Show them who the better person is, and the worst thing you can do (in my opinion) is react, it's what they want you to do.....

Easy to say, but hard sometimes to do....I sometimes take the bait....

But if you can hold out it makes you feel good....
THIS is where I usually sit. In-between these two trains of thought. Two wrongs don’t make a right. More tolerance and patience is needed. The best thing to do is NOT react.

I think the ‘key’ here is it depends who it is.
If this is someone who keeps taking you for granted knowing you don’t want any type of confrontation, then expect it to continue. This type of situation needs confrontation.


If you are online getting harassed, I think it’s best not to react.
By reacting you are feeding into the confrontation, making it worse. It’s not the easiest thing to learn but I need to.

Thank you Omah and Grey Fox. I won’t even call you old

Thanks everyone.
Your feedback was much appreciated

But they were f****d up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

Some do...I don't think there is one single person...who isn't f.... Up ,one way or another.

Life can be so complicated ..if you are f..... Up...

Mind you some are so f..... Up,they don't even know it!...

I also think everyone pushes other people's buttons unknowingly or even knowing.

Again some don't see it....because they try to blame others..instead of taking some of the responsibility.

In other words,they think they are perfect,do no wrong....
