HUH?
You know -- that's one thing, I would certainly agree with. Lots of your posts do suggest that you've got a rather strong attachment to things that happened long ago -- and trouble moving on from them. Nice realization -- but you might consider finding someone with appropriate credentials to help you with changing it.
Quoted for truth.
Within reason, there is truth to this statement. However, after the 14,298,476th time, there's probably no point.
Hindsight - "your past is a construct of the mind". The only good it does, is give a moment of clarity good or bad. You cannot exist there.

That's not what hindsight refers to… in fact, kinda the opposite. Hindsight is more about the ability to look back at previous situations/events, without the emotional connection or confusion of the moment, to clearly see what might have been done to better or prevent something. It's not about being stuck in the past, it's about learning from it… so… no.
Getting stuck in the past, especially the way you seem to, is a very different situation… and, honestly, a hallmark of any number of things, all of which would see you benefited from talking to a professional.
Of which how many times has this been said. As humans we all cling to things, but PG seems quite obsessed with something. Very strange even to me.

I am getting help. How? By discussing it here.
Oh dear.

I do, and the reason I keep doing that is because Im trying to make a point, and Im just not making the point even though I keep trying using different examples, and it can go on for gazillion times. I don't like it anymore than anyone else here, its really frustrating not being able to make a point no matter how many times I try.
Er, yeah it is, but I take a step back at that point.

and you do tend to be the victim of a dog pile when you post which is a bit disappointing.
personally if i am not interested in your thread i don't engage in it.
so if you want to remake a point because you have thought up a new idea related to it. For what it is worth i will back you on it.

really?
i mean if you don't like his threads do we need a discussion on how silly they are?
is anybody actually in a position to make a qualified call on whether someone needs therapy or not?
be a big call to make.
My mind seems to live in the past often these days, but I try not to make the same mistakes over and over. If I find something in the past that was not understood by others or that I said incorrectly I try to sit back and rethink my point of view and evaluate what has been said to oppose that point of view. I give it time to rework in y head and then I try to figure out the correct wording so others will understand the "where of that I'm coming from"
If after a 2nd try my point of thought is not accepted or if it is corrected again I do not repeat it again as by then I understand that a difference of opinion will never be corrected or changed by both sides saying the same thing many times

completely different.
not an inherent victim. A victim of a specific circumstance. In this case a dog pile. It is not a veiled insult.
i read the Bruce lee thread. Posters are already using the therapy line.
