Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Isn't it wonderful when you run into someone that you immediately click with? And when you are with that person, you feel completely satisfied because the both of you are so compatible, and look for the good times ahead?

I have friends. They bring the sunshine in my life, and I couldn't ask for anything more.
However, it seems like the closest friends to my heart are the ones who give me such a hard time. ><

And the friends I NEVER fight with; we're very distant. We hang out, but it's not a passionate friendship where you feel all close and such.

I just need advice, and I'm writing this in my journal because...because... I just feel like it. >< There's really no reason I can think of besides the fact that I want to.

...Well a few of my friends have really bad anger problems. And I mean bad. Apparently, I'm the one to strike their anger for very ridiculous reasons; such as me taking my time on something, being "retardedly" slow, being a "dumb blonde" and making small jokes that they take WAY too personally. >< It aggravates me, but I don't let them show it.

Instead I say,
"I know you're mad, but that doesn't give you the right to put me down. They hurt, and are not necessary." It's what I say all the time.

And guess how they respond? They say nothing. Or even stomp off. *groans* Yeah, it annoys me. But I'm not pissed off nor depressed.
I don't take their insults personally because I know they say it in their own anger and s**t. I just wait until they're in a better mood.

So I ask you all: How do you deal with other peoples' anger? It's impossible for ME to change because I'm just being myself. >< It's fine if I'm a bit of an airhead at times...but that's who I am and they always have to make my bad qualities SO damn obvious and they never focus on any of my good ones. Good grief. *chuckles lightly*

So people. I want your opinions. ^^ please?
