Yet Another What to do Question..
O.K. I have had a problem for awhile now. I haven't done anything about it because I keep waiting for it to just go away(Don't know how, but waiting). Anyone, there is this person that I am around alot, more than my husband, most of the time. Anyway, this person thinks very highly of themselves and has done and been everywhere, plus knows everything there is to possibly know about ANYTHING. This person loves to talk, about what IT DOESN'T MATTER. I usually am a very loving person and try not to let things get to me. I once had a boss that told me "Don't sweat the small stuff", but sometimes it's hard to do that. I don't know whether this person does it on purpose or is just TRYING to hard, but it's about to push me over my edge and I don't like that feeling. I don't know if any of you have ever had this problem, but sometimes I feel like I am going to ABSOLUTELY explode and don't know what to do. I feel like I am not even myself when I get this way. The bad thing is it is all bottled up and soon the top is going to come off and I am proabably going to make some people think I am crazy. Any suggestions out there as to what to do. Oh, yeah and I pray everyday several times a day. It helps for a while but comes right back.

Re: Yet Another What to do Question..
Hey M....
Maybe you could try not being around them as much. And sometimes you just have to let it go, no matter what....Ditto what your old boss told you. If they hurt you directly, make you bleed....then get mad....life is too short....
Enjoy the rest of us...we love ya

Two words for you ...... Prescription medication...... Work's wonders, makes you not care that the other person is talking all the time. You just wonder why you didn't take your pill sooner..... Keep your head up, it will get better!

Re: Yet Another What to do Question..
Question.....Is this someone you work with and are unable to remove yourself from their presence? If so, just politely tell them that you will be glad to listen to their story, rant, whatever AFTER work or when you get a break but right now you are trying to get your work done. If they dont get the hint....tell them again. If still no relief.....apparently polite is not something they understand.........unload with both barrels!! If nothing else, it'll make you feel much better! I agree with dont sweat the small stuff but if it's making you feel like you do....it's no longer small stuff and life's too short to have to worry about popularity contests when someone wont just SHUT UP!!

Re: Yet Another What to do Question..
Had a person like that in my life once. I killed her! HEHE. . . Just kidding

No, but seriously. . . You just need to tell this person to back off if you value them as a friend or whatever. But if it is a person you can live without, then do just that. Live without them.

Re: Yet Another What to do Question..
Your question was a little vague -- is this an at work thing? I guess what I am asking is: Why are you around this person so much? Is it at work -- that's what it does sound like.

If it is work... I'd just tell them "I'm sorry but I can't talk right now.. I'm busy"

OR... carry a book around at all times... if you're reading, most people are kind enough to leave you alone... (a trick I learned for some situations). May I suggest The Da Vinci Code :-)

Also -- are they talking about rude things or are they being very prideful?
