oh a little yadda yadda.
Current annoyances:
- People who talk incessantly and don't let you get a word in edgewise.
- People whose speaking volume raises 600 decibels when in the presence of an opposite-sex person in whom they are interested. Add another 1400 if there is competition for the aforementioned opposite-sex person.
Recently, I'm feeling like such a grouch, for being so easily annoyed. I should be able to just deal with people and have a good attitude, but it's really hard for me.
I sometimes catch myself thinking how dumb other people are, or how wrong they are, or how what they just said was SO ridiculous.
Or sometimes I won't even catch myself, and someone else will point it out to me. For instance, the other day I said something to Beau, and he said, "Stop talking to me like I'm stupid," and I immediately replied, "I'm not talking to you like you're stupid." And then I thought about it for a minute...and I had been talking down to him. And of course I don't think Beau is stupid--not in the least.
It's just that I have this strong tendency to judge...it's not always a bad thing, mind you. It means I see things clearly and I am pretty quick to spot problems in myself and fix them. The problem is that I haven't figured out the balance of judgment and kindness when it comes to other people.
The old Truth vs. Grace battle.
I'm still just learning here.
