Talk Cancer

Question:

I may be a little bitter but at least I’m man enough to be able to talk about my feelings and work things out, unlike you other old-fashioned schmucks.

One of the things i really like about ASD.  Some of the men here do open up and discuss their feelings.  Not something i’ve run across too often in RL.

If you’re as full of yourself, IRL, I bet you’re a real charmer too… – A man stood up, at show-n-tell, and said: I may be a little bitter but at least I’m man enough to be able to talk about my feelings and work things out, unlike you other old-fashioned schmucks.

Who are these "other old fashioned schmucks"? Such a broad generalization is very confusing – are you a paranoid schizophrenic who believes the WHOLE WORLD is out to get him? Or is this comment directed toward specific people? Is this the type of communication that was either (a) the trigger for, or (b) the response to, all this yelling you say your ex did? Curious,

@NOSPAM.30551.invalid spoke thusly… I may be a little bitter but at least I’m man enough to be able to talk about my feelings and work things out, unlike you other old-fashioned schmucks. You were venting your anger more than talking about your feelings. A little different thing. But, all in all, you come across as a not unpleasant person, unlike Mr. Boob from soc.men, even though you sound quite upset.

Sorry. That day was a bad day. However, I hear over and over about how the older men can’t talk about their feelings, like in cancer support groups. They can’t talk whether they are the patient or supporter. But I understand that’s just how they were raised. —

That’s just been my experience, admittedly only based on about 10 people. Such a broad generalization is very confusing – are you a paranoid schizophrenic who believes the WHOLE WORLD is out to get him? Or is this comment directed toward specific people?

It’s not paranoia if the whole world really IS out to get you. Is this the type of communication that was either (a) the trigger for, or (b) the response to, all this yelling you say your ex did?

Like I said, that was a bad day. Sorry. — Say no to fixed width tables. They look terrible.
