Your W is also saying you make sarcastic statements. Those statements do not come from happiness.
but if you do it with a british accent, its charming.

anger isn't synonymous w/ any of those other things.

well, no, I think YOU need to tell ME about that, because you're the one making this stuff up. I don't dance to gain anyone's approval...never did. If anything, that made matters worse irt my parents, etc. They'd have loved for me to dance for them...I wouldn't do it.

another classic. but wtf does it mean??? reminds me of the old recurring skit on SNL w/ the pop-therapist, whos response to everything was "......have you LOOKED at ya-self???" and everyone went away with this enlightened look, like they'd just seen the burning bush or something.

Because it has before, and it continues to be so. revealed vulnerabilities can be used as weapons. I'm not going to go any deeper into it than that; you'll just have to take my word for it. In THIS case...she said she let the cows out. that's bad. I reacted negatively. That was FEAR that the cows were out, and I would have difficulty getting them back in. turns out, she didn't let the cows out. whew! But NO...can't put that genie (my reaction) back in the bottle. I had an emotional reaction, and now I MUST PAY! but wait--I'm supposed to be "in touch" with my feelings and express them and yadda yadda yadda...which one is it???
