Neuroplasticity, eh? You are right about that! Old dogs can indeed learn new things! I've done it, and i'll bet most people have, at one time in their lives?
My new goal, is to be more patient. I've struggled with this for most of my life. So, I expect it to be hard. Little steps, I guess, would be my key to success.
Next time I have to wait in a line, I will practice more patience a little at a time, till its all I do every time. I know it won't kill me to try, so try I will.
Also, I want to be more outgoing. I have tried to be, but I still need to work on it. I need to take the lead more often, and initiate more contact.
I don't want to overload my little brain, so, I think that's enough to worry about for now? Little steps. One foot in front of the other, and all that!!!
Thanks Dr. Leslie, another great topic of discussion!
You take care!!!

As for your being needy, put yourself out there, have some fun. Do those things you always wanted to, but couldn't befor. Make this time, all about you. Try loving living alone, for awhile. If you need to talk all the time, call your girlfriends.
You don't really need all that attention from a man, if you did, you would have low self esteem. Maybe that's what you have? Do you feel depressed? You can get past this, I know you can!!!
Good luck, take care!!!

Talk to them, like Dr. Becker-Phelps said. There is another way, ask your son to ask his cousin?
Hope this helps, and was what you were looking for?
Good luck!!!

Right now, she is under some delusion that, this old boyfriend wants her back. She was on the phone with him, while I sat here and had to listen to her slurring. She has had no contact with this guy for three years, and she tells him she loves him. And, that she wants him to come get her, and set up house together. Wow, she really is out there! I feel sorry for her, but it is up to her to want help. She most deffinately does not want help, she likes drinking. Her daughter, one she had lost to the state for her drinking befor, is now supposed to come live with her in a couple of weeks. I don't think the state would like it if they knew she was drinking again???
Sorry, I made that a lot longer than I intended.

It sounds like you are being much more critical than you need to be? Everyone makes mistakes. How do you react to someone who is being defensive? Do you also get defensive? Most of us do, so its not just you. Don't other people sometimes interrupt you? Sure they do, its just normal, even tho you are not supposed to. And who hasn't misinterpreted something someone has said??? Or done???
You see Roh, you are just normal, you are just like the rest of us!!! Oh sure, we all strive to be better, and some even manage to do just that. Most of us will go through our lives being just like we are. And there is nothing wrong with that, right?
Peace!!!

And, you are also jeapordizing another marriage by cheating with her husband! Doesn't that matter to you, at all??? WOW!!!View Thread

I don't think you are being clingy at all! You are normal. We all want some form of communication with them, just so that we know they are ok. Just limit yourself, try to make it a twice a month thing, and go from there.
I agree with Sluggo, you should if you can, buy a bigger bed, so that excuse goes out the window. She may not change where they stay, but that may be her husband saying where they stay?
I wish you all the luck!!!

Every time she says he hit her, I never have seen any marks, no damage what so ever. I think she just wants the attention? She is an extreme alcoholic. He does smoke pot once in a while, but he only has a couple of beers when we B.B.Q., that's it. I suppose you could call her a "Drama Queen"? She seems to thrive on drama?
I guess they will marry, I wish they would just go their separate ways, and leave me out!!!
Take care!

I think most of us do, in fact, learn from our mistakes. Those that don't, are destined to repeat those same mistakes in the future. That is not YOU!!! You do learn from mistakes, even I can see that!!! I gleened that from most of your responses to others here, and myself.
You don't need to beat yourself up. Relax, let those mistakes waft through your mind, learn the lesson there, then let it waft on out into the ether!!!
Roh, you are one of the smartest people I know, let it go. Please stop torturing yourself, please, its not healthy. Who said you need to change your behavior based on the past? You told me that, the past is just that, your past! Take your own advice. If no one likes you for who you are today, it is their loss!!!
I wish you Peace!!!
