Offtopic:
Sorry, I can't see any parallels to this thread. There is not one forum or chatroom out there, where you will not get some comments, when you come in and are shouting around like if it was the end of the world with capslock on, also if it's by an accident. :lol:
I come here as a guest and the rules are hanging over the door, where everyone can read them. When the rules please me to take off the shoes in such a fantastic source of knowledge, I have two choices: I take them off or .... I take them off.
If I haven't seen the rules, walk right through the livingroom, I will not wonder, why I get some comments. And that would be ok for me, ofcourse everyone makes mistakes, especially me. That is no reason to feel offended, yet, - if you know, who you are, with all your strong and weak sides, if you trust yourself, if you have self-esteem, nothing and nobody will be able to "belittle" you.
So what?!
I see a tendency in society for some words to be used inflationary, "bullying" is one of those. My boss didn't smile at me, the policeman gave me a ticket, I got no steak at the supermarket, the other car drivers weren't nice to me, - they're all bullying me. No, it is only in my mind. The boss's children maybe are ill and he sorrows, the policeman maybe yesterday saw a child dying, because someone drove too fast. We are individuals, we love to be individual and sometimes,we are so individual, that we forget all the others are individuals, too. Everyone. Understand yourself, try to understand them, analyze, plan and react in a way, so they will probably respond in a way, you like. But you have to be the agonist, and their reaction depends for a big part on YOU.
