Am I a Mental Bitch?

Trilby · 01-09-2009, 09:09 AM

I need to know. What do you honestly think. I am feeling like I am a lousy human being just because...well, never mind. Am I mental? Am I the crazy woman? Am I a bitch? Some people are bitches SOME of the time. I hope that is me and I'm not a bitch ALL of the time----but, am I?

ETA this probably looks like marichiko attention whoring. maybe it is. so what?

Another ETA: I feel like Leona Helmsley or Ann Coulter. THAT is how bad I feel.

No no no Bri. You are you. YOu are sweet, and yet you don't take any crap. You make yourself feel lousy because of that pressure women can still get from society that standing up for yourself, or sometimes just being yourself, warrants the bitch label.

A bitch, to me, is someone who doesn't care about others, and likes to hurt others. You are so far from that you can't even see it with binoculars. You are a big hearted person with a huge capability of caring. So sometimes that hurts you...so you try to turn it inward and make yourself feel like you've done something wrong.

Granted, I have no idea what you were referring to, but this is my take on it in a general sense.

Is "bitch" a bad thing?

footfootfoot · 01-09-2009, 09:23 AM

Yeah, define "mental."

Shawnee123 · 01-09-2009, 09:27 AM

mental: footfootfoot

HungLikeJesus · 01-09-2009, 09:44 AM

No. If you were you would not care enough to ask.

dar512 · 01-09-2009, 09:48 AM

Despite the very real connection, I don't think we really "know" each other online. If you want a valid opinion, you'd need to ask multiple people who know you IRL.

FWIW, you seem nice enough to me.

What made you start doubting yourself?

footfootfoot · 01-09-2009, 09:52 AM

Have we had a thread where dwellars who know one another IRL compare online personas with cellar personas?

I am quite a bit different IRL than in the cellar, but not as different as Gwennie was.

Shawnee123 · 01-09-2009, 10:06 AM

I'm me no matter where I am. What you read is what you get...IRL I am more subdued in argument, maybe.

Bri, you are no crazier than the next bird....trouble is the next bird is Shawnee, so that ain't sayin much *grins*

Seriously, though, you aren't any nuttier than most of us phreaks. Nor are you 'A Bitch'. You are quite capable of being a bitch and you are from time to time. Then again, so am I and so are most of us.

Don't beat yourself up, babe, there's enough in the world who'll do that for you. You're just feeling negative, and seeing your own worst side more clearly than you're seeing your best. We see both here, I think, and you'll do for us.

On the Cellar, you are an "appealing and interesting character"

Marichiko wasn't just an attention whore, she was a drama whore and a tragedy addict. She had to interject her own situation on every matter, and when there wasn't enough drama and/or tragedy for her, she would manufacture some.

Juniper · 01-09-2009, 10:24 AM

I dunno. Meet me for coffee - and show up the first time, dammit - and we'll talk about it.

Srsly, no, I doubt it. Few people ARE bitches (or other derogatory words). Most of us ACT LIKE bitches or do bitchy things from time to time. Including me. Oh yeah, you betcha. :p

Sure, but you have to give some wiggle room to anyone with the skills to shoot a staple into a door lock.
