Quote: Boy, you certainly appear to be an assertive individual. I am, however, glad for your interest in my situation and welcome your suggestions.
I'm not sure how I went from honestly addressing your sitch to being overly agressive/assertive but...
My last post was not a challenge, really, I wanted you to post what you learned from the book so that we can understand what YOU want and what your goals are. I was not trying to be anything but helpful and apologize if you have taken what I have said any other way than that.
Sometimes, and much more so lately, I have been quick to post more openly and directly because I have found that the people who chose to do this for me instead of trying to be nice or pull punches as it were.
Quote: P.S. By any chance, GH, you see in me some of the negative qualities that you had or have? Or perhaps you just don't like me? You seem a bit on the aggressive side of assertive; or am I being hyper-sensitive again?
Absolutely, which is why I have been so direct and able to see things you are doing that are counterproductive. I even said as much in that long post a couple days ago.
I surely will back off and stop being so "aggressive" if you wish. Again, my intent is always to help, even if I come across in a way that ruffles feathers...
All I can say is I hope OT doesn't wander in here...lol.
Seriously, I think you are doing the right thing by reading and trying to formulate a plan.
