"It is annoying to have reflected back to me what I have not said. " quote Teacake

If you are referring to my post, I was just talking about things I didn't care for myself. I also thought about things you talked about experiencing and what I see of such things taking place and what they mean.

What makes me angry is the abundance of people who insist on telling others how to feel, instead of just listening to how others feel. There is no shortage of people who utter or act as, "Oh, I need to be all about me, and not about you".

It is very disheartening to be in the presence of someone who has all kinds of degrees in child psychology and so self important and "its all about how important they are too" because they carry that essence about them. Yet, to watch them with a child and see that what they "really" know is "how to bark orders". Then when that doesn't work, all I do is the "basics" of stopping and actually asking the child about "what they want to be", then I have no problem "encouraging" that child to learn or "listen" to me. It literally astounds me that I am considered very gifted for that.

What astounded me in that neighborhood I described is how hardly anyone "cared" about how others felt. It was such a small little neighborhood yet, divorces, and a young 14 year old boy hung himself in the basement of that pretty little perfect home, and a young mother of twins committed suicide right behind me.
