I suppose different people interpret posts differently. I suppose different people need different things. I suppose different people like different responses.

Some people want to review their lives and all they want is to speak uninterrupted, and receive a few words of comfort here-and-there.

Some people want to discuss issues in their lives and be angry at someone more safe than the people who they'd REALLY like to blast. They might interpret things as if the responses were meant in a more personal way, and exhibit more sensitivity to people who they feel don't understand. SOme people "pay more attention" to outsiders than they do to themselves.

Some people want instruction and direction. They don't need a lot of supportive statements, but are more interested in change. They pay attention to suggestions and understand their past behaviors. The information they receive is received more akin to a history lesson, in that they want to understand all the variables of behaviors and use that information to understand how to change desired behaviors.

No information I posted was meant to be personal. It was meant as information known about why people name call and possible ideas inducing change. I don't know anyone on this board, have no reason to judge anyone and simply offered information about the topic.

I remember times in my own life when friends said things to me which I thought were unsupportive and ROUGH. After awhile, I realized they were friends and were trying to help. After awhile, I realized they were right about everything they said, and I just wasn't ready to listen at the time.

Just remember, I was trying to help. Help arrives in different forms. SOme of it, we may not appreciate. Some of it, we may not appreciate at the moment. SOme of it, we may never appreciate. Since it appears to be upsetting, I will not return to this thread since I would not want to volunteer information which was not received in the light it was meant. I thought the original poster wanted information about anger, name-calling and how to alter that behavior. I know nothing about the original poster and therefore was describing typical thinking known about anger and name-calling. None of it was meant to judge; it was meant for self-thinking. My post required no answers.
