I do indeed attract women.

Teehee! :) When you get to be able to change your own title, that should be it.

Actually, I do very well with picking up cues and such. I do not take any offense, but I certainly do not have any of these issues in which you state. I know it might be hard to believe, but most of the time I'm simply being sarcastic. My last post was brimming with sarcasm. I didn't mean for it to sound as angry as it did, but every time we speak you have something to critique me on and it gets on my nerves a bit. I have no problem with critiquing, but I honestly cannot remember one time when we spoke that you didn't critique me.

S.uck it up. Good practise for ministry.

I feel like I have talked to you maybe twice.
It just seems to me that you very often say things without appreciating how people outside of yourself will feel. And when there is upset you don't seem to be able to make the connection -- there doesn't seem to be an "aha" moment.

Some teenagers have that problem because they are moving out of a very self-involved time of life.
But people with autism can have trouble with that too, because they can't perceive or anticipate other people as well.

Indeed. Being a Priest means no matter what I do someone is going to be mad about it.

We've talked a couple of times, but each time it wasn't very pleasant.

I say things jokingly. If I say something that will offend people and I have this face :P at the end, it means I'm not serious. I've been all over the place with sarcasm today. You can ask anybody that's talked to me today. I've just been in a really good mood today and I feel as if I finally like myself. Instead of focusing on the negatives, I've been telling myself the positive qualities in which I have.

I see. So when you said this:

Though all of this is quite ironic since according to my mother women flock to me and I have a natural way with them. Perhaps I can use this in order to convert the souls of women?
[/quote]

you were kidding around.

Therapist, psychiatrist, potato, potato. They're all overly confident with their knowledge and they think anything can be fixed by delving deeper into one's past. :P

But really, I don't know why, but everyone flocks to me. I guess they like my analogies I come up with or something.
[/quote]

Oh I could give a very long lecture on how very, very wrong you are.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialise in mental illness. They diagnose mental illness and can prescribe medications.
Therapists do a lot of different things, depends on their specialisms if they have them and the basic theoretical perspective. Some would take the 'delving into one's past approach', others would think that superfluous and work on changing bad cognition patterns.

'I do indeed attract women' should be your title.

Re the other thing - yes, but also, how to keep schtum and not retaliate, even when you think they're wrong. And the 2nd half of that equation is learning how to accept criticism, which is something we're all working on.

Edit: Sigh. This is all not very Lenten. Sorry for majorly hijacking your thread Annie.

See? Know-it-all. It's as clear as day. :P

But in all seriousness, I knew there was a difference between them. This is some of the sarcasm I use that I've been trying to explain to Lillabettt. :P

Oh, okay. Yes, it should be, though I would be under a lot of fire for that because people think I'm being serious all of the time. :P

When do I get a title?

Yes, we all need to learn how to take in critiquing. We're not all perfect, and we all need to stop that almost unstoppable urge to explain why the persons' evaluation was wrong, because then it just puts us under more critiquing. :P

Yeah, I feel bad for hijacking the thread.

I am a know-it-all. I have embraced this. I have a weird superhuman memory so I just know loads of stuff.

Sarcasm does not go well with the internet. If you are going to be sarcastic you have to use emoticons or just write [sarcasm] at the bottom other wise people are never going to get it.

But if you really did know the difference between a therapist and a psychiatrist then I salute you, no-one does and it is very annoying to psychologists. But we make up for it by inventing words to confuse the rest of you.

I can assure you I'm not this "beatus" person in which you speak of. I am psychologically healthy and have no disabilities. I am complimented frequently for my social skills.

I did see that you were being sarcastic, Miles, but most of it just wasn't funny. I can be a pretty sarcastic person; I attend the [insert my school name] of Sarcasm as it is fondly called. Moderation in all things (except the love of God). Sarcasm can be great, but it can be annoying if someone uses it all the time--not pointed exactly at you but more of a general statement.

And I think this :| is more recognized as a sarcastic emote if you care.

I've been in a really good mood today. For once I felt very good about myself, and I wanted to spread my joy through jokes so others could experience the joy I was. Everyone has enjoyed it except you. I'm not this sarcastic all of the time.
