Good Evening Guess What,
You're still doing it! Your defending the Person you are who is making you miserable. When your mother and your sister, God Bless them, say you need a Mental Cure, well, don't you? Why are you fighting them. Why are you taking offense? You should be agreeing with them. Say, "yeah, I'm working on it. I got a few self help books in the mail. You guys have any ideas". Instead, you encourage an Internal Dialogue that tells yourself how hurt and offended you are. You need to start stepping in and changing the way you think. Rethink the way you are used to thinking. Its not serving a purpose. Now as for your stupid low life friends, well, if that is the kind of people you want to hang around with because it is so terrible to be alone and read a book, then you have to get into a mental place where you don't give a damn what those idiotic clowns do. Think about how stupid you are to care about anything that those morons do or say? You should walk around with an easy going grin on your face and smile at all of their antics like you are the only human being in the room and they are all just a bunch of frisky circus animals frisking with each other. Nothing they say or do should matter to you one way or another. If you should care, then only care insofar as you can figure out how to manipulate them. You know how they have been screwing with your head? Well, you have been like a Chess Player that has only been on the defense, making counter moves. If you can depersonalize all of this and calm down and think, then you can turn the tables and figure out how to screw with them, manipulate them. But, perhaps, these people already realize that nothing any of their stupid friends say matters. Maybe they are already immune, the way you should be. Stop letting yourself think as though you are being insulted and victimized all the time. The trick to being easy going is to just stop caring. No one is making you feel hurt and victimized. You are doing all of that yourself. Shakespeare, the English Dante, had said "nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so". You're biggest problem is how you think about things.
I honestly don't want to hear you self justifying anymore. You cannot progress with your New Self if you are constantly defending the old. You know, if you want, there are probably a lot of websites where you can go and cry about how everybody is mean to you and get a lot of sympathy. But if you are here, then get serious about the program.
