Does anyone else find themselves in conflict with others because they are "to honest" in their speech?
For example today I have a neighbor ( lives in same building) who is...annoying. I try to disengage from her.She doesn't let me.So she said something today which made me frustrated and I said,"You really make me mad sometimes."
Why can't I ever seem to be able to do what many people do and just stand there and let her say judgmental things,shke my head in the affirmative and then walk away?
If someone says something that I KNOW isn't true,like saying they are sorry when they do the same thing over and over and I say,"Yup,you're sorry...okay." sarcastically.
Or if someone says someones is so...nice and I know they are not,I have to say something.
Why can't I learn to shut my mouth up ?
Does anyone else struggle with this internal integrity monster?
Or is the origins of this struggle coming from another bad place within?
