I have had some things on my mind for quite awhile and I want to overshare about them. I have started to type about them but then I stop. I think the problem is it is too big. There is too much stuff, too many angles. Plus it is kind of depressive in nature and I don't want to whine.

What I need to do is take it in small bites. Maybe I just need to start a thread in this manner and that will basically force my hand to get to it.

Maybe someone will have some helpful wisdom for me or maybe it would just be good to unburden.

Or maybe it's all a big mistake but anyway I'm going to press Submit New Thread and see what happens.
 
I already like this.

Earlier today I thought about starting a thread called 'Life lessons from Muddy'. Myself and other younger guys or anyone could ask you life questions and you could reflect some wisdom on us. Like stuff you would have gone back in time and told your younger self if you could.

Elder Exploitation.
 
there are places to overshare and places not to overshare....

I think if you don't have any enemies this is as good as any....

you have alot of friends here....


so you'll get authentic and sensitive remarks with some humor and ragamuffin goofballing thrown in.....


just be aware that if its stuff that is way deep or personal, some "enemy" if you have them around here or will have them. can and will bring your truths back to TRY to "haunt" you later on in your forum life.


ah the truth will set you free.

Muddy I look forward to hearing what you have to share.

I probably won't be able to offer much insight since I'm a bit of a headcase all around but I'm willing to act the part of the unburdenee
 
Muddy, Whatever you do don't try to court a young lady on here and make a video of your date to share with the entire forum. There are 1 or 2 posters here that will bring up past intimate moments with other females in a malicious attempt to assassinate your game with the current one.

Oh you never got to nail CaliGrl?


Sorry bout that.
 
Okay I already feel like a drama queen here, like I started this thread to titillate or some damn thing. Not my intention. My intention was . . . . well, exactly what I said.


Here's one point which probably seems pretty innocuous - and people probably won't be able to relate - but feels like a good jumping off point. It's a big deal for me.



My addictions recovery meeting closed. I really liked that meeting. It was a cool secular meeting. The recovery community is dominated by 12 step meetings (mainly AA and NA) and they are weird. I mean, they're great for the people who are immersed in them but if you're not, they're very cultish. There is a ton of god stuff - and I'm not a god guy - and there is a weird brainwashing effect that happens. "Brainwashing" is a strong word but large numbers of people speak with the same voice in a way that is disturbing to someone like myself who is fairly intellectual.

That is huge topic and I won't get into a full exploration of that. The point is that after ~10 years, my meeting finally petered out and died due to lack of attendance. I liked it. I needed it. That was my place to overshare (without having people throw rhyming slogans and oversimplified platitudes at me).

It's depressing. I put a lot into that meeting. And I need to interact and talk about nitty gritty stuff every week. When I miss meetings I can feel myself going off track and getting more squirrely. I can feel that happening now.

But it's gone now. So do I go to AA? There are meetings all over the place all the time. But they're so weird. Really radically different - for the worse - both in philosophy and the actual structure of meetings.



So point #1 that I need to overshare about is I lost my main outlet for oversharing.
 
Muddy, I fully intend on reading your upcoming over-sharing but I may not comment or offer advice. People tend to under-estimate the depth in the simplicity of my advice and react harshly. It's a shame cause I feel confident that I am to the internet what Dr Phil is to a bunch of stuck at home housewives.

If you have been a part of something of that nature for so long and you can relate how it has been beneficial to you is there any chance you could at least attempt to organize and start your own group?

I'm sure it would be more involved than my suggestion makes it sound what with getting the word out that there is a new meeting and all and getting participants but if you could and did the potential is enormous. You would be able to continue with the style and manner that has been so rewarding for you and possibly turn new members onto a different style that may in turn work better for them.

Not to mention the rewards and self-evoling aspects of taking on the initiative to organize something of this nature.
