Where are all of the nice people?
May 16, 2009“Mean people suck”
I’ve seen this statement on bumper stickers and t shirts, and I’m sure many other novelty items. (not to mention the other popular variations – ”mean people spit”. Nice people suck”, etc.. Of course “they” had fun with that one.)
“A fools mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.” (Proverbs 18:7 KJV)
I’m tired of mean people. I’m also tired of people who live their past pain, as though it were a fresh new wound each day. They lash out, because their pain is real, it’s like they have to make you hurt too, and thats just not right. I realized some time ago, that discussing something quickly becomes an argument (before it was ever a discussion) if one person is always right, never listens, and just talks louder and faster over you. I learned to not speak, and to keep my opinion on some things to myself. In doing this, the argument is stopped (if only for the time being. I realized that what I feel doesn’t matter (to them), because that person isn’t hearing a word that I’m saying. When I try to say “I feel”, I’m told “that’s not how you feel”, and then they proceed to tell me how I really feel, and how it really is.
Unfortunately, I really have a problem when they keep “picking at me. Little “barbs” in the course of the sentence or conversation. Sometimes I just can’t say “uh huh, yup, your right”. I shouldn;t have to. I’m so sick of people who only have only “just so much nice”, and when the nice runs out, you better watch out. Its like a venom, infecting and effecting every part of me and of my life. Changing me.
It’s so tiring being so unhappy all of the time.
