no. are you a bitch?
Only if seriously provoked…
Nah. Not even then, usually. You can tell if I'm pissed off because I become even more polite than usual.
I wonder who the 'one quick bitch' is. Everyone else seems to be pleasant.
becoming more polite when others are trying to provoke you is a genius move. i bet it pisses them off.
Probably. I tried anger when I was young. It didn't work, it just amused people and made me feel even worse.
Then I learnt what 'respect'
really means.
Once I realised that other people's opinions weren't as important as their actions, their opinions (however stupid) no longer wound me up to the same extent. It also helps to accept that
changing someone's opinions isn't important either; just so long as their behaviour isn't harming anyone then we can agree to disagree.
So I'm happy to let people believe whatever they want to believe, about anything at all, however 'wrong' I may think them to be. I'll even let someone know what
my beliefs are, if they really want to know. I only step in if I think that they are about to do harm.
For example, I don't care if Joe Bloggs believes that the race he happened to have been born into is superior to all others. It is of no importance to me if he thinks women aren't fully human. Even if he gets elected to government. But if he tries to
act on those beliefs by bringing in discriminatory legislation, then I'll get very polite indeed…
