It sounds as though you are the husbands just up and divorced the women because it was the women's fault.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-38429284881044383372016-08-20T09:33:48.141-04:002016-08-20T09:33:48.141-04:00Totally agree!

Once it's out of sight I suppose it's really easy to become bitter when in reality you've probably got it really, really good.rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-81542067184182580452016-08-20T09:08:32.615-04:002016-08-20T09:08:32.615-04:00Don't let them get you down!

I've honestly been shocked at how much rudeness (that's a mild word for it) I've encountered over the past two months, like really shocked but I really believe this, what I wrote. I really believe they are just miserable people. I feel bad for them but I'm not going to let them bring me down.rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-48151661970515330242016-08-20T08:59:09.449-04:002016-08-20T08:59:09.449-04:00Oh my goodness!

I mean, I've really been getting affected by these people but I just realized this, that it's not me, that I'm not going to let it be me. It is going to be hard I think to not let them get to me but I'm going to try.rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-10400889416029626002016-08-20T02:11:44.266-04:002016-08-20T02:11:44.266-04:00Good for you.

I say this, but find it hard to practice. Had a coworker invite me to lunch & then spend 30 minutes detailing all of the things they think are wrong with how I do my job.

Totally the same here with the "work in progress." I'm going to try and tell myself every time I start feeling hurt that it's not me, they are clearly just going through something. That doesn't mean I'm going to be immune but I am going to try. It's just really been getting to me and I'm not going to let it any longer. I can't.rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-72780733057373091312016-08-19T18:49:01.291-04:002016-08-19T18:49:01.291-04:00I totally agree and I'm the same-- I've ta...I totally agree and I'm the same-- I've taken other people's misery-spreading toxicity extremely personally many times (I used to teach private music lessons at a few music schools and while I adored the children, many parents made me go crazy at times) only to realize later that they most likely weren't carrying out a personal vendetta against me but, rather, were just miserable people in general. I'm not one to revel in other's misfortune, but it actually happened to be that most of the individuals who made me miserable (mostly the mothers of my students) were, years later, divorced by their spouses. I felt incredibly sad for my students, yet at the same time, wasn't really shocked.<br />So...yeah; I'm always telling myself that it's more important how I conduct myself when someone is rude or mean. And then I count my blessings:) <br />P.S. It's a work in progress...by no means does this attitude come easily to me as I'm a very sensitive person. But I'm trying and learning every day!Gabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15608557927365730961noreply@blogger.com
