Step Talk

I don't know what's going on, nor have read much on here lately, because I am going through my own rough patch... but I wanted to say, I'm sorry.

Hang in there.

I must have missed whatever it was that made you feel bad, but I hope you don't let the comments of others stop you from sharing. It's a "take it or leave it" deal here. We invite comments when we post, but we're totally free to use what we can and file 13 the rest. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they all stink. Take what you can use, leave the rest. If you feel personally attacked by a specific person, ignore them or change your login, but let anyone run you off.

That is what my mom said to me when I got into this whole step thing. Sometimes people will say things thoughtlessly or maybe even mean well but it isn't seen that way, and people don't always agree with our points of view either.

I am not sure what happened, but I agree with Georgia. don't let anyone run you off.

We have all been reamed by one person or another. Personally, when it happens to me, I sit here and laugh. What's their worth to me when all they want is to be tacky? Not a damn thing, that's what. Why should it be? Stay, blog, and know that you have people that value your posts and advice. Nevermind the "others".

~THE EXERCISE THAT REALLY CHANGES YOUR LIFE IS WALKING DOWN THE AISLE~

However I am sorry to see you go. I almost let some really bad posts really run me off but I decided to let them roll off my back. Sometimes in a public forum that happens. I try to ignore the bad ones and the personal attacks.

Just know we are still here if you need us!!!

losingmymind, ironically to your name, your comments seem so lucid, sane and wise. It's too bad you are letting someone's comment make you feel you can't speak here.

people should feel free to express themselves in a venue where they feel safe and will go unjudged. if you were judged, i am sorry to hear that. but consider this a great exercise on how to deal with stepping. same skills, just in a different light. life is always a learning experience and people are people. they come in different disguises with different masks, but no matter where you go or who you talk to, you will eventually realize that you are running into the same person over and over. better to learn how to deal with them now than later and save yourself alot of tears and heartache. i hope things get better for you on and off, this site.

Hey, I have no idea what your blog said but I can imagine some insensitive person criticized your reality about your situation. I had the same thing happen to me. I wrote whatever I felt in my 'blog' and a person who has no idea what really goes on in my life, called me MEAN.

My opinion is tell people 'up there's'. It's your life, if you feel like venting, which what this site is for, do so. Anyone who judges you negatively is an idiot. I mean, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Hell I have to deal with the psychotic narcissistic bitch of a BM on a regular basis and dammit I don't care what anyone thinks about my hatred or animosity towards her and all she's done and will do. I say walk a mile in your shoes and only then will they understand.

If you leave, and stop posting, whoever it is who criticized you or made you feel bad wins. And both you and I don't want that do we?

Best bet? Post something REALLY controversial, have them freak out, grab a cocktail and watch the drama. I'm going to do that just to test the waters.

sometimes the tone of a post may not be accurate or what the writer intended..although I am not sure what happened-
I love your blogs and appreciate all opinions - that is why I joined to express myself and to hopefully have people help me see another side I might not be able to.
it is like any type of advice take what applies to you and dump the rest!!
PM me if I can ever be of help!

don't go. I've been lurking in the shadows myself, so I don't really know the full story, but I have to say that I really thought Georgia said it so well about the opinions being like assholes....she nailed it and I don't think I've laughed that hard in months because I've never heard it put so well.

Your opinions, thoughts and such are important to this site. Please don't go....
