I don't want to sound in any way like I am trying to big up myself because that would just be a joke. I'm the first to admit that I am in no way perfect.
With that said here is my beef with people in general... .
It just really gets to me sometimes when you try to greet everyone with a smile, offer a friendly gesture to those around you who are grumpy and miserable and also when you try to see the good in people instead of the negative, all the things my parents taught me, especially mi mum (may she R.I.P.).
Well that is all fine and good but when you end up having a bad day and don't greet those particular people with the usual smile or offer that friendly positive comment or want to talk at all for that matter, the people around you feel like you are angry at them, they feel slighted. So that sets off a whole chain of events. Someone told me today that I should tell people when I am having an off day but I don't think I should have to explain myself to anyone unless they are immediate family or my spouse perhaps.
Maybe it pays to just not bother much with trying to be pleasant at all and just ignore other people because then they will be use to your negativity and will not act so surprised when you brush them off because you are feeling too upset, stressed etc... to really give a rat's [censored] about them on one particular day.
I hope this makes sense.
