srsly.
Sometimes I think I'm too casual about things, not serious enough.
I see that with my mom a lot, when there's something she's really angry about, and I can't help but think she's overreacting. There's few things I can be angry about. I couldn't name a single one on top of my head.
There's stuff that annoys me, but rarely more than a little.
Let's call it a lack of passion for negative things. I can be extremely passionate brodering hyper about positive things, just not bad stuff.
Now I fear that people might feel I'm not taking them seriously or that I don't care about things that are clearly important to them.
But wouldn't it be far easier to just ignore the bad stuff and concentrate on the good things? I'd go mad if I kept thinking about all the ways my life sucked.
So there's SUCK in your life and it's dragging you down? Here's what I'd do: grab a good book or a nice DVD (or whatever you got handy) that makes you happy. Something funny, or just distracting. Get yourself away (mentally) from that negative issue. Only get back to the bad stuff once you have enough distance. If you can't get to that point, leave it be. Most of the time, things'll sort themselves out.
Trust me. =)
My mom keeps saying that she misses having me around since I moved out because our household now lacks a source of constant optimism. ^^;;
