Tell me...

Okay I always read into things, and get them spectacularly wrong.

I will see Facebook messages (damn the social networking era) and think there is a hidden message just for me. Who else does this?

Someone will make a statement, or quote some song lyrics, and I start to think it might be hinted at me... Usually there has to be some connection between me and that person, but do I imagine the meaning behind something? Maybe I'm self obsessed, why would somebody be hinting at somebody else? It's all about me, don't you know... :-)

I just think though, maybe some of those messages must be for me? Over a period of time I may wonder about ten of these messages. Surely I'd be right about one of them. If you've been messed about a lot, and had people play games with you, like me; then you do get paranoid about these things. It's almost like you can't live without the games somebody used to play with you.

There's a message on Facebook at the moment, and I could swear it is meant for me... What do I do? Do I ask then look a fool, or do I just leave it, and get over the anxiety? God these things are not simple. My normal advise would be to ignore these silly thoughts and move on and forget... So hard though isn't it.

I have tackled many things over the last 2 years. I have gone from having a severe nervous breakdown, to being one of the most self assured people I know. But I still have these silly little anxieties. I think it's normal, but so annoying.

Anybody else see subliminal personal messages in the things people write or say?

I was supposed to go on a date with a guy at the weekend, but unfortunately I was really ill and had to cancel. We have been texting since. It is so easy with him. No games, no strange messages, no ambiguous statements, just simplicity and honesty. Why cannot all conversations go this way? Some people make things so simple and others so hard.

If there were no liars, or cheats, or scared people, then there would be no need for paranoia. There are 2 ways to break this chain. Either we ignore our anxieties and just move on, or every person out there who communicates with hidden messages just stops!

Feel a great weight lifted now! I will no longer fall victim to my own anxieties. People in search of self actualisation cannot afford to do this.

I will stop blaming others, I will concede that my own imagination runs wild, and I will choose to beat it.

Never mind 'Tell me.' How about 'Tell yourself!'
