cedar_grove The beginning of March is the time when I start a program of 'self-improvement' a big part of which, for me at least, is a rejection of negativity. What that looks like for me is twofold, a) in and from others, and b) in myself.
I reached my limit yesterday - having wasted almost an ENTIRE week so far arguing with someone that simply WILL not see anything outside of their own sphere of self. Their own feelings (for which they will not take responsibility), their own opinion, their own EVERYTHING.
And here's the stupidest part of all... I put up with it. I let them do it, and I let it affect me. Well... no more. I can't. It's leaving me exhausted and despairing of myself for allowing someone to be so bloody passive-aggressive and controlling. Seriously. No more.
Driving in to work today I came up with what I labelled an 'irritated-inspirational' It went something like this: "Remember, the only thing that people who go through life with their head stuck up their arse get, is a dirty face!"
This is probably unkind, but at least it's honest.
