To add to the confusion were numerals 2 and 4 appearing out of the blue in the text of your comment, and words like duzn't. Just kidding :)<BR/><BR/>Good that you find an exit out of your vicious circle. I understand your realization that helped you out, it is great! I too found one, as mentioned in my latest post <A HREF="http://ramblingmutterings.blogspot.com/2009/03/ashes-rashez.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>, though it did not involve much effort from my side directly to get out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00486763174881131657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32969039.post-65280146575666662132009-02-03T11:29:00.000+05:302009-02-03T11:29:00.000+05:30Cool...so now you have started writing reading com...Cool...so now you have started writing reading comprehension paragraphs...where are the 5 questions??<BR/><BR/>However, after careful reading I could comprehend the paragraph and you have depicted a very practical situation!<BR/><BR/>This is what consumes most of my day..huh what a complex life!!Amiya Shrivastavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934393301258391116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32969039.post-31958859871314611262009-01-26T14:17:00.000+05:302009-01-26T14:17:00.000+05:30O come on Ashes, pl do not apologize 4'being late'...O come on Ashes, pl do not apologize 4'being late', we all know tht this is4 pastime, after work, so its fine (I doit thse days 2compensate for not havng home/family anymore)(or 2combat boredom whn am laid up wth illness, like now ;) )<BR/><BR/>as4 choosing my own time-place 4death, without community at large screaming 'suicide' at me/my people,demeaning, insulting a <STRONG>decision</STRONG>, gve it some thought re-wrote what I'd posted earlier, with links to content tht made me think of it laterally, n now feel this atleast duzn't land me in a vicious circle, I guess I could swing it.

Everyone experiences that. Is it an outcome of those clashes of opinions on your blogs?<BR/><BR/>Your third point when you try to justify to yourself your compulsive behaviour is actually Cognitive Dissonance. It is a common problem in psychology and a large number of people are affected by it. One school of thought believes cognitive dissonance arises not because people have conflicting thoughts within themselves, but because they see their actions conflicting with their normally positive views of themselves. If what I think is right, I feel this is your case.Indigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698066836334729381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32969039.post-89757724706210519912008-12-10T11:44:00.000+05:302008-12-10T11:44:00.000+05:30So well written.
