I'VE JUST ABOUT HAD IT

Folks, I'm about to flip my lid. Seriously. I am so incredibly frustrated right now and I'm just going to vent. If you want a happy post, then come back another day.

I'm sick of people who ...

... routinely whine, complain, and get offended about everything.
... take disagreement as a personal attack.
... choose to complain about something, but offer no helpful alternatives.
... tell you what they don't like about you and expect you to say nothing in response.
... find ways to turn perfectly happy situations into pity parties.
... get offended by something you've done or said, then completely ignore your apology.
... expect the world to revolve around their own thoughts, beliefs, feelings, experiences, etc.


I'm really over it. Majorly.

I've thought about typing all that out multiple times, but always opted not to because I didn't see how it would help. It just gets me all riled up.

But here's the deal. I'm finding myself becoming so bitter ... maybe critical ... no, it's more like spiteful toward people who do these things. I don't know, maybe it's all three of those feelings. I've lost respect for people who act these ways. Each incident, whether it involved me or someone else, just brings to mind all the previous ones. I go from calm and happy to annoyed and snarky in no time flat. I hate it.

I need to accept that some people would rather pick a fight and bail than work through one. I need to accept that some people are chronically offended. I need to accept that some people are uncomfortable with disagreement. I need to accept that some people want to speak their mind, but don't want to listen to anyone else's. I need to accept that some people make accusations without any supporting evidence.

I need to let it go. I keep thinking I have, then a new situation comes up and I realize I'm still hanging on to the old ones.

You can pray for my attitude. It's lousy. You can pray for my heart. It's unforgiving.
