Persecution complex...
 
Anyone know how these should be dealt with when they are encountered?

I feel that you are threatening me by your question. I wasn't bothering anyone when suddenly you post a whole brand new thread singling me out and attacking me for no other reason than the pureness of my heart and my just motives.

I am thankful that I am not as others, whose compromise and infidelity to truth you can so easily ignore, but the righteousness of my cause has instead kindled such a flame of oppression within you that you have chosen to assault the moral ramparts of my integrity with the machinations of your lusty desires to do violence to my innocent person and thus bespoil the goodness that my name has heretofore caused to blossom in the tender hearts of the meek and lowly who will one day rise up against your determined and willful wrong doing and redeem my honor so that I may once again tread upon the green and fertile fields of peace.

I have a hard time being patient with whiners. Even if they're my own kids. My response is usually to turn on my heel and walk away. Especially if it's one of my kids. :toofunny

I wonder what Jesus would do? Probably not that.... :coffee2

Well, assuming Jesus could wear heels, and assuming he could pull the 180 degree heel spin move off as smoothly as you... I imagine his response could be very similar to yours... He would probably strut away differently than you though... it would probably be a little more high and mighty knowing that he sits on the right hand of God while your strut is probably more like... yea my Holy Magic Hair is goina cast a spell on you...

Well that would definately put an end to the persecution complex... but I was hoping to have somewhat of a less disfigured person left after we are done.

:D This is GREAT! I ♥ it. Way to put your feelings on your sleeve and watch them run down your arm...(okay, that sentence is about to get awkward, so I'll just cut myself off midway!)

Also, I ♥ that I've figured out how to make those little ♥'s. It makes me happy. Happier than your post, actually, and I mean that in the worst possible way. *insert arched eyebrow emoticon here*

I know how to do the hearts too! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ (copy/paste!!!!) :heeheehee And the old school *tongue out emoticon* is :P the new version is :nahnah

Anyway, this has been a fun thread. Pel, have you had practice, or a lot of observation time? :haloplug

I don't know what to do with people with persecution complexes. Some seem to enjoy being persecuted so much, it is difficult to get them to relinquish their martyred stance through any means. Personally, I've come to a point of thinking it may be best just to ignore them. They might enjoy their martyrdom less if they didn't have an audience. I can't stop others from listening to them, but I don't have to lend them my hanky.

I think ignoring it may be the best option. In fact I think if they aren't feeling persecuted then they feel something is wrong and subconsciously attempt to create persecution.

Yep, I agree. They feel something is wrong because they are supposed to be hated of the world... or they feel something is wrong because they aren't the center of attention and their daycare mentality is offended.

:nahnah

I'm persecuting you by posting this face again... :heeheehee

CRUCIFY Them

They'll be happy because they were vindicated, and your problem will be gone.

Everyone wins.

In answer to the original question, personally, I ignore them. :bigbaby

I have just had too much garbage to deal with in my life to have the patience to deal with people like that. I actually have to avoid/ignore a whole lot of people who create problems for themselves and live their lives like it is one big drama. I don't have time to waste on that kind of nonsense...

Possibly NOT the most Christ like approach, but it helps to keep me from killing people. And that is good, right? :largehalo

No, no, I was saying "You're unreal" in a way of admiration, that he could just spew that out to be funny. :rooting

There you go,pelathais! Someone posted the other day, that run on sentences was one thing that upset them on AFF and I responded and now you go and post this lonnnnnnnng, tiring, exasperating, infuriating, ridiculous, over stated, unnecessary sentence. When I finished reading it I was out of breath. You did it just to show us. Now you post and think you're so intelligent, I want to see you diagram the long sentence above. Come on! if you're gonna use them then show us you can diagram them! You know, English class, diagram! :ursofunny :ursofunny :foottap :ursofunny :foottap :ursofunny :nah
