@MichaelJ,
One of the issues with Michael is that he uses any conversation with him by a woman to reinforce his sense of victimhood (and don't confuse a false sense of victimhood with the ingredients necessary to success, which incorporates much more)
The plain, cold, hard fact is - you are a victim of no one but your own mind (ie yourself). Compared to my brother who is a true victim, but is not one because he chooses not to be...your continued lie is shown in it's real light, and cannot be argued with...it is your attitude that makes you a victim, and nothing else.
You can make all the 'oh but he has...' excuses you like, and I will point out you still have arms, you still have legs, you still have functioning genitals. Get over your self pity.
You can pull out all the 'life is unfair' arguments you like, and I will show you people to whom life has been much more unfair, and yet they get on with it, and even succeed at it. The difference was in the attitude. Go about growing up and get over your self pity.
This is why I haven't bothered with responses for a while, and this will be the last response - you are using this forum not for help, but as a way to reinforce your false victimhood. I won't be part of creating a pathetic system of lies to yourself. Accept your flaws and failings, deal with your fears,grow up, and improve yourself.
