Last week I wrote a blog called “Stop Vomiting on Me” which has been met with mixed feedback. Some of my regular readers commented that it was their favorite of all my blogs while others missed the point completely.
One person actually inquired into what my point was in writing it. I am willing to look at my ability as a writer that the theme got lost; though I am not certain how one could miss the argument in the statement, “So quit vomiting you opinions of what I should do or how I should be. Said another way, I, as well as the other people in your life, do not need to know every thought that fires in your brain. Said yet another way, pick your battles wisely.”
I assert that said people are not daft but are unwilling to get the point. Furthermore one person felt the need to inform me, “I have no interest in forming a relationship of any kind with you as I do not have the experience of you BEING respectful, empathetic, loving, accountable, trustworthy, inspirational, open, nurturing, supportive etc.” Wow, really? I write a blog called “Stop Vomitting on Me?” and you respond by vomitig on me.
I file this message under GFYS (Go Fuck Youself).
Before you communicate with someone, I recommend that you ask yourself “what’s the point?” Or maybe, “What am I trying to further here?” And if you cannot find the point or figure out what you are trying to further maybe you should keep your opinions to yourself. I am not certain why that reader felt the need to 1) inform me that they have no interest in forming a relationship with me and 2) inform me why not.
With this blog my intention is to impact the need for people to put their thoughts on speakerphone to air for whoever they think will listen. Many people partake in that practice. It robs them of their power and at best annoys the listener

ReplyDeleteThat's what my impression a blog is...I put my thoughts on speakerphone, in writing, to anyone who will read it. I am INVITING comments back...by putting myself out there I automatically risk the feedback, negative or positive...in a big way.
Much like a President or leader gets extra scrutiny...those who lead can be powerful.
"Powerful people piss people off." I heard somewhere.
But mostly they inspire...
You inspire Alyssa, immensely, when you share yourself.
People are going to say, to do, whatever they do...there is something to people's occurances though...no matter how disturbing...there is something of value there.
When I share something difficult to say with someone, I always have a huge breakthrough when that person can be with what I said and ask for more about that.
Thanks for making me think.
More posts about the culture and environment that is OC please.
ReplyDelete@ Zen, I know people are going to think whatever thet think...I just do not care that they turn thier thoughts into a personal attack (not right word) on me when they do not know me....
ReplyDelete@ Dgraham...only when I am inspired to write about such:)
