Baggage (1 Viewer)

[Yarg]

Everybody has it, And it fucks shit up. You think you know somebody, but do you really? I have a lot of friends who i can tell pretty big secrets about myself to, but there are some things that i don't think i would ever tell anybody, even if i was at deaths door.

comments? discuss.

 

[Kronkite]

do we have to discuss this? i have to eat my dinner soon...

 

[Yarg]

yes, yes we do.

 

[Kronkite]

ever heard of the saying "behind closed doors"?

 

[Yarg]

yes, im not asking people to discuss their baggage. im just asking people to discuss the concept of baggage.

Baggage. I guess part of being in a relationship is learning to put up with the baggage and listening to your partner when their baggage gets to much. Other wise you just add to the baggage. Tryn to help get rid of the baggage i think just add's to the problem as you're kinda making the person feel under pressure. I dunno.

 

[Kronkite]

well- there's always going to be pressure in a relationship. u cant run away from that. unfortunately, not all relationships are made in la la land. And yes, ppl do have baggage...

 

[SweetSeasons]

I don't think there is always going to be pressure in a relationship. Maybe i'm just laid back. I dunno.

 

[Kronkite]

ok- i mean there is bound to be pressure now and then... it's how u deal with it that is equally important. As the X-Files pplz put it "... The truth is out there...". After some time, the truth will come out, and can create pressure, i suppose.

Are we talking baggage from past relationships, cos man I have stories about that grrr

 

[miranda]

I have a lot of emotional baggage and i'm the first to admit it.
My boy has been the king of patient with me and has even managed to stay with me for over a year and talk about the future.
Baggage from past relationships and friendships stopped me from getting close to him at first but he earned my trust and now has it inexplicably.
Baggage from life makes our relationship hard but never too hard for either of us to give up.
Joint baggage from our relationship makes it hard but has made us stronger.

Baggage sucks ass.

BUT. I think I would be a different person if i hadn't gone through the shit that gave me a whole sleigh-ful of baggage.

It's interesting to wonder whether if i could go back and change circumstances and events so that i didn't gain this wonderful baggage (pfft) - would i have?

I dunno.

Anyone know what i mean? Or am i being cryptic?

I have no problem talking about baggage... but there are some things i hate.

1) When people assume another person has no baggage without knowing anything.
2) When people who have baggage (i mean everyone has some, just depends on whether its a whole container ship full or a little backpack) make out that its bigger than it is for attention or to seem more hard done by thus equating to being really "deep" while everyone else is "shallow" and "knows shit about having it rough".
3) When one person CONSTANTLY talks about their baggage without asking the other person jack.

Although people must hate me cos I use knowledge of other peoples baggage to psychoanalyse them.

Baggage can get in the way, but also it's got the possibilty to bring you closer together. If he has the patience and cares enough to work it out of you over time, the trust skyrockets. As long as it's not that over the top self-pity type baggage, in which case it's just attention seeking.

 

[Kronkite]

Firstly- why are u so bitter??? u seem stressed about something...
Secondly- is he supposed to just assume u hav baggage as well- because i think u shud tell him if u feel ur baggage is a problem, how wud he know otherwise?

This is directed to Beckiki

Gemita, you aren't a very smart person if you brand somebody with serious problems who needs to tallk to people to help deal with a sudden resurgence of the problems. You need to understand somebody before you can. Depression and Manic Depression are serious problems, you can't just stop yourself from being depressed with a flick of a switch. Depression makes you self pitying.
