Re: Give yourself a break, my friend

Where did you read that I said or implied that persons who cut themselves are JUST cutters? Persons who drink excessively are said to be alchoholics, people who suffer from narcissistic personality disorder are called narcissists, people who fix wood products are called capenters, people who fix pipes are called plumbers, people who practice medicine are called physicians, people who commit delinqunt acts are called delinquents, people who cheat are called cheaters, people who are males with chldren are called fathers.

So now, to be consistent, you will have to reprimand anyone who refers to someone as an alcoholic, a narcissist, a carpenter, a plumber, a physician, a delinquent, a cheater, or a father....and so on and so on.

To be rational about your criticms of me, you must now complain that if anyone calls someone any of these things that means the person is saying these persons is NOTHING BUT an alcholic, narcissist, carpenter, plumber, physician, delinquent, cheater, father... and so on.

Do yourself a favor. Go easy on yourself. Your capacity for criticism is working overtime. Usually persons who are hypercritical like this turn that criticism on themselves sooner or later. So give your overworked critical tendency a rest. You deserve better treatment than that, and so do I.
