Thread: Hello

At least you're honest with yourself Knight, that will always help to be passive. There is a difference though between being passive and being able to be manipulated. There are passive ways to stand up for yourself and not be walked on.

I'm going to keep working on it. I've said that before, and then I end up doing it again. Just a few days ago, I had to go to a training and a couple of my supervisors were there. I made a suggestion to improve something and somehow it just blew up. Everything I said was true, but upon reflection I wish I hadn't said anything at all. Not because they were supervisors. I'm in no jeopardy of losing my job or anything like that, but just because I don't want to be like that. I just got frustrated at their lack of willingness to verify anything. Check the reconds. "We can't check them." Ask them this. "We can't ask them those questions." etc., etc. I wish I hadn't said anything at all, and the more I think on it the more I just want to go to work and not speak to anyone, lol. I'm tired of trying to help people that don't seem to want to help themselves and it must be making me angry or frustrated or whatever is going on. I'm tired of that, though. I wish I could stop it, but every time I say that it seems the same thing happens again. Something needs to be done differently, I guess. I'll keep working on it and meditating on it, until I figure it out.

Silence is golden, perhaps. I think that is what I will try. Answer questions, be polite, and nothing else, lol.

Actually, that conversation with my supervisors was an eye opener for me. I realized that they turn a blind eye to EVERYTHING. I think that may be what I needed to learn to deal with this problem. I understand my situation more and can act accordingly now. So, I suppose it is a good thing, and I actually do feel more calm upon reflecting upon it. They do not care, and I do. That is what it comes down to.

He doesn't scare me, I think he is absolutely fascinating.
