I think its time for me to go, ive upset and offended everyone on the forum.

i am totally out of my depth here, i feel like i am useless.

i am sorry i upset some of you, i really meant no harm, i open my mouth without thinking sometimes.

i am hopelessly useless with literacy, always have been.

the only thing i can assure you is that i am good with people face to face and i do pick up on stuff face to face, i have a kind of sixth sense, i am excellent with people, that is why i have become a hypnotherapist, i am also extreamly ethical and dedicated to my work, i would never do stuff that i dont know what i was doing.
but i am totally rubbish at forums
i do respect all you guys a great deal
and i feel like a total prat
i just wish i could meet you guys and you could see what i am really like
i am illiterate and crap with the written word, wasting my time

i couldnt ever comment on some of the stuff you guys talk about, its over the top of my head, i hope that one day i know half as much as you do.
maybe i will come back then.

so sorry merlin, and skip and terry, i respect you all and wish you well

cheers pinky x

Pinktrance,

Permit me to invite you to reconsider and continue to participate in
this forum. Some of the stuff here is over the top of everyone's
head, so what? I and probably everyone else, continue to
learn at this forum. Otherwise, many of us wouldn't bother to logon.

You've raised some good issues, I believe, though you are oversensitive to
some of the responses you've received. For the issues you've raised
and the honesty of this thread, I'd like you to continue to participate. Whatever
your decision, I respect it and wish you all the best.

I think I know something of how you feel. I am on a list where I feel like just about everyone is far superior to me. And no one there has made me feel that way deliberately. I know I am doing that to myself. I am there to learn, and it is my choice to stay, because the learning is valuable enough to justify any feeling of inadequacy I might have. Besides I know that there is nothing anyone can do, that I cant learn to do as well.

I think sometimes we all forget that everyone is trying to learn and grow. And everyone starts from where they are.

I have often said that no one is that much smarter, or better than anyone else, it is just that in any given journey, some are further along the road.

It isnt as easy to say, when you feel like you are at the beginning.

That's easier to say, when you feel like you have gone some distance, down the road.

I wish you would reconsider.

I am going to make another suggestion which will be benificial to you. I suggest you lurk for a time, and post on occassions as far as sending posts is concerned, but that does not mean you shouldn't write and then cancel without sending.
The reason I make this suggestion is simple enough. You say you are no good at the written word, yet choose to not compete because of it. Isn't that being cowardly? Wouldn't you be much better if you practised more, and became competent? You will note if you stay, that I often seem to shoot from the lip as you do, but in fact, each post is reread several times before it is sent. I motivate my way, and surprise surprise, have made many friends on this board because of it in spite of giving them a hard time when I felt it would help.
Your choice of course. This post is much like hypnosis itself, I can offer help, but unless you take the advice offered, it is useless. Winston Churchill, got it right in the shortest speach he ever made. It was at a University I believe, and when he walked on stage, he did his usual pause for effect, then said "Never....never.......never give up," and walked off the stage his speach given......Now I'm no Winny, so I will take a different tack. YOU CHOOSE, are you going to be a coward, or are you going to continue your education until the day you die? You really have no choice, except an early death by the way. Living without learning IS DEATH........Who was it said, "A coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave man dies but once?"

Hi PT,

I am saddened for the loss and hope you return soon.

>I think its time for me to go, ive upset and offended everyone on the forum.

Everyone? Anyone?

>i am totally out of my depth here, i feel like i am useless.

I think we all want to learn from each other.

>i am sorry i upset some of you, i really meant no harm, i open my mouth without thinking sometimes.

Someone is upset?

>i am hopelessly useless with literacy, always have been.

Welcome to the club :)

>the only thing i can assure you is that i am good with people face to face and i do pick up on stuff face to face,

I'm sure you're good with people.
It shows in your posts.
We may disagree on technique, but I disagree with just about everyone.
Doesn't mean they are bad or a failure. It only means i'm enthusiastic about other possibilities.

> i have a kind of sixth sense, i am excellent with people, that is why i have become a hypnotherapist, i am also extreamly ethical and dedicated to my work, i would never do stuff that i dont know what i was doing.

I think that's wonderful.
I do wonder why your 6th sense leads you to believe anyone is offended?

>but i am totally rubbish at forums i do respect all you guys a great deal and i feel like a total prat
i just wish i could meet you guys and you could see what i am really like i am illiterate and crap with the written word, wasting my time

Many of us do poorly with written words.
If you read the archives you'll see my constant communication failures.

>i couldnt ever comment on some of the stuff you guys talk about, its over the top of my head, i hope that one day i know half as much as you do. maybe i will come back then.

Can't you stay and play?
I'll share my pretty ball :)

>so sorry merlin, and skip and terry, i respect you all and wish you well

You'll be missed :(
Please say it isn't so, that you've changed your mind.
The forum is better with you.

Hello Pink,

This is an open forum and believe me your posts are not illiterate or ill-informed.
All the regulars here will give you different opinions and your opinion is as valid as anyone else's. The response you get to questions will be helpful, arrogant, tired, enthusiastic, annoyed...depends on the question but if you can cut through the individual personalities present here you will find much to value. Others will find what you say of value, too, despite what you might think.

We all learn, every single day, every minute of every single day, but only if we allow ourselves to do so.

Hey Pinky
Don't give up. You don't really want to stop coming here do you? Your opinions are just as valuable as anybody elses. :-) We all agree and disagree and we all come with our own viewpoint and own experiences. I would imagine most people here can disagree quite strongly on some points but don't take it personally. Written words on the internet never communicate as well as face to face... Have heart in the replies you have recieved and maybe be kinder to yourself.

[pinktrance]

Thank you all for your kind words, that was`nt what i was eapecting at all !

I think i will take Terry`s advice and lurk a little, and think before i open my mouth !!!!
I think i can be rather over sensitive at times.

Smart choice, remember, grampa is always right except for those rare occassions when his hearing aid fails (EG)

Well, I will say that this has been a very valuable thread to read.

Thanks a lot.

(Big up ya Tel - that Winston scenario is first class on me at the moment, Cheers).
