Come Again?

Saturday, September 09, 2006

I don't see the point of listening to all the crap a person has to say to me, most especially if I've already heard it not just once or twice but for God knows how long. I mean, it's the same crap time and again. (1) I really don't want to participate in all the cursing and shouting. I don't curse to begin with and I was never a shouter anyway. (2) I just don't want to argue anymore. I'm tired of having to defend myself all the time – I sound like a broken record na nga at times. (3) What for if the other person refuses to listen? It's impossible to talk to close minded people as they already have their own pre-conceived notions and judgments. Your opinions wouldn't really matter anymore because everything falls on deaf ears. It's always their way and no other way. (4) I don't want to be part of their negative vibe. There's just too much anger and bitterness that it saps the energy right out of me. Sometimes it's just not worth it to go through all the trouble and hassle because I only end up irritated, frustrated and with a very bad day. So rather than going head to head, I stepped back and made all the effort to keep my mouth tightly shut. I purposely zoned out as I let the other person do all the yapping - as in nothing really registered to me and it felt good. I don't want to get affected with all the negative things being hurled at me. I don't want to bother explaining myself either. So from now on, they can say what they want to say. Kebs na ako. Basta ako...

It's less tiring this way.
