Many men think they should be immune to all emotions except anger...and that that's the one emotion women should never show.

What could be unhealthy about that attitude?

It's considered appropriately sweet to say you feel that someone belongs with you, that you're meant to be. But if you say that someone belongs TO you, you're crossing over into creepy possessive territory.

Homelessness
can and does occur, both with and without having a place to stay. An inability to understand that, may be attributed to a fortunate lack of experience. Choosing to ignore your fortunate lack, and ridicule someone who has experienced it, is a lack of compassion, on purpose.

Some people act like being called "sweet" is a pejorative, turning sour as soon as they hear that word. But when I'm called that, I savor it as the compliment it is in this bitter world.

I was someone's "sweetheart", but now I see
Just how addictive that sugar can be.
I'm ashamed of what I did for a hit:
I flattered, I flirted, I fished for it.
I stooped very low just to get that fix,
Ignoring how he and I didn't mix.

I once heard a true narcissist say
To his mirror reflection one day,
"No one will love you better than I--
And should they come close enough to try,
You can be sure I'll drive them away."

You can't control how people treat you, but you can choose how you react to their treatment. I recommend taking the high road--the scenery's better.

If you're in a one-sided thing, it's not fair;
The unevenness says only one side cares.
It's simply impossible not to keep score
When the disparity's too big to ignore.
So if you don't hear from me & wonder why...
I'm tired of being the only one to try.

Society places too high of a premium on physical beauty and knowledge. While those have their merits, inner beauty and empathy are highly undervalued. The most outwardly gorgeous person or a brilliant genius wouldn't impress me if their insides were ugly or their brain was bigger than their heart.
