MIXED EMOTIONS I am often amused by; people who tell me I should not let people bother me, or get to me. When someone is deliberately trying to cause me problems. I become irritated or disappointed sometimes, because it is directed at, and effects me personally. They often say things like; if they know you’re irritated, or upset, they will keep doing things. Or; keep smiling, don’t let it get to you. Interesting people, these are. Because these same people will mention in a conversation, that something bothers, or irritates them. The things they mention has no bearing on them, or their personal life. When I ask; why are they so bothered by something that has nothing to do with them, or effect them in any way. Their response; they have a thing, pet peeve, or whatever, about people who do these things. Things like what some people wear, or when, or where they wear it. Things like games that adults play on each other, or sometimes things to do with relationships. I ask; if it is not done to you, by the people involved, and to no one you know. Why are you so bothered ? Their response; they just don’t like seeing people do these things. I ask; if you know that these things are just part of our society, world, etc. why be irritated about something you have no control of ? You may not be able to change it. But, you can ignore it. Their reply; you just don’t understand. I think I do. These are people who are good at giving advice that they do not use. Oh, and by the way; they are also very irritated when someone offends them personally. I think I will leave them to their Mixed Emotions, and not become like them. Though something, or someone may irritate me sometimes. It is short lived, and I move on to the future. Being irritated about things that has nothing to do with me. No thanks …..
