Not very productive. Instead, very blameful, accusatory, judgmental, manipulative, self-centered, and whiny.




You might be missing a few adjectives there, lol.

All in all though, a very interesting contrast. Yes, I could have said that same exact thing the second way and it would have been more truthful than being accusatory. It is, after all, a report of my feelings. Although, in all fairness, I did say many of those things putting them into "I" statements. Either way, I should have "jumped the grenade" and never let the obsessive thoughts take over anyhow.

Thank you for chiming in oldtimer, your posts have always been helpful to me.
