Asiablue,

OK. So here's the misunderstanding.

You said in your last post,

". . if you read what i did say, i said that the extreme few who are on a constant drama rollercoaster and who put others thru it with them need help to and that i feel sorry for people who try to get their needs met that way because . . . "

But I looked back at your initial post. You didn't say "the extreme few," You referred to "people like that" and "people who wish this" (the desire to be special). That sounds to me like an overall negative classification of everybody with the wish to be special to their t.

Because your post sounded like a negataive categorization of all people who have this wish, I responded angrily and pointed out the wrongness of classifying everybody with that wish as being helpless, manipulative, or passive agressively get needs met.

I know you said you had sympathy for such ones. I didn't say that you weren't allowed to feel the way you did. I also didn't imply that you should be forced to deal with people like that.

My only point was that there shouldn't be an overall negative classification of people who struggle with this issue. That's it.

Had you used the words "the extreme few," or I knew that's what you meant, I would not have responded in the way I did. But all I had to go on were the words you used.

This isn't worth fighting about. You made your point, and I made mine. No blame either way. Just a miscommunication.
