Hi Everyone,
I recieved a PM this afternoon that was a personal attack on me based based on my posts. I had intended on just acting on my first response which was to feel sorry for this person and not even waste my time replying. I thought it over and decided to use my newly found self assertiveness skills instead. I am so happy I made use of what I have learned. I decided to share my reply with everyone. I really wish this individual much luck with their life.

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">I Wasn't even going to reply to this post as I feel my time is better spent working on myself with the program But after completing the session on being ASSERTIVE I decided to go ahead and use my new skills.</span><span class="ev_code_BLUE">I'm not sure why you felt there had to be a personal attack or negative response sent to me regarding posts but I also don't care..we are all entitled to our own opinions and of course nobody is forced to read my posts. I write from my heart and brain and all my intentions are positive not negative nor are they harmfull to anyone. I don't hurt people to make myself feel better or out of low self esteem but rather try to encourage people to feel better within their own minds and bodies. That is the purpose of the forum.</span>
<span class="ev_code_BLUE">You have no idea as to who I am as a person, how many hours I have spent working on cognetive thinking, reading books, running 3 self help groups = time spent with people like myself trying to better ourselves and begin living a life I want to live.</span>

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">You also have NO idea how many hours I have spent on this program. I will tell you I have worked my butt off and repeated a couple of sessions 2-5 times. My true colors are just as I portray myself in my posts. I am a very caring and supportive person, always have been to anyone and everyone BUT MYSELF!!</span>
<span class="ev_code_BLUE">I do NOT need your pity or prayers but thankyou anyway.</span>

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">I really feel when an individual ASSUMES something about another it is the ASSUMER who may need prayers and pity.</span>

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">Please just work on making yourself better and not judging people you don't know.</span>

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">GOD BLESS...GOOD LUCK with the program, </span>

BELIEVE YOU CAN CONQUER ANYTHING AND YOU WILL!!!

What a sad event! I would like to be the first person here to tell you how MUCH I APPRECIATE YOU! Your posts and replies are usually heartwarming to me. As a forum friend, I count you as a good one. Your friend, Pecos

PS: At least it was a PM. Usually, when people get mad at me, they get mad right there on the board :(.
