Take the Stone Out

[Maisy]

I went 24 hours without telling others any opinions. I kept them all to myself. It was very peaceful. The people in my life get very aggressive and angry if I mention an opinion. I'm learning to not tell them. Like I bought some mango shampoo. I used it and it smelled like passion fruit this time. I think the company that made it must have ran out of mango scent. I was going to tell someone but then I was aware they would aggressively tell me I was wrong and belittle me in some way. Karma has put some interesting people in my life.

If someone asked me what I thought of them as a person, yea I would not honestly touch that question with a 10 foot pole. I've learned to tell them what they want to hear. They don't really believe you, but it makes them happy and they smile. Tell them they are right about everything, that they are sweet and kind and beautiful, cute, thin, and look very young.

For some reason, that seems very relevant!

Thanks.

Those people have a name - Contrarians.
I lol - If I say I like a red car they will say something bad about red.
If I say the sky is blue ..they will say, Well, not really...it's a combo of all diff colors.
Why say anything around them!?

Yep I’ve learnt to do the same Miss H. Ha

When they talk to me and tell me about their opinions I just go……yeah yeah to everything! Yeah yeah is such a great answer and they LOVE IT. They then walk away feeling very happy with themselves and I walk away feeling “phew, that saved a few hours work” LOL

TOO funny!
I learned to agree to most everything taking care of my mom, 88, with Dementia...talking about things from 30 years earlier
as if they happened today ...
"You got the piano, right, are you taking care of it?"
She sold that thing for $$ to gamble with when she moved to Las Vegas!
"Yeah, mom, I love it, thank you!"

Ha ha. Love it Miss H.

Bluediamond56 - I am a certified graphologist (handwriting analyst) and wrote up a report on a friend's handwriting. I reported what I found and she didn't like what I said. She said I could be nicer, more compassionate, etc. in my delivery. Perhaps, I was new to the field then, but in the end she said that she just didn't want to hear the truth about herself because it was too painful.

Yep i know what you mean blackraven. I’m a bit too blunt at times which can get me into all kinds of trouble. I’ve learnt that it isnt what we say is the problem but the way we say it.

I guess I just like people to be straight with me and get to the point so I automatically assume that others feel the same.

As the ol saying goes “never assume” LOL

Yes, some like to call a spade a spade. Whereas others (such as myself) prefer to call a spade a manual digging implement.

Peace
