For some reason, I am feeling grumbly and like I need to spew.
Well, actually, I do know *why* I am feeling this way. But it got me to thinking, especially after watching Grey's Anatomy last sunday.
The theme was 'saying your piece'...saying what you need to say...spilling how you really feel.
A man on the show was dying and felt he needed to get some things off his chest...tell people from his past how he really felt about what they did to him.
Derrek needed to release his anger at Addison and the guy she had the affair with.
Dr. Burke needed to spew his feelings about how Cristina was handling things in their relationship.
O'Malley needed to finally let Merideth know how he really felt.
They had to say their piece.
The patient made it through a surgery where his odds were slim. Did he make it because he 'released' stuff that he had had bottled up for so long?
Is it good to spew once in a while?
I am always shocked by those who spew a lot on their blogs...(I could link to one now, but I'll be nice)
Then there are those who like to always be aggressive and spew to get their way. As a retail manager, I hated those customers. They would come in all ruffled up and be mean, thinking they would get a break or discount. I always tried not to give in to those types (unless their anger was valid) Instead, I found those who came in and used niceness and politeness to be the ones I catered to.
I was taught years ago in therapy to be assertive, don't let people walk all over you, set your boundries. OK, so I did...and suddenly I had enemies. It's a fine line and I don't know...I think that being nice is way better.
There is someone in the family who likes to be mean and aggressive...I'm hoping when she gets older she'll see its not always the best policy because frankly, not many of us like her much.
So, I guess what I'm wondering is...should I use this platform to spew and get all of this crap I'm feeling out? What if it hurts someone?
Does it really help? I do believe all illnesses and anger stems from junk we don't deal with that manifests into dis-ease....and we need to deal with things before they manifest into something more complicated. But, is being so aggressive the answer?
What do you think? What do you do when you need to say your piece? Do you use your blog as a spewing platform? What consequences have you had doing so?
