My life is not exciting right now. I’m working, paying my bills. I went to a singles mixer last week and chatted up about 20 birds. None of the pretty ones had any interest in me, the ugly ones were grateful for my attention.
I bought a stationary bike five weeks ago and was pedaling about 10 miles a day in front of my tele but this brought on a CFS relapse and I’ve felt crook the past week. Able to drag myself off to work, otherwise, I’ve not been much good. I might be on the improve and will get back on the bike in a few days.
My fabulous reputation and impeccable people skills got me dis-invited from a community dinner Friday night. Funny how things don’t change from second grade.
I read a study that the more time you spend on Facebook, the unhappier you get, so I’m trying to wean myself off my attention-seeking posts. I’m always substituting one addiction for another, good thing I never touched the grog.
Keep the faith, mate,
Luke
JACK* emails: If you practice rational emotive therapy on yourself, you have to realize when someone is critical of your behavior, such as revoking a Shabbat dinner invitation or that you might lose conversation privileges, that the rational response is to determine whether the conduct on the other party’s part is reality based. If its not reality based, then you shouldn’t waste your time trying to convince them otherwise. If its reality based, then you have to assess whether you like that characteristic of yourself that others find offensive. If you like that characteristic, then keep on with it and accept the consequences including rejection by others. If you don’t like that characteristic, then work to change it.
