    I notice that LLama Jack can become predictable and thus unfunny, after reading your comment. Thanks for pointing that out.

    thanks anita
    hope it doesn’t annoy others but it is good creative writing practice for me as well as self-therapy

    re dealing with tough boss:
    excellent advice from mike on visualisation and anita on empathy for the inner child..
    this is a really good thread, possibly because your initial post is well-written.
    I too struggle with aggressive authority figures. It is so easy for me to lose confidence in a scenario with a very confident person, especially when they go on the attack. Once in counselling, I role-played with my therapist a future difficult scenario. This really helped. If you can afford a few sessions with a therapist you can trust, I’d highly recommend it.

    “i can’t force myself to suddenly become a more confident person, that is something that will have to grow. I can learn, more and more, to do different things that will help me to become more confident, to let it grow. And that will be a gradual process with many ups and downs, so we’ll need to be patient with ourselves.”

    I agree these are wise words.

    It is easier for a llama to pass through the eye of a needle than for a fortune 500 hundred top salesman to enter the kingdom of Jehovah.

    On one level OCD is such a debilitating thing to have.
    But yours is a fascinating case study nevertheless.

    I find the responsibility of the spiritual journey/search onerous. And sometimes confusing. I just wish I could stick to one truth, one way of looking at things. the Dalai Lama said “it’s better to stick to what you know, what you were raised on.” So he was not trying to recruit more Buddhists.
    My parents were catholics all their lives and stayed true to the church. it made sense for them to do that in their generation. Our generations have a much tougher assignment with so much on the menu, its hard to choose.

    play the game
    play the superficial game of life
    some may disagree with my advice here but to an extent we have to try to make ourselves loveable on the outside. The nice authentic part of us, they can find out later.
    To attract the opposite sex and really friends in general I’d suggest:
    -get advice on appearance, hairstyle, clothes choice,
    -develop a cheerful persona, look glad to meet others, take an interest in them, pretend to be a little extroverted
    -do an active sport which trims and tones your body
    -take an interest in some news/gossip eg. famous celebrity movie star
    -visit dating site on the net and create a “new” profile

    Other than this,get seriously into Buddhism. Go to Thailand and become a Buddhist monk. it will change your life for the better. I’ve heard it is really tough though. You can’t swat mosquitos whilst you are meditating. Imagine them biting you!

    It was students picking up a projector and throwing it on the floor, trying to light a fire in the classroom (and doing so), destroying public property, graffiti, stealing my money out of my purse, stealing my whole purse, and so much more

    OK OK I completely understand why you quit and don’t want to return!

    sorry about that
    definitely stick to your guns, don’t change to please others.
    I’m much older than you and I can tell you from experience. Be strong. don’t give in. Shakespeare said “to thine own self be true”. they are the immature ones. You are wise enough not to get into that BS.
