Why Can't I Stop Reliving a Recent Confrontation? 'What I Should've-Said' ...

Even while I'm sitting here, writing responses to fellow myLotters; I'll suddenly 'respond' (talk to a past disagreement with someone in my memory) with a clever retort that I should've levied: telling that security-officer, 'I know, I own this "private property!"'; telling some Bible-beating Jesus-freak, "Jesus was a Muslim. 'Submitting to the Will of G-d?' That is THE LITERAL MEANING of the word "Islam"'; asking some church-leader, 'If it's G-d's Will that a man should not be alone, WHY HASN'T MY WOMAN FOUND ME?'; etc.
Can't I just forget about those past/possible-future arguments? How?

I think it is because you are a sensitive man. All I can suggest is to try to forget it. I know it will be hard but try.
Your mate and you will find each other. But unless she is a traveling salesperson , you won't meet if you are stuck in the house! Go get out and do something you like to do!

I do, but somehow they're not conducive to 'getting me a wife'!
That was one of the MAIN reasons I kept on 'going to church' when I became "different"---because I thought--of ALL places--that would be the place that would WANT to see me married; but no! 'Giving ME a fulfilling, satisfying, peaceful life' is usually the LAST thing on anyone's mind.
I've had better luck (scored with a few beautiful ladies) at the neighborhood Karaoke-bar! (But that crowd is obviously not as family-focused as future-spouses ought to be.)
I guess that's how I should "change" to 'prove' that I'm ready for marriage---not so much 'change' as 'shift focus' ... focusing more on 'serving my place in the family' than on 'whatever I was focusing on before ("having fun," I think).'
That includes changes in 'what I usually do (myLot ... maybe making more 'family man'-discussions)' AND in 'children's story at my Church-Fellowship' (where I might need to be more like 'a father giving his children advice' than like 'a fun uncle telling his nieces & nephews how scary the world is').
Sound good?

I think you can do whatever you want to do. As for being kid friendly? I have no idea how to do that.

That's not it. Well ... I CAN do whatever I want to do, but only with the trust of the right people.
That's it; I want to be President of the United States, but I want that office changed into a "phantom" office---i.e. one with no definite location, and people won't even recognize me as President ... public-addresses will be given in a 'Big Brother'-way (as in George Orwell's 1984).
Laws are more like 'guidelines,' to be enforced by the organized parties. And safety will be insured by 1) near-hypnotic media-stuffing with the Two Principles of Jesus--Love G*d Above All & Love Your Neighbor as Part of Yourself--& 2) the organized parties' policing the misguided souls who evade being indoctrinated by the Two Principles.
That's the plan, and it doesn't even matter if I'M the President who uses it!

hehe i think it is but normal. sometimes we talk and immediately react to a conversation only to realize we shouldn't have said something, or that we should have said different things. i think i have had my shares of such a moment as well and sometimes it frustrates me, or worries me too that it could get me in trouble. hehe

I think it bothers you because you might be disappointed in the way you handled things. I used to worry about things I could have or would have said in certain situations but then I learned that 'hind sight is 20/20' and in a similar situation, you will know exactly what to say and do.
I wouldn't worry so much about past confrontations, sometimes the people you think about in your past, really don't matter as much as the ones in your future.
