I think some women in my world seem just as intent on working my last nerve as much as some women in my past. I think I've been doing pretty good at fielding those attempts to work my last nerve these days. I think back on several occasions in my past where I lost it in response to women just going there, and although I understand why I lost it on those occasions, I still regret it. I'm older, I'm on a good psych med, I don't drink, which would affect my mood, and I've come up with some good coping techniques to the adversarial stances so many women seemed intent on taking towards me over these last fourteen years or so. Namely, I've learned to back off of women and regroup. I've set limits on how often I'll approach a woman I'm interested in. I can let things just go by the wayside if they aren't receptive to my approaches to them for social reasons. All that coping stuff is as important as the good psych med and the abstinence from alcohol. I guess I should just anticipate certain women in my world wanting to go there on me in the upcoming days and weeks and months, and that I can just see these occasions as opportunities to put right certain behaviors and responses from my past.
