So Just Tell Me About It Again

[HARDCORE]

10-2-2021

Most people seem to know everything about just about everything – or so they claim? And if you sincerely doubt this analogy “Then You Just Ask Them About It Personally?”

So why is it - “That If These People (Including All Of Our World-Wide Leaders) Are Such Brains – And If This Is Indeed True, Then Why In The Name Of ‘Blazing Hell’ is the World Still In Such Bad Shape - In Far Too Many Ways? Or could it be that far too many people, just refuse to see (or even to accept) what is boiling-up – right there in front of their own blood-shot little eyes?”

So do tell me about it again – If this world is in such fine shape, then why in ‘The Hell’ does some diseases still run rampant, one war after another, always seem to exist and greed and corruption always appear to top the headlines these days – from coast to coast?

And in the event that you feel (once again) that I am being redundant or overly excessive, then let me remind you again – that in the countless centuries that mankind has inhabited this festering little chunk of rock, water, excrement (and other sundry matters), that he has constantly done a really splendid job of attempting to obliterate himself from the very face of existence!

“A job, I might add, that he may eventually succeed in getting done - in my opinion?

ARE YOU GETTING THE MESSAGE YET – “ENOUGH SAID ON THIS SUBJECT?!”

9 Reasons Why Your Worst Enemy is Yourself
By: Wealthy Gorilla Staff
Re: https://wealthygorilla.com/9-reasons...nemy-yourself/

A person can have others in their life they call enemies, but what if the enemy is their own self?

People might not be aware that they can make them self their worst enemy to happiness or success. There are different reasons that one can examine to determine whether they are doing this or not.

1. No to Change

People who feel down about themselves are usually the kind of people who don’t embrace change in life. The constant in the world is change but there are types of people who are incapable of accepting and adapting to it.

They are secure in their own comfort zone.

It is not necessarily a problem being comfortable but if changes occur it is needed to react in a positive manner. To become a more productive person they should be willing to the step out of their comfort zone and embraces the changes that can occur in life.

Resisting change in certain aspects of life can lead to stagnation. Change can be beneficial and should be pursued to make life more meaningful.

2. Putting Yourself Down

Not believing in yourself can create doubts. The belief that you can’t do something or even do it more successfully than other people around you, is a reason one could consider them self their own worst enemy.

The kind of person who will tell them self that they can’t do something and it is impossible might be their own enemy. This person can start to feel down about them self because they don’t want to try before telling themselves that they have already not succeeded.

These types of people can fail by doing nothing rather than taking the risk of trying something, whatever the outcome.

3. Depending on Others

Knowing someone is there to look after you can be a positive thing. It can give you the feeling of security when problems arise. But sometimes this idea of having someone to depend on transforms into unhealthy dependency, in certain people.

They become too dependent, to the point that they forget how to solve the problems on their own. Too much dependency is unhealthy because you can forget how to care for yourself.

That’s why the kind of people who get too dependent on someone might find less challenge in life and it begins to get dull. They have let others do the things for them rather than them doing it on their own.

At some point, they can recognize this and feel they have made them self their own enemy by being less independent.

4. Feelings of Anxiety

Worrying too much about the future can be detrimental, but there are people who fear it without perspective. These types of people think of the future as something to worry about rather than wait to see if problems actually will occur.

Constant worrying makes life unhappy for themselves and others around them. If we worry about situations or events to much it can lead to depression and be reinforcing. Anxiety can cause unhappiness and be in this state can make you question life decisions.

These feelings can lead someone to view them self as unhealthy.

5. Trusting Others More than Yourself

Another problem of some people is the lack of trust in their own instincts. If they decide to accomplish something, they need confirmation from others that they can really do it. They can depend on others advice rather than rely on them self for encouragement.

These people can only follow instructions and need to be told what to do because they trust others opinions more them self. This could lead to lower self-esteem and could be a cause of someone viewing them self as an enemy.

6. Projecting Negativity

A person who projects too much negativity can begin to dislike them self through their actions. There are instances in life that not everything falls into place but letting negativity overtake can then cause more unhappiness.

Focusing on changing negative emotions into positivity is a sustainable way to live. Some people don’t know how to overcome the negative encounters of life and change their view to positive.

If being negative is what you view of life then there could be a higher tendency that you will have a negatively oriented life. This could cause someone to unintentionally make them self as their own enemy.

7. Caring too Much about Others Opinions

Caring about others opinions, more than you own can be an unproductive way to live life. Doing this may lead to disappointment and not being true to yourself.

If the person cares too much about what other people think rather than living life on their own terms, they can feel unbalanced. Showing a behavior that you think is appropriate to the crowd around you just to impress others means not being who you really are.

If the person focuses on this, it could cause disappointment. This path could lead to not being who you really want to be because you care too much about pleasing other people. Trying to fit into another person’s view of the world can cause long term issues.

People who practice this kind of behavior will usually be unhappy and they will start to experience negative emotions.

8. Playing it Safe

These types of people are the ones who don’t make the sustained effort because they don’t want to take the risks associated with decisions. They play it safe with life and take whatever is offered in front of them.

They choose to not engage with others that could lead to an enhancement their life through competition. They are content with what they have at the moment and let life do the changes for them.

This can be a way to feel more secure in the short term but if things occur that are unexpected this could lead to regret. Not pushing harder at different points of their life can then force them to accept undesirable situations later.

They have let their negativity cause them to become their own worst enemy by refusing to engage and push to fulfill their potential.

9. Waiting for Life

People who wait for things to happen in their lives are not motivated enough.

People who delay solving problems or waiting for outside inspiration are the types of people who might not regard themselves as successful. If no one motivates you or inspires you then be the one to be the inspiration for yourself or for others.

Motivate yourself to accomplish the things that you think are challenging to pursue. Sitting back and letting life occur around you can cause people to view them self in a negative way. Being proactive and finding your own path can be way to reverse these feelings.

Otherwise, a person can over the long term, view them self as their own enemy, limiting their progress.

Summary

People can cause issues in their life that are their own decisions. If these occur repeatedly, they can lead them to view their actions as being an enemy to their success or happiness.

They can review reasons that can lead someone to view them self as their own worst enemy and think about how to change for the better.

Personal note: I've been up and down all my life. Many self-made wrongs and yet each was a learning curve that taught me that I've got to find another way. In doing so I learn. I can't always be correct - so I read. I think about what I've read - and then see how it fits into my life.
-
My early life was troublesome due to marriage issues with my parents. Sent to foster homes - Catholic orphanages - they impacted my life - as well as the twins. Tossed about from foster homes only to be brought back the orphanage. Family was something I didn't really know for another five years until my real Mother found me after she remarried for the 4th time.
-
The twins went to my Great Aunts home they had no kids so they were then settled but we all carried this mental baggage all our lives.
-
We felt like throw-a-way's and it took time for us trust others with our feelings but growing up in stable home - sorta took our stigmas away - but in our dreams we always wondered where would we go next.
-
One of the twins died Larry from AO in Nam. The other twin Linda became a Nun. My little sister Chrissy died from some incurable medical issue - she and I were close and could talk to each other and we both would and laugh and joke around. She married but her husband died before Chrissy. My step-Dad who I admired was always the quite one - but a great Father and taught me much before he died.
My real Mother wasn't always so quite - but she did many side jobs with astrology & card readings and cleaning other women's homes for income.
-
My oldest 1/2 sister is in a nursing home she doesn't even know anyone - mind is shot from loss of her husband and daughter - but she's happy and her son see's her weekly when he can.
-
All my pals are gone now - I'm next in the food chain. My VFW post 6448 - thank God for them - at least we have an outlet and plenty of beer and comradery.

My Wife is very sick and just wants to die her neurological issues have affect her mental state and physical state - which are overwhelming to her - and she's so thin I don't know how she does it.
VA is running more test on me already had two cat scans need two MRI's to confirm if I've got a tumor or cancer? There issues effect ones mental state especially when you can' t fix any of them.
Has my personality changed? Of course - but I still find humor it helps keep me from dwelling on the past - doing so only turns you inside out - and those days a are long gone.
-
Sure I've got issues - I've become somewhat withdrawn of late - but I deal with it - like most of folks I've talked to - have some issues in play effecting their minds and altering their lifestyles they once had. It sucks! But this is life folks - like it or not - you got to live through it as best you can. To live in the past you live alone - that's about all I can tell you. I'm sure many of you must think I'm a nut case - but wait until its your turn.
-
I take each day - and make the best of it I can. Stay busy doing anything - but sitting in a chair - and starring at the walls isn't my style. I read - go in the garage and clean it up again. Go shopping with the wife - if she's up to it. I watch TV reruns and take my meds. Now you know the Boat's - am I crazy? I know I'm not perfect - but many people carry ingrained baggage all their lives. You're not alone! We are not looking for sympathy - hey shit-happens - just look at the kids today how many running the streets shooting one another - it's nuts - but it's America today - we see it everyday!
-
HC my good friend (and all those who are members of the Patriot Files - you are all brother's & sister's that I no longer have - your smart old fox's - and HC your verbiage is far superior to mine. You pull no punches and your experience and posting's speak volumes. I've learned a lot from you and many other's over the years. The Patriot Files is my only outlet of which I can express my thoughts and hopefully help other's who have issues - but still bury it deep within themselves. Warrior's are sensitive human beings - it isn't easy being in a war - or a conflict - or just being soldier - the service gave us meaning and opportunities and yet the credit is costly in many cases of which we must all suffer.
