Good post Aerolor, thanks. My trouble was I marched into battle before I thought anything over.

You might not be liked for it at the time but at least you are been true to yourself and giving an honest opinion.
Folk know where they stand with you and either love you or loathe you for it.

For some who prefer a quieter experience on the web it can come more natural to be more of a spectator, which doesn't mean they having nothing to say .... they are just more discriminating at what, how or when they say it.
Or more likely curling up with shocked horror or having a fit of giggles over the antics of braver, rasher or dafter souls who haunt social sites.

Each to their own.
We're all different personalities but over the years I have come to the conclusion you have to develop a thick skin.
Great post Morticia, but I especially like the last line....I have to develop thicker skin. I will definitely be working on that.
Thank you Mort

No need to apologise or thank me unless you accept likewise from me ... we both said some nasty things to each other which didn't make either of us look good.

Good to see you feel more settled and good for you for starting this thread. That takes a bit of courage.

You know what Mort, it did take some courage..... I have been tossing it around in my head since yesterday. I didn't want to look stupid, but I did want to find a way to improve myself. I knew I needed your help and the others too. I feel like things are going to sink in this little peanut I have for a brain, and I will be a good member here. Sometimes it is hard for us to look at ourselves to see where we are going wrong.....

Re: How do you handle conflict?

There's only one way, IMHO.

Head on.....A chat, cards on the table and if a reasonable outcome isn't possible then a swift kick in the nutellas......so to speak.

Indeed I would.

Too many an hour spent trying to convince the upper echelons they know ****.

Bloomin site managers.
