Very annoyed

[whiteflare]

Thanks for your replies everyone. It's been interesting reading some of your stories.

Some people just are full of BS, and if you're not one of them, I guess you can't really relate to the ones who are.

Seeing as I can't totally avoid this person, I've just taken to moving away whenever they approach. I hope they get the message.

Why use tact when

works so well?


I don't fix what ain't broke.

I failed Tact Class. I usually just say "Ya know, you are really annoying me right now. I'll back with ya in a bit". And then I go back and tell them like it is.

I think I try too hard to please people.

Even when they are SO not worth it.

Wise wise words welsummerchick. Too much emphasis these days on 'how I feel'. Just get on with it, the good, the bad and the ugly!

I think it's very important to think WHY someone irritates you. Most of the time, it's because the person isn't giving one enough attention.

The need for attention is a natural and human need. It's normal. But we have to try to figure out who and how much should really be giving us that attention.

That's true, but I would give anything to not get any attention from this person.

I would quite happily move away and pretend they didn't exist if it weren't for this "unfinished business".

Most of the time, you can avoid 99% of your contact with the person. Keep it only to necessity and don't start conversations with the person.
