I Just Have Something To Say

Denial Can Do More Harm Than Good.

Things that we do without accepting the damage to ourselves and others is a form of denial.
We can ignore our own inadequacies and continue to put on a face of coping or dealing with but in reality it is false as we are not.
You can give your opinion or advice on things you have gone through yourself but unless you have actually beaten your demons and are living a more contented life this advice is not sound nor bares any credibility, it is just your own feelings.
We can relate to what a person is feeling because we are still living it but you are not in a position to say you have overcome it if it is still having a dramatic affect on your own life.
So if you are trying to advise someone who is going to hurt or harm themselves then turn around and still do it to yourself, to me this is being a fraud but not of an intentional nature, there is that saying "practice what we preach" or "do as i say not as I do", both sayings that speak for themselves.
These are my personal opinions and others surely won't agree and that is fine..
I stand by my own convictions and everything I say is truth to me and for that reason if things are posted on open forums then my opinion I will give whether liked or not, I care not.
Maybe in the long term it is best to really contemplate what we choose to post about ourselves because for every action there will always be a reaction...and that is not always dealt with very well..
May I also point out that yes we hurt sometimes and we don't think things through properly but we should always consider the affect our actions will have on those around us that care about us and if we care in return do we really mean to cause them upset and hurt by our own selfish actions.
On SW all we have is message and forum for communication and for our friends to see it..If you can't personally ask for help if you are going to hurt yourself don't then post that you are going to try and potentially kill yourself when your friends are powerless to do anything but wait and see if you did it and if you succeeded or survived. That is selfish beyond all means and not someone who truly cares for those around them enough..

@Enchanted 👍 it was on the back of a very bitter experience carried out by someone else.

Denial is easy when we don't have the courage to have face ourselves. But when we do the feeling is very rewarding. Thanks for posting this. ☺
