First off just to clarify, underdog is just my label for whoever is on the receiving end of criticism... there might not be anything weak or " under " about them, at least not that seems obvious. And yes, i have been the attacker of the underdog. In fact, often the people i am defending or sticking up for might be people i have dissed and criticized myself, even if " just " in my thoughts. Maybe i feel guilty for having been critical myself. I'm thinking of a work situation related to gossip... I find myself partaking of this pleasant yet unpleasant passtime sometimes. I notice that sometimes, after gossiping, i want to then say something good about the person, to balance things out, to cancel the negative i just uttered, maybe so that i won't be responsible for the other person no longer being liked. God! I feel so full of uglinesses. Everything i'm judging in P and others is biting me in the butt! Everywhere i turn there are people i'm unhappy with or things that need fixing. It's such a stressful place to be in. I feel myself fighting everything. I feel very sad b/c i can see through this charade and yet that's where my thoughts go. I feel like myself at 9 or 10, not being able to fall asleep until everything in my room was " just so " ... the door open the perfect amount, the curtain hanging just the way i wanted, the peeling back sticker on the wall chart adhered to the chart again... Pain pain pain. This is old. Love, Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
