Who else's ignore list am I on?

For me, I don't have the willpower to not look. If I see a new post by a person who I know I will get upset if I read their post, I can't stop myself from clicking on it. Maybe this time will be different. Like Lucy and Charlie Brown and the football. But it's always the same. My mother tricked me this way too. So to protect myself, I ignore people. It's my weakness, not theirs. We already know I can't help them. They have not responded positively to my previous posts to them. They pretty much think I'm a douche, and have let me know it. So basically, if somebody has you on ignore, there's a good chance the feeling is mutual. No harm, no foul. Not everybody is gonna like you. No biggie.

Hope this may be helpful??

's all.....

Some of the PC Memebers that replied on there have some good suggestions.... I know it can be terribly hard not to take things personal but just remind yourself that if you are on someone's ignore list, they too have issues and perhaps they are using it for a self care tool for themselves.

I don't like to ignore people any ways.... Just in general--- I am gonna need practice with people that bother me for the real world any who and hey-- everyone is valid to have their opinion and thoughts, some times I even learn from them.

I can't even post on the You know you are borderline when... cont. because I'm on her ignore list. It really hurts to see that message when trying to post, yeah. I really don't see how that's fair.

Hmmm. If at first you don't succeed, try try again? I don't know. Just a thought.

What do you mean?

Yeah, I pretty much make everyone feel worse. Really and truly hate myself.

Maybe saying something opposite of this would help you not to hate yourself so much, and would help to make others feel better when talking to you. I know being positive isn't easy when you don't feel positive, but think of how you feel when someone says something bad about you: you feel badly. Well... you are doing the same thing to yourself. Negative self-talk is really powerful.

Okay. I'm done.

Yes. Wow.

I gotta say - at the risk of being put on an ignore list! - it seems as if a games-type thread like "you know you are borderline when...." really should be open to everyone. That is NOT fair, it is in no wise a private type thread, and to take the responsibility of restarting it when you know you have people on your ignore list? Seems inappropriate to say the least.

I agree!

Hello there, I don't know you but I on this forum since start of the month, so firstly hi there, nice to meet you.
How are you feeling about things now?
I think a lot of what the other posters said is very supportive. I hope you feel ok.

At least you said how you feel. That is something in itself.

Let's allow for the possibility that there was a mistake made instead of making the person who posted the thread feel badly. I defer back to my original encouragement that nevergoodenough should, perhaps, try to post to the thread again.

I'm just saying.
