If a person cares for you, they want to do nice things for you and not expect anything in return (and vice versa). As soon as you see that they don't, run. It's always easier looking at other peoples' situations, unfortunately.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286819116257727504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1168264894569327022007-01-08T06:01:00.000-08:002007-01-08T06:01:00.000-08:00Of course you know it's true.

What I realized is that he wanted -- no, NEEDED -- a fan club, in the form of an adoring me. Both to make him feel like less of a dickhead about screwing me over and to feed his ego (a la Kate Winslet's guy in the movie). And probably, also because he did genuinely think I was a good egg. I decided that there was one thing I could do to take control, and that was to not feed into it...even an ounce. It was hard, and honestly helped a good deal by a big old slap in the face, but I don't think I completely moved on until I completely stopped all the BS.

I did an awful lot of very similar "a-ha-ing" at that movie... I suppose my frustration is that I <I>know</I> what I shouldn't be doing... but I can't seem to stop myself because I don't see any other simple options. It's a scary thing to let go of what is so freaking familiar and... comfortable I suppose... for an awful lot of unknown!<BR/><BR/>I hope you find yourself some answers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1168179894350592602007-01-07T06:24:00.000-08:002007-01-07T06:24:00.000-08:00Wow, now I want to see that movie and visualize yo...Wow, now I want to see that movie and visualize you as the main character. It's funny that you never know what is going to give you insights into your life, even a poorly-reviewed comedy. Sometimes, I think you even get more insights from some movie or book that isn't so great, because you don't get totally lost in the characters and story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1168155638530675282007-01-06T23:40:00.000-08:002007-01-06T23:40:00.000-08:00I wanna see that flick... hasn't made it to my hom...I wanna see that flick... hasn't made it to my hometown yet....<BR/><BR/>I've joined the dorks online and created my very own MySpace blog.<BR/><BR/>http://www.myspace.com/inky1967matildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448662121980560268noreply@blogger.com
