Here is a personal message I wrote in the last hour. Not to anyone here -- elsewhere on the Internet.


QUOTE Hi honey maybe try Sunday or Monday using the google service you mentioned. I recently tried to use that and I didn't understand how to use their recovery system. As I mentioned to you my ability level is very slow to learn new technologies and it is extremely emotionally frustrating to try to use technologies where my ability is low. Rather than feel horrible and upset emotionally because I am not competent to do it, I simply use other alternatives. I cannot get paypal to work technically for me so I gave up on that one forever. Whether I can get google chat to work for me remains to be seen but I did not have the emotional strength to try and tackle this difficult technical issue last night. I am fine emotionally with facebook and skype honey. I am super with languages -- I am not so good with many technical things and this is very emotionally frustrating for me so usually I simply avoid it for my calmness, happiness, and peace of mind. UNQUOTE

Does anyone else here ever feel similar feelings ? The world unfortunately usually rewards competence and strength in all areas and often this tendency is rather emotionally difficult for some people including me.

I am expert in many things but just horribly incompetent in other areas so to stay usually happy, usually I simply give up on those things that I am incompetent at and give me emotional frustration. Happiness is much better for me than emotional frustration from lack of some technical comoetence so usually I just avoid many technical things in my work life and social life. So I usually stay happy. xx

Hugs,
Jennifer

Usually any kind of technical difficulty you encounter has been encountered by someone else.

So with a few keywords solutions should be able to be found.

Keywords on google search like:
how to
then maybe recover ... etc ...
usually lead to step by step instructions, often also with pictures.

I'd agree that often the instructions by the services themselves are either not sufficient or difficult to find.

Often there are also better solutions by other providers.
Integrated solutions like google may not offer the most easiest to handle solutions.
So looking for a better solution elsewhere may be an idea.
Keywords like
best chat
etc may be a good idea.

Don't these things usually have help functions or someone on staff you can speak to to talk you through it? I know Paypal does.
