If being on the outside looking in is such a fight, wiht loss and pain, why do you choose to be there?

Without a name or much else by way of context, I am going to have to treat this at face value ( ... )

a) You can't choose something different until you have sucked every last drop of pain from your current place.
b) You can't make a decision and are stalling for time (and maybe sympathy or pity).
c) To mis-quote "You don't yet know why you arrived in Spain, simply leaving does not help avoid Spain in the future." More bullshit excuses. Simply leaving does help you avoid it right now, does assist you knowing where you really want to go, and has nothing to do with making reduction of pain your primary motive...

A well-reasoned and logical response. Unfortunately, you will be unable to give a logical and reasoned expression of why you are where you currently are. (Although I'd like to see you try - I'm sure you have already tried).

You have obviously spent years learning and mastering reason. You seem to be using that invested time both as a defence mechanism and as a means to justify your continued neurosis. In fact, I'm sure you use that same reasoning to attack friends, family and therapists attempting to help you. Dragging these same people into an argument so you can avoid dealing with your problem. Thus alienating them (see initial symptom) and ensuring you are beyond help...

Yours with amused sincerity,

You say you are finding the limitations of reason, yet, seem to be unable to stop using it (despite statements to the opposite). Specifically, you stated "...this is proving a useful means of clarifying my thoughts..." And then spent some time using reason to describe and express your thinking.
Prove to me, through your writing, not just your words, that you have other methods (or tools, as you describe it with detachment) to express your emotion.

I also said it was the LCD of communication, but you seem to skip what you don't understand.

You demand I 'prove' I have tools other than reason. The process of 'proof' is one of reason. Your demand is ... amusing.

Now, re-read my last reply.

I mock, I tease, I play. You seemed uncomfortable with reason, so I leavened it with irony, parody and even a little humour. I had fun and have pointed it out to several people with a sense of pride. I liked it.

You missed it as an example of what you demand. My problem or your limitation?

I should not be surprised, you have an opinion you are barely able to articulate and have been unable to substantiate to _any_ degree. Rather than remedy this, you choose instead to attack my ability to do both and ignore anything that challenges you or your position.

This is pitiable, it really is. Is there someone you can get to help you with this?

I’ve apparently missed the humour, irony and parody you take so much pride in. I also missed the pride you take in articulating a witty, well-reasoned comeback that defends your position and attacks mine. Having seen your responses here and on other lj posts I know this is your basic response. You have even stated this is your first response ( ... )
