There are some of us who constantly whine...we have the same line
and over and over we dump on our friends looking for reassurance
and positive feedback. It seems like it is happens in Notes and
the longer I read, the more I realize that some Noters are never
going to be happy, find love or resolve their problems.
I like people for what they are and I can see good in these people
but I get real tired of listening to their self-pity.
I am not looking for an answer...I can be a whiner...I am just
reminding myself how unappealing it is!

RE: .0 I think that there are a number of people who fall into the rut of being social 'hypochondriacs'. They have a problem crisis in their lives, and they become struck on the their behavior during the crisis. Once the crisis is over, thier 'crisis behavoir' continues. They no longer know how to live a normal life; they only know how to live in a crisis. And if there isn't a crisis handy, they create one. Lots of these people are work-aholics. Then there is "The Treadbare Excuse" from "The Phantom Tollbooth", a juvinile book that every adult should read. The Excuse spends it's life riding on otheer people's backs muttering "It's not *my* fault... The bus was late... The page was torn out... I was sick... The dog ate it... ..." Jim. | |||||

The biochemical part of this social scientist says - ah, ha. It's
those endorphines again (or their kin), where the hormonal effect of
the crisis becomes addictive. The body generates the chemicals that
enable the individual to handle the stress. The individual gets
addicted to the attention and fears the independence growth from crisis
brings the rest of us.
I'll take the freedom, Master Jack.
