  • Why is it so difficult  for some people to admit they are wrong? Or it is their fault? I can never understand why some people are like that.


    Sometimes a person's past can explain why they are the way they are. I have a friend that is a bit confrontational. Won't step down, gets mad real easily. Holds her temper for the smallest things...and it can go on for days! Sometimes, she has the most difficult time seeing other people's POV --> well at least when it comes to coworkers and friends.


    I just found out why she is the way she is. She was raised as an Orthodox Jew. Her parents were very strict and very religious. But her older sister, growing up here, had different ideas/beliefs. She ended up having a boyfriend that wasn't of the same faith. Mother protested and forbidded. After the force breakup, the boyfriend, shot my friend's mom out of anger. Her father, not handling the stress, died quickly after with a heart attack.


    A person's past, as everyone knows, definitely affects how one reacts today. Sadly, my friend has lost friends along the way because of how she is because they don't understand. and it's okay...we don't need to be friends with everyone. But we should at least be polite with each other. 


    It's amazing how we can grieve and how emotional pain/heartache can change us. I can't even imagine what I would do if I was in her shoes. I've experienced pain along this path called life and I don't think I would've been strong enough to keep my sanity if someone killed people I loved. So much anger would be with me.




    So I was getting a bit sad the past week. I'm in this phase in life where I feel I (once again) need to do something. I miss working out, I miss hanging out with friends, I miss sleeping in bed. Like I said in my other entry, I felt myself aging and not enjoying life. I have a lot to think about this year. What I'm going to do next. I like where I live, but I also want my own place now; yet I don't want tocommit to a house when I don't have all that down I need!


    Shacy, I will call you soon. I'm sorry it's taking awhile. I't's been a hectic week. Please tell Chris that his message scared me!! I had no idea who he was and it wasn't funny! I seriously thought I had a stalker patient! I'll see you guys soon!

  • Sounds like some ppl think of themselves way too highly to step down and smell the grass. Yeah some ppl are really a bit too much, but you have to remind yourself, not that you are better, but that you are lucky enough to look at the world from so many different angles. Some ppl are very linear in their thinking and reasoning, Don't fall into the same square thinking. Hvae a good weekend, sounds liek you need some rest.

  • i could admit i am wrong..  i don't know why others can't.  you can't always try to understand someone who will not bend because it will always be the person's way or the highway.  friendship is not one way street..  that's just how i feel
