Do you do it? Do you realise you're doing it? Do you worry you're doing it but carry on in case you're wrong?
Also... is it animal cruelty if the horse was dead when you found it?
(The last horse mentioned was literal. The first one is metaphorical. Just to be clear) |

I'm assuming this is the metaphorical one...
Are you a flogger at all then? |

"Metaphorically I do. But where is the cross over between flogging a dead horse and determination to reach your goal.
Edison and inventing light bulbs comes to mind.  "
This is a good point. I guess it depends on the metaphorical horse. |

Yes metaphorical, I hope all examples are 
I flog but if I can see that it'll get me nowhere I stop.  |

I have Addictive Personality Disorder so if I enjoyed flogging it at first I continue to flog it .
Eventually something else will come along and I will flog that instead.
I have no feelings towards it. It’s just something I do |

Depends on what it is to be honest. Something such as friendships I will allow to slide if I feel that it's not a joint effort on both our sides. Work is probably a dead horse but I can't help but keep trying. |

It's circumstantial.
In terms of people, possibly. I have an unwavering optimism, too soft with those who I know and care about to give up at the first hurdle. But is it flogging a dead horse? I don't know. Maybe to outsiders. Maybe sometimes the horse is in a deep sleep through external factors but appreciates a bit of flog of care. Sometimes I'll just let the horse be and accept it, embrace my happy with a stallion and a mare or two who are alive.
On here if conversations run their course I think it is what it is. Nothing is permanent and people are ever changing. I am constantly. And too lazy to keep coming up with lacklustre horse references. |

Oh this is usually the case, I’ll talk to pretty much anybody but it’s usually me starting or carrying on the conversation which then leads to me thinking their just being polite and don’t want to tell me to do one |

"If the horse is dead already might as well do some flogging practice.
Opportunity finds itself in the most strange of places. "
Good point. That's the kind of silver lining I like. |

Hmm. Sleeping horse. That's a thought. As opposed to actually dead.

That's often how I feel. But then I don't know if it is my insecurity and self doubt telling me that. Especially when they randomly pop up and surprise me once in a while. |

It wasn't a competition with my knowingly lacklustre efforts.

The reward must be there for me to fight for it.
If it's a maybe, or no idea what the outcome will be, my brain says nope.
I don't mind not getting a reward, as in it doesn't damage me mentally, but I don't like using up precious energy- be it physical or mental-as I have very little to waste now.

My marriage was a dead horse q few years in.
I used up all my energies trying to drag, coax and beat it with a stick before giving up after 30 years.

I think it’s harder when somebody messages out of the blue and their trying to keep a conversation going so they don’t seem boring… totally not speaking from experience |

"It's one of my faults sometimes I should just learn to walk away but I have a "don't give up" sort of attitude to life  "
That's a positive spin on it! |

"Metaphorically I do and often don’t realise I am… as for the real dead horse I can’t say I’d be flogging one of those
Once you realise, do you stop or continue?
Normally I’ll stop usually around the time it becomes a one sided conversation and I’m getting two word responses
What if you're getting chatty responses, but you're the one who has to start the conversation each time?
Oh this is usually the case, I’ll talk to pretty much anybody but it’s usually me starting or carrying on the conversation which then leads to me thinking their just being polite and don’t want to tell me to do one
That's often how I feel. But then I don't know if it is my insecurity and self doubt telling me that. Especially when they randomly pop up and surprise me once in a while.
I think it’s harder when somebody messages out of the blue and their trying to keep a conversation going so they don’t seem boring… totally not speaking from experience "
Oh jesus. Now I'm worried that's how it comes across... |

"I feel like I'm flogging a dead horse on here everytime, but I keep going hoping one day I'll meet my goal.
Is it the same horse each time though?"
No I do try different horses. Don't want to hurt the same horse over and over, that'll be creul |

I’m sure your fine in regards to that, I think especially on here guys have to try that bit more because of the amount of messages women get, it’s understandable that women don’t want to put a lot into a message when their getting hundreds a day |

"I find flogging a horse to be cruel and tiresome so I’ve given up
Harsh!
Flog me instead
If you insist
Promises promises
Step this way you
That's a lot of steps. Meet you in the middle

"All the time but I say follow your bliss and do what makes you happy I’d rather bask in my own failure happy than to be chasing something that don’t make me happy and be a success x
So flogging a dead horse makes you happy sometimes?"
Absolutely I’m always pushing the boulder up the stairs every day |

"Yes and no.
I can be very stubborn and just won't give in.
I can also be very distracted
Like a magpie with something shiny?
One that sees another shiny thing and drops the first shiny thing? Yep
There is a hell of a lot of that about!"
Attention span of a gold . . . . . .
Oh look, a castle |
