That isn't correct, there are whole persecutions based on that principle, for instance, someone can take or be given medicines/drugs which make you feel better or worse. Someone could hit me and make me feel worse, the doctor could fix me up and make me feel better.
Words can have a similar impact.

There's a chance, but you have to promise to stop being so pushy.
I don't have to promise anything sister. Now I see the real person behind your mask. You are the controlling one here.
I will say yet more prayers that you be less controlling.
Sorry if I upset you. But sometimes pain is the only way we learn.

If you're referring to what @Grailhunter said it's fine,.. he has a point. He was only showing me some tough love.

April there are people here that like you. Ya get tough love from me, believe you me, you are going to know it. Sometime people are speaking out on a soap box and acting all holier than thou. Take it with a grain of sand and move on.

No I was refering to the use of "reverse psychology". Basically people who may not take responsibility for their words or actions and try to say we are responsible for how people make us feel. While that concept may hold some truth, it does not always especially when cruel words or actions are used against someone, not that it is happening like that, but I wanted to make it clear, that peoples words/actions can be harmful.

A little dig at me sir?
Snarkiness the best way to survive here is it?
Dear Lord, the amount of sin on this forum, just blows my mind.

If you don't like it here then why don't you just go ahead and leave us alone and then leave and find a new forum?

Persecution complex Ahhh! I do not know you and have not been following your posts.
So all you can accuse me of is not paying attention.
So if you have a point to make...make it now. Now you have my attention.

If someone is making personal attacks then report them, but yeah, move on if not is wise, I take breaks too which helps when people get too judgmental with me :)

Think about that one.
That's the most common sin on internet forums.
Because people don't want to get in trouble for direct attacks.
I hate that sin.
Because it's deception personified. It's sneaky. It's snake like. It's deliberately vague .
And most of all. It's pathetic.
Pathetic like this drama queen thread, whose author has a little episode and wants to vent.
"I'm a queen. And I can do whatever I like"
I've seen three of her venting threads in 4 days. So we roll the red carpet out for her?





You know what I'm not going to let you get to me anymore and most everybody here will disagree with you anyways and as soon as a staff member sees what you've written about me it won't be pretty. I'm taking the high road here,.. have a nice night. :)
