Words

Hi Everyone,

This post is something which has been on my mind for a while. I might be out of line writing this post. If I am, let me know. Words have an impact on most people. A person like me is more affected by words than the average person. I have one of the rarest personality types. I know and accept that I am not personally everyone’s cup of tea. However, I am tired of people thinking they can talk to me any kind of way. I am super easy going, quiet and mild mannered, which is probably detrimental. It allowed people to think I will accept anything. I won’t. I might not advocate for myself as well as I should; however I refuse to be disrespected. Respect is earned and not freely given. I will respect anyone, until I am given a reason not to.

My point is people should be very careful of how they talk to me. I am not saying to walk on eggshells. However, proceed with caution. Here is why: it takes very little to upset and/or anger me. I am working on that. I do not forget the words that are spoken to me. I tend to remember more than I should. It affects me more than it should. It is my assumption that my demeanor has given people the perception that it is okay when it isn’t. That is my fault and I take ownership of that.

I hate condescension more than anything. I hate being talked down to. I do not treat people like that no matter how i am treated. Please understand my reaction to people is based on how I am treated. Do not be fooled by my niceness. Be careful how you talk to people because you never know what someone is dealing with. Perception is everything. Tread lightly. That is all I am saying.

Stay blessed everyone. Be careful of the words you speak, as there can be consequences. You have been warned. Take this as you choose. I said what I said. Peace
