Horribly Stilted
By Betsy Richter | 10:00 amSo. There’s been a bunch of stuff going on that I: Cannot. Talk. About. And it’s driving me completely, absolutely, batshit.
Because I *want* to talk about it. I think it might benefit someone else, you see. Or it might be cathartic — relieve some of the pressure that’s building up (oh, yes, it’s building up) in a way that’s guaranteed to blow soon. At the very least, it’d save me from telling what seems like the same story over and over and over again, or giving updates to the many caring people in my life who want updates.
But I know I can’t. Talk, that is. I’m either going to violate someone else’s privacy, do it in a completely inappropriate way, share too much information, or open myself up in ways that will End Badly — for me, for the people I’m involved with. Or my job. Or my family. Or some unnamed stranger out there who might, god forbid, Take Offense.
I’ve tried finding other outlets. But even the slightest bit of release boomerangs back in unforeseen ways (“She’s reading my Twitter stream? Even though she’s not on Twitter? Really???? Um, okay…”)
So instead, I sulk. Stifle myself. Let it build up inside.
And then, I get sick.
Can someone pass me a Kleenex, please? Thanks…

That’s so cute–you have your own stalker!

Oh man oh man oh man, so understanding this. Oh the things I WANT to talk about. Hate that. Urgh. Hope it resolves soon without the need for too many more Kleenexes.

PAgent – my stalkers are legion, dude!
MizD – the Kleenex is for the cold I finally caught from both kids…

Sounds miserable. Hope all is resolved soon!

I know EXACTLY what you are going through. I try to be vague in my blog, and I too have a person who reads it expressly to be annoyed by it. Good luck.
