    Lemme guess: you deal with people like the ones you're mentioning and they're a nightmare? Then don't bother with them.

    That was a lot of questions.

    Did you have an actual point or did you just want to make a tl;dr list?

  • Whew! That is one comprehensive list of questions.

    Being receptive to constructive criticism is critical to our emotional development--especially when it comes from someone who loves and knows us well. A well adjusted adult is capable of reflective listening, and seeks to negotiate mutually acceptable terms of resolution without all of that drama.

    Oh nice sounds like me all over. I go further.

    I have a loaded gun in my waist where they can see it.

    I take it out and smack them about with it before even asking anything.

    Then I have my way with them.

    Only then, do i start with my demands. You gotta break them first.

    Works.. Everytime..

    I would know im a gynaecologist.

    What REALLY pissed me off is when I am having a conversation with someone and a third person comes along and starts talking to the person I am talking to like I wasn't even there. It's infuriating!!
