Banter What do you need?

Not to be bothered by another's opinion of me.

I see people saying this a lot. As Stan pointed out in a thread the other day, we all care about how others think of us, and that's true to a degree. This is what I mean when I say my personality contradicts itself...yes I care very deeply when it's someone I love and respect. If its somone that doesn't know me, I really don't care. Their opinion doesn't define me or make one bit of difference in my life.

If you're bothered that they'll give their opinion of you to others; the people that know you and care about you have a high opinion of you that can't be swayed by the words of anyone else. If it can, those people aren't really your friend and it's no loss.

It's impossible to be liked by everyone. Some people love me for being myself, others hate me for the very same reason. Yes I'm aware some people think that makes me a heartless bitch. I dont care. I'll keep giving energy to those that deserve it and ignore the ones that don't.

Just so you know without question; I think you're fabulous!! You make me smile and I really enjoy seeing you in here. *big hugs* ♥︎♥︎

❤️❤️ Thanks Harley, it means a lot coming from you. Truly humbling. HUGs!! You are always honest towards me and I am thankful for your friendship.

It was one of the days... where I was particularly not myself. Usually I am not bothered with others' personal thoughts biased or otherwise of me, when they do not know. Just upsetting when someone I care about thinks that way. Yes you are 100% correct, if they are willing to assume and not communicate their concerns - no value in that relationship. However at times a grey exists... and grey-zone where you are in the right and they aren't wrong either is rather difficult to navigate.

Even then if someone is important to me, I am working on rewiring my mind on not being bothered of what they think of me, as whatever they think is reflection of their understanding and no way my responsibility after I have made attempts to address the situation and they are unwilling to process it. Vise-a-versa they may be thinking the same I guess. Overanalyzing is unfortunately a vise of mine and also a strength. I attempt to walk in others' shoes, and always give most a benefit of a doubt, and give more then get. No I am not keeping scores, however it tires me out at times.. where I am going extra miles on end, and not even being appreciated and instead in role reversal they would not be as understanding. I am working on not feeling guilty and responsible of what someone thinks of me... an ongoing process for several years.

It's redundant, and just a toxic cycle at best.

Now that I am done with the above monolog. :rolleyes:

**Is there a gift card, for opening up on a public platform?!** ;)

I understand your struggle. I see things in black and white, that grey area is stressful. I usually agree to disagree. "Ok that's fine. You're still an ass though." Lol

A gift card, no but you get judged by the masses (the m is silent) for something they have no clue what you're talking about lol
