I'm feeling a little insecure and exposed right now just I just acted out.
My natural reaction is to "take control" andgo into a funk (internal control) or smoke (external control).
I dont want to be on defense the whole day.
But after acting out,I feel so exposed (being as i just let go of control).
I need chizzuk.
I dont want to be in defense mode all day.
I want to be fragile!

Any idea what set this off?
Perhaps figuring that out will help you retain the 'fragile'?
You are really doing great Uri!
Hold on to the vulnerability;
you are in a safe place,
with safe people who care and are here for you as you know.
There are no bulls in this china shop and
You are a cosily cacooned pupa
about to become a butterfly!
(Perhaps Eye will lend you his avatar for a day!)

The best thing to do is probably to FORGET ABOUT IT.

There's definitely what to learn from a fall, but not while your mind is telling you, "hey, you just messed up! Aren't you so awful!"

Wait it out a day or two, or even a week or two. Just try to get on with things. Pretend like it didn't happen.

After your mind settles, then you can go back and do your ferensics to analyze what went wrong, and how to prevent it in the future.

Ok.This is quite hard for me to say,but I must anyway.
People have been telling me that I've been too intense on the forum.
Also,I sense in myself this annoyance sometimes when I go through the forum.
I was aware the whole time that it comes from a need for some control and stability.
But until now I didn't realize the extent.
Chatai ani mazkir hayom...

As I work with rav shlachter on trying to let go of my various controls and "securities",I find myself desperate at times for any form of security.
My desire for an emotional connection with a woman is stronger than it has been in a long time.
And this desperation showed itself on the forum,too.
As this is one of my biggest places of security,I sometimes hold on too much.
I find myself spending an abnormal amount of time on the forum,and sensing any "controls" on the forum very acutely.
And I have responded in kind.I have so strongly wanted to ensure this place of security that I have been too strong minded and even confrontational at times,all to feel secure.
I so badly want to be sure that I am headed in the right direction that I have pushed my shitta too strongly at times,just to feel that my path is correct for me.
As I sensed this,I tried taking a step back,but I found leaving this place of security a little too difficult.
So from now on,I will try to let go of this need to control and hear people out more,without feeling too threatened.
Alas,Rome was not built in a day,but I shall try my hardest.

My love to all
-Uri
