Title: Responding To His Logical Argument/Critique Post by: Amber3 on May 11, 2015, 10:24:40 AM It’s been a few years since my r/s with my exUBPD. We’ve maintained very LC over the years, online and belong to the same writing site where we can put our writing up to be critiqued.
Okay, so I critiqued something of his (along with many other people), all went well. I put up something and he & others weighed in on it and I made some changes. However, he just critiqued it again and it reads like he’s annoyed that I won’t make certain connections by using a particular word to “help the reader”. He says that frustrates him. He says things like: “using your logic”, and to “google the word”, because he did and found nothing to suggest what I had stated it could be... . This all brings me back to those circular, logical arguments of “yesteryear” that I had no chance with... .argh! I always wondered how I'd react to things after being here and learning all that I did about BPD and I do see that he is trying to be helpful. :) I also see he truly is frustrated. As a writer, I don't want to frustrate people... .lol... .but it is my creative piece. He stops himself and says, “Okay, enough, please don’t hate me.” and says he wants my writing to be instinctual and I’m such a great writer, think of him as a semi-intelligent devil’s advocate and wants me to be writing from my “core.” This is on a public forum, just like this one. How do I possibly respond? |
