Pointing out the obvious

[feuervogel]

This is my journal.

I can use it in whatever way I want.

People telling me how I may or may not use something for which I have paid money is not on.

I'm assuming this is directed towards me and one other person although you didn't reply, seeing as I tried to give you advice on issue in your last post. You can honestly do whatever you want; it's your journal. I won't try to give you advice again.

Agreed. I apologize for the social/culture clash. When most of my other friends post that many posts on the same topic, they're asking for help and advice with a difficult situation. I'll try to remember that you're the kind who doesn't want help or advice from anyone.

Of course you may use your paid items however you want. I never meant to imply differently. From an observer's perspective however, you have two wants which are in conflict -- one is to use your journal to rant and be angry about other people's actions, your other want in life is to have friends who like you and want to spend time with you. By asserting want #1, you fail to achieve want #2, and friends point this out to friends.

Having encountered many people on the internet who explicitly state an allergy to unsolicited advice, I tend to err on the side of not giving advice unless it's explicitly asked for.

It's not healthy for me to keep my anger in my head. I put it into words. It goes away.
