I control what is said to me

I stick my fingers in my ears when a conversation goes in a direction I don't like. The person just stops talking.

Is It Normal?

  • That's how toddlers behave. Do you yell out "blahblahblahblahblahblah" too?

  • No, you don't control what is said to you, and you sure as hell don't control the other person's thoughts. In fact, you just control what you hear.

    Your technique is childish, but lots of people do the same thing by simply refusing to process or acknowledge what they're told, and hearing only what they want to hear.

    It's a stupid way of dealing with people, but Trump is proof that the technique can sometimes take you far. Maybe, unlike him, you'll grow up one day and recognise that listening to the opinions of others is a more respectful way of dealing with people.

  • It might work- for now, but it is an unhealthy coping mechanism that will leave you unprepared when life confronts you anyway.

  • As long as your care giver is able to dress, bathe and feed you and stop you from banging your head on a brick wall, all is good.

  • See dudes on here think you are childish, but any man that has been in a relationship understands you.

    If others actually had a wife or gf they would feel you.
