Today, after an argument over something monetary, I realized I'm absolutely no good at diplomacy. Sure, I'm a flexible person. Sure, I'm quite quite quite considerate of other people's feelings. Sure, I have the normal dose of human empathy. But there's one thing I don't have in abundance: patience. Especially when it comes to decision-making and butting heads over certain issues.
Don't get me wrong, I welcome opinions. I'll even defend to the death your right to state them. But the minute you stop listening to my opinions because you think you and you alone are right, then damn, I'm done being a nice person.
And today I almost literally banged my head against the table. (Almost because I'm not that stupid yet, plus my body still aches after yesterday's Airsoft.) I hate it when people can't be told. It just makes my blood rise. And then I go
but it usually looks just like a
Oh well. You can't always win at life. :(
I just can't help but wish I don't have to make people listen. That they'll do it out of their own free will, and not because I was typing in all caps or raising my voice or being hurtfully sarcastic.
