Geez does it have to be just one??

My enthusiasm I guess, I'd like to have that back, when I woke up and was happy just to be;
when I liked doing things for their own sake and there didn't have to be a 'reason.'

Yuck, how awful. I wish I had some helpful suggestions. Reminds me of my one trip to Europe, the nightmare vacation from hell with a female friend who managed to hook up with a French guy on the plane over, spent the whole week either with him, or fighting with me, leaving me to wander Paris ALONE with woefully inadequate language skills. But, horror that the trip was, it was still somehow a memorable experience.

I'll be wishing you a surprise meeting with some really cool English-speaking person/people to hang out with. It could all turn around in a minute. Or you could get into a meaningful solitude state. Or find some really great stuff shopping.

hi fallsfall:-) I'm glad you answered!
Do you know what or when or why you feel you lost your confidence? I hear you, I wish I had the confidence I had too when I was, say 19, or even 22, and even now!
Keep working toward it~~I wish you the best:-)

> I would like to have my confidence back

(((Dinah))) Glad you answered too:-) Do you think the people in your life aren't happy with you? I have been very happy knowing you on this board, you have given me some great advice and helped me in a few of my questions I've had, and for that I thank you:-)
Remember, *to thine ownself be true* I wish you the best in meeting your obligations, but one day at a time~~right? ;)

Hi Penny:-) I hope you're hanging in there. I know sometimes I get overwhelmed and can't think clearly a lot and I try to tell myself to just focus one one thing at a time. I know it may be easier said than done though. Like sometimes I race around so fast and about 2 days ago, I hit the wall~~seriously and looked at my arm today~~I got a dang blue bruise LOL. I'm dealing with the no motivation thing lately too and I wish you the best in getting some of that back. I wish it were easier,
Take care:-)


> I would like to be able to think clearly and have my motivation back - so I would be able to function again!!!

Hi ROO, so glad you answered too:-)
Sometimes I feel the need to self-protect ALOT. I really build up walls in my life. I guess it's because I've been hurt a lot, but I know if I use that excuse for the rest of my life~~I may make for a lonely person, and I don't want that for myself. I hear you when you say that in a sense you wish that in expressing any amount of love and passion that it would be returned. I wish that were true too. I'm learning that life has no guarantees. Boy, do I wish it did :-) I hope that you continue to give your love and passion and know inside that you are a good soul for doing so and have the confidence in that even if it is not returned.
Have you ever heard that saying about the definition of FEAR?
F=False
E=Evidence
A=Appearing
R=Real
*May be corny, but it's true. I worry so much and am afraid of a lot in life and am as I write this. If I can just remember my words to you LOL
Good luck!:-)
Take care.


> The need to constantly self protect. Wish I felt like I could express any amount of love and passion without the insecurity and fear that it won't be returned...
that things won't work out...and therefore keep it locked up inside.
Life is too short. But sometimes I feel like a wild horse that has someone (my inner fear person) pulling on the reigns constantly.

When I crashed 8 years ago I found out that I had limits (at age 38). Up until that point I honestly didn't know that there were things that I couldn't do. Now I do.

Hey Sabina:-) Keep at it and you will like yourself! I like you~~not that I'm the ultimate judge YIKES! LOL I have forgotten how to like myself too, we'll get back there someday, you and me I know it;)What helps me, is to remember it like you said, but stay in it for more than 30 seconds~~try to stay in it for as long as your mind allows. It works and the feelings you get are amazing~~a great rush!

I wish my dad hadn't been in the Navy and gone on tours 8-9 months out of every single year. I see little girls everywhere with the confidence that their daddy will protect them and grant their every wish. I wish I could have experienced that feeling, instead of growing up with my dad as a stranger, emotionally distant and prone to angry outbursts.

My worst relationships happened because of my need for a father-figure.

Hi KDi, WOW! I see my post! My dad sounds similar to yours. My dad has been in and out of my life and I also wish that I could have experienced more of an emotional bond with him, especially as I was growing into adulthood.
Unfortunately, alcohol and other women became more important than his wife and family. And love and acceptance took a backseat to HIS anger outbursts, I hear you.
Sometimes I wonder if some of my relationships or many of them for that matter stem from relationships with my parents?
What do you think? Anyone have a take on this in general?
Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks to gabbix2 and galkeepinon for your kind replies. This subject's been on my mind alot because of watching my step-daughter with my husband. He's wrapped around her little finger and she is SO sure of herself and her place in this world. It's stupid to feel anger at her for having what I wanted. Let me tell you, GREEN with envy.

My dad was distant, usually gone, and totally unpredictable. My mother was controlling and manipulative. She was way-above-average intelligence born into a poverty-stricken family. I was going to have all the opportunities she never had, whether I wanted them or not. I had to be perfect at everything. I was never allowed to be average. She sure had some mental and control issues. I eloped from college with my first controlling father figure. LOL

Did these 2 relationships mold me? Everything that's wrong with me can't be blamed on them. But I can trace alot of it to them. That's were it all began.

Hi KDi, I believe it-green with envy-I'm not a jealous person at all-BUT I do envy!!!! Sounds like we come from VERY similar backgrounds. My dad was distant, usually gone, and totally unpredictable also. My mother was controlling and manipulative and she still is-and I'm over 30!!! My father was way-above-average intelligence born into a poverty-stricken family, but got into Princeton-but blew it.
With my mom, I was never allowed to be average either-my dad did let me be me though. If I gained even a pound-my mother said 'oh-yer gettin a pooch' (gag me)
Of course, I believe, our parents mold us or whoever our caretakers are-but when we become adults-however that turns out, we do have to take responsibility-I think anyway, for the most part everyone knows that-some may not. It took me a while to realize that. Sometimes I wish I wasn't born, but then other times I think well, I got the hand I was delt, and I can make it a good hand or I can make it a bad hand-it's all up to me! No one else.


I was going to have all the opportunities she never had, whether I wanted them or not. I had to be perfect at everything. I was never allowed to be average. She sure had some mental and control issues. I eloped from college with my first controlling father figure. LOL
