"That's ok"

Had court today....again. Same reason. Plates. I've got 60 days to figure out whatever it is that I need to figure out. I'm so frustrated by all of this I just want to scream. (Or take a nap....whatever comes first. I'm thinking the latter option).


Have you ever encountered a person who just doesn't seem to listen? Its almost as if you aren't even there? I have a person in my life like that. They shall remain nameless. (probation..blah blah blah...jk.) Anyhoodle. Its very frustrating. I could be having a conversation with them and when I try bring up a point to further the conversation, it just goes back into more of what they are talking about (which is their own self.) I've learned to just shut up and listen ... but then I find myself day dreaming since I cannot be apart of the conversation, and that's not right either. How do you deal with people like that? Am I one of those people?

Another thing that bothers me is when telling a story, someone replies back with, " That's OK, I . . . " and then they proceed to something that "tops" your story? Last night at the bar, someone was asking about my tattoo and it got to my parents and such. I told them that they have both passed away and she goes, " That's OK, I lost my parents last year " .....What is that suppose to mean? That's OK.... I'm so confused by that. Its like when talking to people like that, they are constantly thinking of how to one-up you. They're one-uppers. And it just goes in one ear, out the other. I don't even like talking to others about my parents passing away because its such a long, boring and sad story that I just try to avoid it. But to just skim over it all by saying, " That's OK .... " No, no its not. How about, " I'm so sorry to hear that. I can understand where you are coming from as I just lost my parents ...blah blah blah ". There....we don't have to go into detail about my parents while you're still acknowledging what I just said, and we get to move on and talk about you. It's that simple.

Ugh.

Sorry for such drab posts. I'm not normally this Debbie Downer"ish"......Oh! Another thing: People who constantly update negative things. Try updating postive things in your life and suddenly you're life doesn't seem to drab anymore. Negativity is such an ugly thing. (I know I am ugly of such a thing) Let's all be beautiful!
