Don't sweat it-we're only human!

When I encounter a person with a difficult personality, I tend to remain silent and examine what the problem is and how I could go about fixing my relationship with them. More often than not, I just end up putting it behind me, which is a problem because then all it does is build up to a point of frustration with the person. If I do not agree with someone, I think about why it is I am in disagreement; why are they wrong & I’m right? Is their way of doing something more susceptible to failure? If I really feel I’m right, I’ll voice my opinion of why. And if I’m not, I simply let it go. In all of this, I always try to embrace other points of view and remain relentlessly upbeat. One thing I need to work on is showing my true feelings about any particular matter, which I tend to mask at times.

When I’m in a bad mood or a difficult situation, I like being approached in the same way as if I was in a good mood. But in a more toned down way in that I’m not being bombarded. When I’m in a bad mood, it often does not even have to do with the people that it seems directed towards (like you all on slt). When I’m in a bad mood, one thing that’ll also always do some good is positivity (and gifts!). (just kidding on the last one…sorta…) :)
