    Michelle's Growth
    Okay, I have started this thread for Michelle at her request. She would like the people who have been helping her the most to participate in the "New" Michelle! This board is for people who are willing to help by staying as positive and honest as possible with the ultimate goal of providing Michelle with support, caring and understanding... while encouraging her personal growth.

    Thanks so much...

    Hugs, Didi

    Thank you grammadidi, I tried it myself and it like disappeared.
    Anyway, The reason why I am afraid to go to school tomorrow is a long story and I don't feel like typeing it all but a started talking to a girl on myspace at my school. I made an account making fun of someone else at my school and this girl doesn't like that girl either but I just think that she would think its kind of weird that I never talk to her EVER and I sent her a message saying "this isnt really (the girls name) but i hope you dont like her, i dont." she said "who is this" I said "i'lll tell you but dont tell her or anything" and I told her it was me and we talked a little bit about the other girl and why we don't like her and she said "yeah she just always tries to get attention and i dont like people like that ...." And I can't remember much else said but I sent the last message and she never sent one back but I know she read it. And she sits in front of me in one of my classes and I'm just afraid for some reason. Like she's going to think I'm really immature or something/

    Let's talk about going to school on Monday. You need your sleep, so please go to bed soon.

    What would be the biggest advantage in going to school tomorrow?

    So I have so much I'm worried about but I don't feel too worried. I'm worried about school tomorrow and also I want to ask you all, do you think I should believe that he doesn't find others attractive? Its just that he says that's how he shows affection is by not looking at other people. But should I believe that he doesn't find them attractive?

    Well, what is the worst thing that could happen? She thinking that you are immature? People are going to be thinking lots of things about you because of the things that you say and/or write. It is best to try to say good things, or not say anything at all. Don't you think? Even if you don't like someone, it is always good policy to try and say something nice to them to their face or about them when speaking about them with other people. Word does get around about what either party is saying...

    If someone is known as not being very nice, then chances are that most people that are in contact with that person already know that.

    In life, it is best to be an example for others to follow, as long as the example that you set for others to follow is noble, and something to be honored as a way to act or be because of trying to make the world a better place for everyone.

    Most people deserve a second chance at things if they are willing to show that they want to better themselves or others because of the way that they act.

    Well, if she wasn't so big, I would say something to her face... its just that it take like an hour for me to walk around her.

    I started to answer you from a man's viewpoint. It was going to be somewhat long. I would like to do it correctly, and not in so rude a fashion as we know who! In order for me to do that, I need to get some sleep and think on it before I give you an answer. I would like for what I say to be kind, good and helpful based upon the knowledge of your situation that I already have.

    We all know that you are okay. You are a very likable and lovable person. You also write really well! You could develop your strengths in that area so that you could use it as a potential as part of what you might do to make a career for yourself. But, you need some work on your grammar and punctuation as most of us do. You don't really wish any harm to anyone. You want to try to figure out the things in your life so that you can continue to grow as a person in your individual life as well as that concerning the relationships that you have.

    But, these conversations can go on at another time... I do so want to answer your question about your boyfriend finding others attractive to the best of my ability - after I have gotten a good night's sleep!

    This is just for Wondergirl, since I had asked her on your other post about what she had done on Sunday.

    I did some things in my home. Went to where I thought the Catfish Jazz Society was meeting (they weren't, I was wrong) so that I could speak with the head of the musician's union here in order to rejoin. Went to play just percussion at the rehearsal for the Quad City Wind Ensemble. Came home. Got on the computer and Internet.

    But, the best part is - and you're going to love this Wondergirl - is that the meeting that I am going to in the morning is for the Friend's of the Rock Island Library. I have been a member for a number of years now. Have also given at least three programs for them in the past.

    Did you know that the Rock Island Public Library is the oldest public library in the State of Illinois?

    I just think that you need to get to bed! If you trust our advice, then I would suggest going to bed. I don't have to be up as early as you do.

    When going to bed at this time of the night, you just might have trouble waking up. What is it that would help you to get to sleep, Michelle? You do need your sleep, you know?

    Great awareness, Michelle. So, pick the correct solution:

    a) Stay up so you are a stressed out basket case who can't communicate properly with anyone the next day
    b) Go to bed earlier so you don't wake up so dead tired

    Thank you, M. A bit late, but a responsible act, none-the-less. I think that those of us who are attempting to help you should join a pact. I don't think we should post to you after... hmmmmm... let's say 12:30 am on a school night and 1:30 am if it's not?

    Hope you work hard today and try to do or say at least one thing nice for/to somebody.

    Hey, I'm here. I may not be online much anymore for a while due to some family problems.
    Anyway, so do you think that he IS telling the truth when he says that? Even though in mose cases with other people it would probably be a lie? We have been together for 669 days. Lol. Yeah I know. I realized that for some reason the day I was really sad, was the 666th day
  • Oct 8, 2007, 08:54 PM
    grammadidi
    I'm sorry, Michelle, about your family problems. I hope all turns out well. As for whether he was telling the truth... who knows? My guess is, that he probably finds other females attractive, because, if he didn't I would be a little concerned about him! He is probably terrified to tell you the truth because you have a tendency to over-react to things at times. Plus, he may be telling the truth in it's meaning. He may mean it's not the same kind of attraction that he has for you. Perhaps it's a physical attraction, perhaps a crush... but not an attraction of any importance.

    Either way, I guess the issue I have with your concern, is that I don't understand what the big deal is. You can love somebody but still find others attractive. It doesn't mean that you care less.

    Michelle, you have to understand that the teenaged years are ones of discovery and learning who you are, what you want in life, what you want in a partner, etc. It is perfectly normal to find other people that you are attracted to, move from relationship to relationship, etc. Yeah, it might not seem fair, but even that is personal growth.

    Anyhow, off the top of my head, those are my thoughts. Did you have any homework tonight? If so, is it all done?

    Michelle, I am so happy to meet this other side of you. Thank you for showing it to us.

    Love, Didi

    That's the thing. If he does, then he doesn't show any affection at all so yeah. That's real great
