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*
Go confess for being stuck in the middleschool mindest *insert tongue out emoticon here*

Re: Persecution complex...

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

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

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.



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

CRUCIFY Them

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

Everyone wins.

Good heavens. You're unreal.
