of us -- probably a little less so).

I appreciate that, I really do. Thank you Duchess. As I was reading your message I was recalling the tons of other people on my post that were happy for me. I should concentrate on these sort of messages and not the negativity of one.
