Manpeach

You rule, Manpeach! Thanks for bringing Mistress Zhao cupcakes - sounds like she really enjoyed them!

She ate one during our session. She told me sugar is one of her bad habits. She also said it makes her happy that we have these side conversations in addition to the forum

Sweet!

How about a punch?

Yes, that is more appropriate for Mr Bond

Bradley, I have really thought the same thing. When I read your threads and comments, I am always right there with you. Thank you!

TW. I think Phred also has many similar experiences with Mistress Zhao.

The lucky guy has a session today. Can't wait to read about it

I think you are right Bradley. ……..and Phred is a lucky bastard LOL

Also curious as to how Mistress Zhao got you to this self revelation ?

Hey Jack.. I believe there are a lot of us introverts out there faking it the best we can. Most importantly for me is to not feel bad about myself when I'm feeling introverted. Also, intentionally gearing myself for smaller group settings. I can't always do this but I don't have to say yes to go to every uncomfortable situation. I'm also making an effort to talk more, one on one, with strangers who also appear to be introverted.

During a time of self doubt, Mistress Zhao had consoled me with a quote from Miguel Angel Ruiz's "The Four Agreements". In studying these, i have been looking back through my life and analyzing the "judgements" I have made on myself. This introvert realization was a surprise sidebar to that process. Mistress Zhao is inspirational for me to be more in touch with my feelings and, maybe someday, opening up to others.

Gentle is the breeze

brushing sweet across my face-

Tear my hat off

HA!! Bradley, you have managed to capture my essence in a few select, poignant words!! A big reward awaits you

:-) Thank you Mistress Zhao, I can't wait for you to read your birthday poem

Thanks, my fuzzy little manpeach!!

Hi fuzzy little manpeach.

Thank you for that first paragraph, I found it to be most gratifying that my influence has created a whole new world of self-realization and actualization. I am also an introvert, and proud of it! That would be why I prefer the intimate setting of sessions as opposed to something like being a stripper (always with the sex work though!) and can totally relate to the idea that I thought I was extroverted, but am in fact the opposite. We have a lot of simil...

You have had a profound effect on my life, and many others I'm sure, Mistress Zhao.

And the thought of you performing as a stripper has me all up beside myself.

Thank you for sharing as well.

Hey Skeech, I just got hooked up to my Cardionet heart monitor. I wear this for a month before my next exam. Glad this didn't come last week. I would have given them some interesting readings for sure.

Still no Afib since T-day !

That is great news. Hoping for the best with the Cardionet.

Hey SK2, just finished the cardionet monitor. I did not have to record a single "event". My next DR appointment is March 26. I hoping the take me off the Sotolol and see how I do. I have been feeling great!

Jerry's doing a reunion Sienfeld ! and not like the Curb Your Enthusiasm kind where they played themselves. Jason Alexander will be playing George. Larry David is involved. that's all I know for now

Thanks for the info- I'll check it out!

The reunion was the Super Bowl commercial.

I'm disappointed.

Bradley, I'm not so rigid in my policing that I wouldn't understand what it's like to have just come out of surgery! But your cautiousness paid off, because now I have to find something else to give you a hard time about

Thnak you Mistress Zhao, I'm srue u'll fdn sumthin else 2 gvie me a hrad tmie aboat :-)

It seems that you're provoking me on purpose. tsk tsk tsk manpeach.

So happy to have finally met too! But that was just the tip of the iceberg, hopefully we will play more! :-) You are for sure in need of a "follow-up" ;-)

So, where do we go next ?

That's a good question. I think I'd like to continue making you cry until you bawl. Regressive therapy!

Whatever you say, you're the doctor!

Sometimes that is the case when opening windows, but sometimes, a little patience is needed for the adjustment. Especially if opening those windows is beneficial to your own peace of mind. So glad you've been reading this book and using its guidance for your own life!!! It makes me so happy to hear that from you, my little manpeach

I can't tell you enough how reading your response soothes me. My peace of mind does have to take a back seat for awhile, to see the longer term reaction to the window I've opened. Thank you for your guidance Mistress Zhao.

ALL ALONE! My poor fuzzy little manpeach!
