Thick Skinned
Are you?Especially to some of the negativity that comes our way at times?
I believe its learning not to take what some folk say personally
Which we can all do at times.
Even on a forum..we can take things that are said a little to seriously.
What say you?..
I do look inwardly a lot, ask myself a lot of questions, as of to why I reacted or said that.
Learning about self I find extremely interesting....also listening to others...

Sometimes those things that we think we've grown past, eh not so much.
Good post Danny, 👍👍

Re: Thick Skinned
I don't take anything personally on forums. Why would I? Anyone who throws any negativity my way is simply not important to me. I just ignore them and get on with my life - sometimes with a bit of a giggle to be honest
.It's different IRL, obviously, because any negativity would be from people I actually know which might be upsetting. I would want to try to build bridges if there was a risk of damaging what I'd considered a good friendship.

Re: Thick Skinned
This is interesting.....I don't treat anyone differently on here than I would in real life. I know its easy to misinterpret things in text form as there is no other indication (eye contact, body language) but the respect, and (hopefully) sorting out of any differences is still the same as in real life. Plus I'm quite laid back and not upset by much at all, so that helps.

Re: Thick Skinned
if I felt no emotionsThat is when I would start worrying.
Balanced emotions are good....its getting that balance is the key.
There was once upon a time when I would show no emotions...slowly I have come to understanding my emotions and why I never showed them....
