People do all sorts of things when they don't get what they want.Whether this be a relationship or even a promotion at work.

What of the above have you resorted to, if your brave and honest enough to admit to it.

Psychology, don't you just love it.......grin

You won't be alone in that one, though sometimes its for medical reasons and hormone changeswave

I wonder what the most popular one will be, i've cast a wide net but i can already predict mens and females responses!!!

It's so useful being a smug so and solaugh

It is all about our Emotional Intelligence IQ's .... I think wine

When i realise i am better than others because i can psychoanalyse them anytime, be cynical and consider it attractive and obviously think they are no good for me, i either find someone better than them to keep my mind focused on something 'productive' or find a hobby that doesn't involve more psychoanalysing. *Bound to get redundant.*

This is after i get aggresive and pour ice cold water on the annoying little mice they keep as pets.


I also remind myself i have a lot of time to make mistakes and learn, being only 25.
Those i take lessons on life from are normally those who have at least shared their lives with someone better than me at some point.

The blind can never lead the blind.

The past is what holds true to the meaning of not getting your own way.
Studies show that what you had grown up with, that is how you are dealing with things now. So when you can't get your own way, check out your past. Think of how you responded as a child. Chances are now that is how you deal with it. Of course my take is WHY BE RIGHT, BE KIND!!!!!!!!!!!lips canada

Emotional intelligence....and its fascinating to see how people respond to the most basic of questions.It gives you a deep insight to see if there mature, or nuts.....as the psychiatric community love to think of them.

Nuts get all the action. Maybe they don't strive for perfection and get the rest of the nuts easily.

Also, in psycho wards, all the nuts think they are the only sane ones.

I want to be a full nut.
