[QUOTE="soberups, post: 773709, member: 14668"] When I was a little boy and my sister said something that annoyed me, I would stick my fingers in my ears and scream out "Na-Na-Na-Na, I cant hear you" at the top of my lungs. I did this because I lacked the maturity and restraint to decide for myself what I would and would not listen to. I also did this because, on some level at least, I was afraid that my sister might be right about what she was saying and that the truth might be too uncomfortable for me to handle. So I needed to at least [I]pretend[/I] that I wasnt hearing it so that I would not have to take any responsibility for it...even though my curiosity made me keep one ear uncovered. Certain posters rely upon the "ignore" feature for the same reason. They have not yet developed the maturity to choose for themselves what they will respond to or how they will respond to it. Nor do they have the self-confidence to detach themselves from any concern about what others might be saying or thinking about them, they instead feel compelled to obsess over and manage what others are and are not allowed to say. I am glad that I finally grew out of my childish phase. I hope that others have the chance to do so also. [/QUOTE]
