Some people just like being mad

I have always been a little sensitive and I freely admit that. A lot of times I have to stop myself from reacting and think what did that person really mean. I guess what my mom use to tell me about counting to 10 had some credence to it.

I sometimes take the abstract personally, as dumb as that sounds.

I think someone is talking about me when they aren't even thinking of me. Im getting better though thanks to blog land.. I mean if blog land doesn't thicken your skin nothing will. lol

I have noticed though that some folks seem to enjoy being mad and indignant. Im not talking about anyone here, it's actually someone I know from the real world. However I am sure some folks here are probably that way too, I haven't been here long enough to know everyone yet.

My point is being mad all the time and puffing your chest out at the smallest little thing has to be exhausting. Thinking that anyone who teases you or kids you about something is a slight all the time, has to just suck the joy out of living.

Its hard not to take yourself too seriously, I know because I am guilty of it myself from time to time.

They have sensitivity training maybe what this world needs is desensitivity training.

I wish I had listened more to the wisdom of my parents when I was little, things they tried to teach me like..

"Anytime you point a finger you have three pointing back at yourself.

Don't cry over spilled milk

Walk a mile in their shoes."

All those little saying that I thought as a child were so stupid, I now realize were wise beyond words...

Do you have things you wish you had learned better as a child?
