Yup, childish. Before recovery (and still to some extent), I really didn't like it when I didn't get my way. Didn't.Like.It.At.All......If a tantrum didn't work, I'd revert to my favorite , well learned, form of behavior. Manipulate, scheme and connive behind the scenes (God forbid I confront you directly), or withdraw completely.
*sigh* me too. I had a friggin’ meltdown two weeks ago over a woman who had no idea how I "felt" towards her. I literally felt as if I was in High School.
Do not mean to steal the thread (only for a sec)
I just love when our A's chime in.....it gives me such a good feeling to know that I was not crazy! (well maybe a tiny bit but not 100% LOL)
Thank you Glass, Astro, Mike and all the rest you guys are truly amazing!!
