Tisha-1 agony auntMy mistake, Willow has just told me that she is NOT dyslexic. I apologize, Willow, I thought you had told me that you were a while back when we were discussing this same topic, about your situation. I must have not remembered correctly, perhaps it's a sign that I'm getting older?

Tisha-1 agony auntWillow, I don't think it can hurt at all to let people know that you are dyslexic, which is one of the challenges you face in life. Just so people understand why the letters sometimes are jumbled around in the words.

Tisha-1 agony auntWhat I find very odd is that she never actually answers any of our questions. Well she did once for me, but then quit and wound up in exactly the same place, obviously. Instead, we wind up at "you just don't understand." But I don't see her trying to answer our questions, we just get the repetitive rant/hate men/hate a specific man. Did you read GinsengMeow's contribution to this thread? That was brilliant. And yet she completely ignored the excellent points he made. Didn't answer a single one of his questions or apply his examples to her situation.

Tisha-1 agony auntWe are having an interesting little set of PMs back and forth, Eyes. The basic thing is that no one (including me) can understand how she feels. Which I will grant. Feelings are individual, after all. But what you do with them and how you throw them at people, that you can control and all I can say is that negativity begets negativity.

Tisha-1 agony auntOnce she can understand that the change has to happen from within herself, that's when she can move forward. But right now, that negativity, anger and hate is keeping anyone who might be a friend far away from Willow. (That's my nickname for her, Willow.)

You never respond to what people ask you, Willow, you always end with a rant about how awful people are to you, especially this guy. We all try to help, you reject us just the same way you think you are being rejected. You are mean to us and you yell at us and you ignore us. You are doing what you think he did to you, to all of us, the aunts here who have tried to help you. You push us away, you stomp and scream 'no no no nonoononononnoooooo I don't want help people are all awful all awful' and yet, here we are, people willing to try to listen to you, to try to engage you in conversation. What do we get? Rejection, anger, and the cold shoulder. Look in the mirror, you are behaving just as badly as you think he did to you.

A reader, anonymous, writes (9 July 2009):

Your mistakes are apparent in your outlook in life. You drown yourself in the misery of rejection and continue to spiral down the abyss of self-pity, but do nothing to upgrade yourself. You continue to let your negative feelings swallow you deeper and deeper, seeking an empathetic ear to vent to. Do you believe progression and advancement in science, romance, society and wisdom can ever be attained by sitting still and doing nothing but repeatedly say, "No one loves me. Life sucks. I refuse to do anything to 'better' myself. I hate men." - and repeat?

Cause and effect.

You want something? Then you'll need to find a way to get it.

Example 1:

I am an avid cyclist. I want a nice road bike that can take me across Canada, from the west to the east. However, I do not have much money and I have other financial obligations.

What can I do? I can sit here and day dream about riding around the world, or I can work more and diligently persist to find more projects to do to pay for my expensive hobby.

-----

Example 2:

I am slender and pale looking. Most women are not lured in by me. Therefore, they will never find the 'real' me. This brings my confidence down and I avoid contact with women to give myself the illusion I don't have the opportunity with women.

I can either continue to pretend nothing is wrong and that is the 'right' path to go on, or try to go to the gym more often, work on the 'right' muscle groups, eat more healthy, start off with carb and protein shakes, go outside more and work on the sports I am good at. Over time, not only would I feel better about myself, but the entire 'women are not interested' mentality won't be an issue anymore. I would work on myself because it feels good. Everything else is a bonus or a reward.

-----

Example 3:

I have no friends, but I want someone to hang with and have talks with. However, I don't want to go through the trouble of finding friends. Friends are still capable of hurting me. Plus, I don't want to change my bad attitude and I don't have any hobbies. I don't want to get new hobbies. 'Friends' should accept me for who I am.

I can either 1) continue to make excuses and justify why I don't have friends or 2) upgrade my thoughts and my abilities which would have a positive effect on my mentality and will add to my personality. Which in turn, would attract like-minds to me. Which would create opportunities for new friendships.

=====

Cause and effect. You choose your own battles. If you sit there screaming and venting about your own issues, but do nothing and still make the same mistakes you keep making, then you are a cause not worth the effort.

Would you not think for a moment, that the world has more people in it than the small world you experienced? Would you not be aware that there is a broad and infinite range of personalities that would work out, than the limited number you've had?

The world is vast. You just have to open your eyes a little wider. Step back if you need to.

A female reader, AuntyEm United Kingdom +, writes (8 July 2009):

AuntyEm agony auntStarlights is absolutely right, you need to love yourself. Having such a negative opinion of yourself will drive people away from you. People will want to offer help but if you find that you cannot lift yourself out of the unhappiness then perhaps its time to speak to a counsellor.

There must be something that you cherish in life? something you care about and that gives you enjoyment. Try to build on that.

Having a man in your life isn't everything, believe me, I have had a few relationships and they never worked out. It's not all it's cracked up to be...but you have to make the best of your life.

Wishing you were dead will solve nothing. Make a small change and see where it takes you.

Good Luck

Starlights agony auntit is very hard when one gets rejected.

but dont let this 1 experience put you off love for life.

firstly you mustn't think bad of yourself.

just becoz u never had a full relationship with a partner, this is your course in life,

& everyone follows different paths in their life.

your still young, & 30 + isnt that old,

if u believe in yourself, look after yourself and love yourself,

someone will see that and love you.

dont give up,

keep going, and remember love yourself, respect yourself, and dont think too much of falling in love, when u least expect it love arrives.

good luck!

A female reader, AuntyEm United Kingdom +, writes (8 July 2009):

AuntyEm agony auntI dont think any of us know what will happen in the future. Loneliness is certainly a harsh thing to live with and can seem endless at times.

What is true is that while you are waiting for the love of your life to come along, you also have to get on with your day to day life. The good news is that it can be filled with many wonderful things. Travel, friends, pets, wonderful art and literature, family, gardening, great food, nature, arts and crafts, taking a lovely walk...the list is endless for enjoyment.

Exposing yourself to lots and lots of different activities will bring you into contact with lots of different people, even doing an evening class or walking the dog. Learn to embrace your alone times too. I have had many alone times over the last 5 years...and they are the times when you are most in touch with your inner self.

You cannot make love happen, but you can enjoy your life and surroundings. Money doesn't really come into it either. I earn a lowish wage, but still manage to enjoy lots of stuff...and there are many things I wouldn't dream of giving up for the sake of a partner.

Rejection is something we all have to cope with at some time or other...it is positively wretched and constant rejection can make us doubt ourselves...but everyone has value. There are many things you can be a success at, without a partner coming into it. A good cook, A good friend,A good gardener, A good listener, even a good sports fan...loads and loads of things. Try to embrace those things that you feel positive about and work on adding to those skills. You will spend less time thinking about having a partner and more time living and enjoying your life.

Nothing in life is certain...but life is definitely worth the living.

With love

Aunty Em xx
