“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” That’s a myth. I have tried and tried to be one of those people that just doesn’t care what someone says about me, but it doesn’t work. I’m just not a let it roll off my back type of person. I’m just a very sensitive person. I don’t like getting picked on and made fun of. It is easier for me to ignore things said by people I don’t know then by my friends or so called friends. I do my best to avoid people that like to tease others. I’m not saying that you have to walk on eggshells when you are around me, but there are certain topics that really push my buttons. Off of the top of my head here are just a few topics that some people enjoy joking around about, but I just don’t find them funny:
- · How I raise/care for my dog
- · My weight
- · How I exercise
- · Food and my eating habits
- · Pediflers
- · Mental Illness
- · Incest
Here is a list of things that might come up in conversation and when they do you will notice a transformation in me. I all of a sudden become irritated and upset and by the time the conversation is over I’m grouchy. Think Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If you believe in it I have it.
- · The neighbor from hell
- · Backyard ponds and how it was his hobby
- · Your opinion that I wasn’t in an abusive relationship just because I wasn’t admitted into the hospital
- · Your opinion of my ex wasn’t an alcoholic because he wasn’t falling down drunk
- · Your opinions of doctor prescribed Medication
- · Your theory on depression and anxiety and how it’s just in one’s head and if you pray enough or change your mind you will be all better.
