I Cant Stand It

I can't stand it. vs. I can stand it. | WordReference Forums

Thus, by convincing yourself otherwise, you are not only preventing yourself from cleaning-up and checking that item off your to-do list, but you are also becoming more disturbed by the situation than need be. This similar sensation occurs when we force ourselves to engage in activities outside of our comfort zone. The discomfort we may feel before engaging in a new experience may actually be a lot worse than the situation itself.

For example, think of an individual who is very anxious about flying. The more he tells himself that he cannot stand the discomfort associated with flying, the greater the discomfort he experiences, and before he knows it he is avoiding flying to escape the feeling.

Can't Stand It

I would not try to argue that he should enjoy flying , which would be awfully rigid of me. Rather, I would ask him to consider that while he does not like to fly, and he may never actually enjoy it, he can tolerate it. It would not be logical to ask someone to feel something positive about an activity they find to be aversive; however, convincing oneself that he cannot stand it also defies logic and is not very helpful in helping one to achieve their goals. If so, you just proved that you are capable of handling it. Furthermore, question the logic of your cannots and examine whether or not these beliefs are helping you in the situation.

The more you tell yourself to avoid or escape the more important it is to jump in and face the discomfort head-on. A little dose of rational thinking can certainly do the mind some good.

He may not be a proclaimed Christian but I think this song is definitely about the mystery of God's love. I don't disagree that there is obviously frustration in what he is singing but i think the general message of the tune is not to break down faith.

Flag Chyea on January 18, General Comment lol at this song. General Comment Well, until reading these lyrics, I thought it went "Y'know loves random, it's God's love," so I thought he was talking about the lack of free will in the world. But now that I read them, it's pretty straight forward. Seems like he's angry at God because someone maybe him always prayers and does everything God asks, but something bad has happened to them. General Comment "No loves as random as God's love.

Review: Blossoms – ‘I Can’t Stand It’

It could be that he feels like a lot of good things happen for him and God is looking out for him, then he'll fall on hard times and wonder where God is to help him -- feeling like God's love is inconsistent and random. It could also mean that it seems like God blesses certain people endlessly, while leaving others to poverty, starvation, death etc. Retrieved August 5, The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits 8 ed.
