McDuck 0 #1 July 2, 2006 Do you know people that you constantly have to be careful around, whether it's because they're overly sensitive, overly critical or think the world is waiting to devour them messily and leave only DNA evidence behind? How do you interact with these people? Or DO you?Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Armour666 0 #3 July 2, 2006 when I saw this title I was thinking of somethig eiles. Me I don't cater to people like that my life and the world is what it is. Dosn't mean I go out of my way to be mean but I don't sugar coat it. Hasn't got me in to much trouble shure there have been complaints by some people at work ect but I've always been with in acepitable standards. If thay want to complain let them have at it I'm not wasting my time worring about them.SO this one time at band camp..... "Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most."

I got sick of letting someone else's mood or behavior dictate how my day was going to proceed so i just ignore her now and ya know what??? now that she's not getting the attention it's actually getting better. good luck! I'm going to make a great third wife for my first husband.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 35 #7 July 2, 2006 I've never heard of this term. It does seem to go along with your McDuck user name. Do you have some weird obsession with fowl? To answer your question, I tend to not deal with these type of people. I don't like drama, it's exhausting.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 0 #8 July 2, 2006 QuoteHow do you interact with these people? Or DO you? I don't. A lifetime of trial and error has taught me that trying to deal with peope like that on any level (theirs, mine, a neutral one, whatever) just gets me sucked into the vortex of their dysfunction. I've learned to spot the personality type early on, and just steer clear. Avoidance is the best way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crum 0 #9 July 2, 2006 Whats THAT supposed to mean?????????? just kidding. I prefer to steer clear of these people. Unfortunately in my career I get stuck with em sometimes for three to for months at a time and it is like freakin oral surgery dealing with em. I have found that since I am stuck with them, I HAVE to deal with it and it makes me a better person, (or at least more patient,) trying to deal with situations amicably. But outside of the work life these people have no place for me. They are vultures trying to suck up all your time with their insignificant nonsense....I think they should take up skydiving so they get a reality check ..... It also really sucks to have family members like that, there's no escape from it!!! Sometimes tactful sarcasm sends a solid message. P.S. - I like to drink.... alcohol helps too!!! ******Today is one day too late.******** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
