I replied to her, and she replied back. The second message was full of the words that she didn't say in the first. <br />Why would she take the time to give me advice? Because this particular thing irritates her, and she has control issues. She knew nothing of my situation before sending the message, she only knew of this one thing that she didn't like. She doesn't live near my anymore, and when she did live near me, she was also then very judgmental. She even confided in me that this is something with which she struggles.Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-78412702470873623892012-02-04T00:07:02.937-08:002012-02-04T00:07:02.937-08:00Delirious, by way of comfort: You say that person ...Delirious, by way of comfort: You say that person knows nothing of you, your life, any health issues you have. In which case maybe what you perceive as criticism wasn't meant as such. Sometimes we try to help only to find we made a boo-boo, hurting someone unintentionally.<br /><br />Since she obviously cares for you - why would she otherwise take the time to give you advice - I would give her the benefit of the doubt. Having explained to her, and if I were in HER "moccasins", I'd now be pretty embarrassed.<br /><br />On a general note: What we perceive as criticism or what indeed IS criticism is never pleasant to hear; yet an outsider's view can be beneficial, helpful to us, an eyeopener.<br /><br />All the best<br />UUrsulahttp://bitchontheblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-82115667491182443812012-02-01T15:33:17.309-08:002012-02-01T15:33:17.309-08:00Nene, it was sent in a personal message.

The solution would be a ritual to drive out the ghost. I would simply ignore the whole thing, having had an opportunity to look at yourself with the opening that she gave you.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-69804758262296848362012-02-01T03:03:00.016-08:002012-02-01T03:03:00.016-08:00Don't lose any sleep over it.
