Re: How do you handle conflict?
So much great advice, I hardly know where to start to thank you all.......I have copied this whole thread and I am going to use it as a guide to help me change my perspective so I can be a more positive member of over50 forum.
This forum is fun....there is always something funny said that makes me "laugh out loud"....people from the UK certainly know how to have fun.
So thanks again, I might reply individually to a few, but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy what each and every one of you said......I certainly do....and appreciate very much that you took the time to help me with some much needed advice....

As Longdogs said, sometimes the wrong word can be picked up on and changed within another's perception of what is actually intended .
Anyway, I think you have put forward some very interesting posts and points. It's not you, so don't run away, stand your ground and don't be bullied.
Thank you for this.
Even tho, I don't feel comfortable in the Political or Religious threads, doesn't mean I don't enjoy reading them. I am not experienced enough to hold my own, without losing my temper, so it is best if I stick to the other threads where I can joke and have fun.
I learn something from you all the time Puddle Duck, and I thank you for that. I have a strong faith and would never turn my back on my faith. But for a while, I am just going to read and learn......God bless you Puddle.

By the way, nice new avatar you have up now.....lovely....

When emotions run high you tend to word your post differently, but when you have thought it through a few times, you find a way to say what you think without all the overriding emotions... so your view seems more balanced.
How many times have we argued with somebody and said the wrong thing, the wrong way, because we were upset?
