i didnt feel the earth move...truly grateful for that and those times that i feel my world rocking and stars lighting up my mind...truly grateful for that too.

people need to share their thoughts ...talking to oneself might be a bit creepy? any violent reactions mingle friends?

studies have proben people that talk to themselves are more violent.

Unfortunately I can't always say what I want. Sometimes it wouldn't be constructive to do so. That quandary is one of the reasons I developed anxiety. My mind comes into conflict with my emotions, and I've spent too long bottling up some of those emotions. So they are desperate for release.

For instance, rudeness and disrespect towards others is a trigger for my anxiety. I want to say something, but often I'm too upset to convey my message without stooping to the same level. Other times, when I do make the attempt, people overreact even though I managed to keep my cool and said nothing disrespectful. It happens more often than not these days, which leads me to wonder why I bother. I don't need that kind of aggravation.

Not sure what you are going for here. Usually when I hear or read someone saying they "didn't feel the earth move," it's slang either for not enjoying sex, or for not feeling any affinity or hope for future fun with a certain other person. I would not be "grateful" for such a result myself, hence my confusion. Grateful for all experiences good and not so good? Okay, I can go for that.

Listening right now, as chance would have it, to my favorite Alanis Morissette song, Thankyou.

I too am unsure what it is this topic is trying to invoke?

I think that one benefit of emotional maturity is that I can say what I think without emotional discharge. I'm no longer the type to go off on someone in an emotional outburst because I am in more control of my feelings and that results in me being able to work out what I say, before I say it.

Its been my experience that people, in general, are seriously stressed out. Sometimes its almost like standing in a mine field of trip wires. Sometimes you don't even have to SAY anything.

I thought I heard a strange noise in my transmission in my truck one evening. I slowed down and crept down the street trying to listen for that noise. A woman and her husband came running down the road. They began banging on my truck full of rage.
I quietly sat (because I did stop moving) and listened to them scream at me about how my truck was too loud and I shouldn't be creeping past their house (I was on a public road). My first reaction was to pull out my metal pry bar and lay it on the side of his head. Then, I just said, "I am sorry for you" and drove away. As I drove away, the couple were still screaming at me. Ten years ago I would be in jail or prison over that.

People are teetering on the edge of insanity.

i don't have a problem saying what i want... but only when i'm talking to non libs...

That's not true...
Studies have proven the People who talk to themselves have a high degree of intelligence!!


That's telling them, Rob!

Studies do not ever prove anything.. as science does not prove anything in the first place.

Say what I feel..ok..hmmm.. I feel a slight breeze..hmmmm... I feel the heat of my socks against my feet....hmmmm... I feel my underwear wedging up my.crack.. that is such an uncomfortable feeling..lol

Oops it's say what you want..
Well I guess I said what I wanted to say I guess ..lol

sceptical, how close were you to the earthquake? I hope everyone and you are okay.

[noticing no response yet...]

If she didn't feel it, I'm guessing she was out of town. Her profile say she's from Manila, and the epicenter was perhaps 50 miles southwest of Manila. That means it still should have registered close to 5.0 in the main city.

Talking to yourself isn't too bad per se, it's when you start to hear answers you need to worry.

.. hey wait a minute!! I hear answers all the time..ohhhh..ohhh!!..
I get it !..that's not a good thing is it??..

But come on!!.. don't we all talk to ourselves ... just a little bit..hmmm

Okay I just came back in to check to make sure I said what I wanted to.. in my last post.
Ummm.yup.. looks about right..lol

Does that mean everyone on here is more violent?
Are you not talking to yourself while you're typing or reading?

Well hopefully she'll let us know soon. Thanks actionlynx.
