Ann Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I thought I'd steal this question from Oprah... How do you deal with disappointment? Do you bounce right back like a ball or do you land with a big thud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I bottom out, boom, big thud. But I pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again. I hate to be unhappy. Somehow I have learned to move unhappy stuff to the back of my mind someplace. Someday you may find me in a big puddle of gloom and doom. Notice I have used boom, doom and gloom in this post. Must be my day for oom sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 it would depend on the level of the event and my involvment in said event. If I am "disappointed" in the way I performed or handled a situation, then I get angry with myself and will work harder to improve. If I have little to do with the outcome, no reason to be down about something you can not control. (like the Tennessee Women's basketball team loosing) So I would say I am a bounce back person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 I land with a thud but then get up and start bouncing. Sometimes, it tales longer for the bounce to begin but I do manage to get over it and move on. with my job and my boss, it seems like I have to do this every day...lol!

Jyoung20 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I usually hit with a thug and then fight all the way back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 If the thuds left a mark, I would be blak and blue, but the bounces must removed them, so I keep bouncing back at a different speed for different disappointments. Don't know if I make sense for others, but I do understand what I want to say. xo Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Thud! A big thud. I stay down there for awhile and eventually I pick myself back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 big thud. LOUD thud. disappointment is the hardest emotion for me, worse than fear or anger. obviously, I bounce eventually. but boy, do I thud. it's actually something I wish I could change about me...

Geri Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I'm in the oom, pa pa, group. Land with a thud and a few choice words then I'm back upon my feet real quick. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carleen Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Resounding Thud, followed by dragging sounds as I drag that heavy weight and burden around with me for days before I can give it up and try and claw my way back to a happier heart.

tnmynatt Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Sometimes I bounce, sometimes I THUD. I think I'm bouncing right now, but I'm looking for the thud and hoping I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
