I've been lucky to not have to work out in the world lately, and the work I'm doing now is service oriented and of free choice. But that doesn't mean that I'm not subjected to some negativity since DH and I own a business.

It is a rough world out there. You might see a post that Creamcheese and I posted about "meeting a real mean woman" :D I think you will be seeing many people coming here to learn how to cope w/ negative people and learn to recognize the ones to ignore and the others to confront.

You will get stronger and you won't react to them as much and then they will have to change the way they act towards you. You'll learn that more on Lesson 14, at least that is the # of my CD. I listen to that one while I take a bath. :D I have other CDs in my car CD player and use a another CD player in my kitchen. I switch them periodically. They all help. :) P.

Kt Faith, It is rare to see someone take responsibility as most very well do just gripe and negative bash away.
It is usually ignorance or envy. Be a positive role model, remark when they are being good, let the rest roll. You can not stop the river allthough one can change it's flow.
There is a saying if God is in your heart then it will be seen through your life. To me that is being the maker and not the taker.

Our only remittance is to be tested so we know what it is to keep the faith. I support you for seeing the difference.

Molly77 I feel for ya. I wont get in to detail, as a rule we will never win a argument. It is allmost allways a loose loose.
The truth is the only thing that will have foundation. Most people are not stupid if known the difference that is validated by facts.

When you are confronted refuse to engage. If you choose to continue, ask questions and control the flow. Divert to the truth or the facts only. No more no less.
Do you have away to retreat? Allways have a escape preplanned. Not to abandon disscussion but to get away from bs.
Your weapon is knowlege and how one applys it.

I am with smallyfish in makeing the comparison
If whatever is causeing the problem is not addressed then our sores only fester.

Comfort can be decieveing intertwined with security. There is distinct differences I believe.
