So I had this dream last night and I'm jw.
I'm at my school and there's like a party or an open house or something going on because there is a lot of people and they're all having a good time. So I'm with my group of friends and I see this girl that I really like over across the room and she's with her friends. So I know that she is there, but I don't know if she knows that I'm there.
So then the enviornment just like, changes to the place where I have my track meets, which also happens to be the place where I met her. Now we're both on friendly terms so talking to her wouldn't be a big deal, but for some reason it is. So now instead of across the room, she's WAY scross the track (maybe like 150m) and we're still with our group of friends.
So now I really want to talk to her, it's like a huge urge to go start a conversation, but I can't. For some reason, I can't go over and start talking to her or anything. It's like I'm waiting for her friends to leave, but I'm not. And then I abruptly wake up.
So now some RL info. I've known this girl for a little under a year and we talk a decent amount about track and college (she's in college and I'm a senior in H.S. - her track coach is recruiting me) and for a while I was absolutely in LOVE with this girl, but now I'm not. I still have some feelings that carried over from before (we kind of stopped talking during the summer because we just went our seperate ways, but then we started talking again in the Fall). And last night, before I went t bed, I told my best friend and myself that I would let her go and basically let our relationship go whereever the wind blows it. Granted this is like the 5th time I;'ve said this, but I actually meant it this time (seriously, no matter how much it bugs me to think about her, I'm letting her go).
So what do you guys say?
[QUOTE="cpo335"][QUOTE="SolidSnake35"] I don't think the point is that he needs to do anything about it but he's still well within his right to feel aggrieved if he wants to.SolidSnake35You're creating arguements oout of thin air. No one said he didn't have a right to feel bad, we're saying that he shouldn't beceause it's not a big deal. There's a differance between what you can (has ther right...) and should (not feel bad...) do. Telling people not to feel bad when they feel bad hasn't helped anyone ever. If you accept it as his right to feel bad then you're supposed to make him feel better not tell him he shouldn't (effectively, can't) feel bad about this. I am accepting his right to feel better, but that doesn't mean I have to console him or offer him any solace.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day everybody! Let us celebrate and bask in the glory of he who did our nation a great justice!
But seriously, do you think we give him a little too much credit? I mean, how many students can recite the "I have a dream speech" but cannot name any, or few, of the Amendments or anything relating to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, or Declaration of Independence?
[QUOTE="cpo335"][QUOTE="SolidSnake35"] Who, what, when, where? I have a best friend that I complain to and vice versa. Just because most people don't care doesn't mean he should lose all sensitivity.SolidSnake35What the hell are you even talking about. When did I say he should lose all sensitivity? He should grow thicker skin. You're also explicitly stating that no one cares so he should suck it up. Whilst I wouldn't argue that a thicker skin is a bad thing to aim for, it's only a temporary reprieve. If he later wants to whine about it, as he has, I don't think there's anything terribly wrong with that. I'd only say that a forum isn't the best place. I'm simply stating that statements like that shouldn't bother him because the world is filled with jerks and people who are worse than his gym teacher. The only way to deal with them is to brush them off and not let them hold you back.
