I don't know if it was because I was tired today - but I was having a tough time dealing with people today. People were anoying the ___ out of me and I decided that they were anxious or they had some emotional flaw they weren't ready to deal with yet. I had a "I'm superior" kind of mind set and I should do it cause they wouldn't be able to do it right attitude. I felt very petty and I hate that I say and think catty things. Could I hope that this would go away as I work on my anxiety?
Thanks,

Mags,
Dont beat yourself up because you had a bad day,, everyone does.. ONe good thing is you know you had that attitude, and now you can work on it.. Sometimes people we work with, just get on our last nerve, thats when we get some fresh air, of put up a STOP sign, Breathe and then go forward...
Remember tomorrow is a brand new day! you get to start all over:),,, Nelly

I can totally relate to those feelings. Just remember that it's not all your responsibility and others are who they are and you can't change them OR expect them to change. On a good note, you are recognizing that your thoughts are not productive, so that is a good thing. This all takes time and I think we need to find a balance between working on ourselves and working too hard on ourselves. I mean we've had these issues (well at least I know I have) for a long time, so we can't expect for things to poof disappear overnight. On the other hand, and I do find myself doing this, I need to gently prod myself at times to continue foward. There are moments when things seem so great and I am truly happy and then life being what it is, things happen that aren't so easy to deal with and I find myself wanting to crawl into that hole of self pity and depression. But, I know that in the grand scheme of things, right now things aren't that bad. I have a lot to be greatful for and thankful for. I hope this helps you.

I hear ya lady. I feel the same way about people, but don't look on the negative side. They're probably all good people inside (even if they seem stupid).

I can understand where you are coming from..I have worked very hard on being free from being judgemental and those thoughts that go on in my head. The other day at work I felt soo irritated toward others like I wanted to rip their heads off. Being a Christian has helped & knowing that it is just plain wrong for me to have some thoughts so I dismiss them as quickly as I can. I struggle with being around others especially when they are gossiping and being vulgar. Some males really push my buttons. I am very aware of it now more than ever which can be good & at the same time unsettling :eek:
