Family therapy in the USA

You're the same way. You get these kinds of replies constantly, then you start jumping all over the forum like a damn deer in heat during mating season.

Honestly, I’d love to see this post get nuked for being provocative, off-topic, or just plain spam—whatever reason makes sense to the mods.

Are you actually going to chill out, or what? 🍿

Am I really the only one here without an ignore list? ...

The real secret is learning how to ignore people without actually hitting that button.🧐

Oh, Sunny, you really are like a tiny, high-strung chihuahua barking at the entire world, aren't you? Yet, for reasons known only to heaven, I find you absolutely charming.

You clearly have a thing for masochism. 😳

You certainly aren't alone in that. 👍 I have never felt the need to block anyone.
Besides, if some random anonymous person on the internet actually managed to get under my skin enough to force me to hit that block button, wouldn't I be the one with the actual problem?

No, I don't have her either.

I'm reading through everything. 😁

That team as well. 😁

I guess I'll just stay quiet about how this whole thread looks to me and what's actually being said here.
My impression.

Nice, keep it coming... please. 🙂 😁

Why does it always seem like we Americans end up looking like savages on Reddit?
Is it just me, or is everyone feeling a bit embarrassed in front of the admins? 🤦 🙈

Man, looks like Jeremy Johnson18 is the only one actually using an ignore list here

Jeremy Johnson18 said:Alright, time to start breaking the ice.
I cleared out my ignore list and I’m looking to give it another shot with a few people: Deva, Satori, Tik, Tyler Durden, MAGA, Riona, and Gwynbleidd.

If any of you guys are down to try again, just drop a comment.
I'm open to others too—if you think we didn't click before but see some potential now, hit me up.

Deva is fine by me; Tik, Durden, and Gwyn are alright too (how could you not like glasses : D).
Tikica is a total sweetheart—honestly, it's nearly impossible to argue with her.😁

Aside from Deva, it looks like you've successfully managed to alienate all the harmless, nice people on this forum. Congrats on the achievement! 🤣

Beaucoup romantique 🤣

That isn't quite accurate.

Some people on that list are actually... 🙂
Did you read that thread where they were absolutely tearing me apart today?
It becomes very clear who is doing what and why.

And if someone is dragging you through the mud across the entire forum just because they heard one negative thing about you, they aren't exactly "positive" people.😁
Especially those with whom you haven't even had a direct interaction.😬

With just a bit of self-control, you’d realize everything 😁
It already feels like you're ready to start throwing kerosene around, so 😁

To me, this feels like that weird Medenjakov sense of humor.🙂
But yeah, maybe it's better to just close the thread.😬

I mean, let’s face it—we’re all different individuals, so it would be incredibly bizarre if everyone just liked and tolerated one another, right? ☕

You just have to find your tribe and leave it at that. Some people will inevitably let you down, and you might disappoint others too, but there will always be those who truly get you and speak your language.

At least, that’s my take on it. 🕺

You didn't see how she went after me today, especially while I was just joking around with MAGA?
I guess, why is Tikica suddenly acting like this? 🤔 😁

I mean, I think I know why... damn.
Sorry, Tikica... nothing personal.

Jeremy Johnson18 said:I'll get around to updating my signature when I actually have a spare second.
Let's try being a little more chill about this.

Look, I can't stand most of these people either, but I think the real issue here is just garbage communication on this forum. Someone cracks a joke, someone else takes it way too seriously, and suddenly everyone's throwing accusations around.
Then we end up in these pointless arguments where half the time we don't even know what started it.

I’ve honestly walked away from conversations before just because some guy had a ridiculous avatar and I decided he was a moron, so there's no point in wasting my breath. 🤦

The fundamental source of all these misunderstandings is simply bad communication. ☕

One person makes a comment, another misinterprets it, and immediately there is a fiery, temperamental response.
If everyone would just take the time to read a bothersome post twice with a bit of nuance, perhaps these reactions wouldn't be so extreme. We should feel free to express our own opinions, yes, but shouldn't we also respect those of others? Wouldn't the world be incredibly dull if we all shared the exact same thoughts and perspectives?

Because you actually are savages. 🤣

If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even get a chance to show everyone else what you're made of. ☕

Do you ever feel like some people are intentionally misreading every single thing posted?

Like today, you ask a simple question: "What drew you to the USA?"
And instead, they start attacking people who aren't even part of the conversation, bringing up stuff that has zero to do with the topic. All because the PDF file was titled Lonely Hearts. 🤣

It could be Sunny, I suppose.

It feels quite similar to those frantic afternoons when your kids escape the backyard, doesn't it? You find yourself racing all over the neighborhood just to catch them and finally bring them back home safely.
What is there to be ashamed of? Isn't that just the reality of marriage? 😁

But shouldn't we be turning up the heat just a little bit more, perhaps by initiating a complete sweep from the top down? 🙂

👍

Everyone operates on their own frequency; just because someone doesn't align with you doesn't mean they're a bad person—you simply don't click.
It is impossible for everyone to get along with everyone else 🧐

I saw the part where you were giving MAGA a hard time—I liked that. 😁
Tikica flew right under my radar. 🤔
It's hard to imagine her being particularly aggressive. 😬

I don't need the neighbors snooping around to see what's going on in our backyard.

Honestly, I wouldn't even have a show to put on without you guys. 🙂

To me, the funniest people are those you've never even spoken to, yet they feel it's their divine mission to lecture you. 🤣

Live, and let live 👍

We're good kids, though—we know how to blink when we're supposed to. 😁
