Ever have "mixed feelings", ambivalence, indifference...lets discuss

[The Phoenix]

Diving in to subjects like these without a strong base does a disservice to you. FYI.

Let me just say that given your history on here as someone with emotional problems, you might be stuck in this dissonant purgatory all your life, that is if you don't learn how to "man up" and accept the contradictions you make as part of living life in a complex world. Disregard your natural instinct to take a side on something and polarize yourself; which is hard because that's pretty much all you've ever done on here - reach out and grab on to an idea or institution and define yourself by it. Forget all that, you, whether you like or not, are more complex than that and living the way you currently do has/is/will cause you pain and strife.

Actually I haven't viewed the porn section in a while so keep reaching.  Your post isn't interesting because it's just you discussing the teenage angst which still consumes you.  You try make it appear as if you're discussing a different topic, which you hope disguises the fact you are still crying out for help.  Is this thread really about psychology or is about how you are stuck in a perpetual state of arrested development ?

Yeah, your right, only teenagers and immature adults experience angst, right?  And what do indifference and ambivalence have to do with maturity anyway?   These are emotions anybody could feel at any time at any age; it doesn't mean you have an arrested development.
