How...and how..and how..

How do you react to the recurring statements that you're a disappointment to everyone around you? How do you feel when you're told that you are the cause of the tension and agony of your loved ones? How do you feel when someone bluntly states that you are a failure?

How do you see yourself when you are told that you can't be any better??

Should you ignore these statements? Should you tell yourself that you should give up on all your dreams?

My reaction (to my mom): a drop of tear!!

It really depends on who tells these things... If theses r from someone whom means a lot to me, Ill sit with them and try to understand y they felt so.... But frankly, except for the second question (for which I believe that there is a possibility coz I know Im irritative sometimes), for which I agree readily.. but if these words were from someone who doesn't mean anything to me, I would just try to end the conversation and I would just throw a F off attitude....

@ Sunil

It was my mom!

It shud juat be an outburst of emotions... The toughest task is to understand a mother's emotions... I've heard worse comments from my mom... But she never means them from her heart... Just a matter of time....

How will I react?

I would never even take tht serious and feel abt it.Bcos not one word in tht came frm heart!

Shrugg it off.. I tell u.

@ Sunil

It may have been an outburst. Blah. It's a long story!

@ Prashanth

There are few things that I'm extremely sensitive about. There are VERY few people that I can't stand to see hurting. One of those people was used as a victim of my actions! It's ok..I'll survive eh! :D

Oh the smiley is back...you are all set!

@ Prashanth

Haha..I guess I am!!

@ Sunil

You're most welcome! :D Yes..I will be!

Sometimes its better to flip people off (who by the way are already flipped in any case if they are saying all these things), Its better than to begrudgingly and silently take shit from them...

I've done that enough. And I'm done with it. I don't take shit from anyone anymore, be it even the Maker!

:D Shub..
I stopped talking back or even reacting to others' outbursts a LONG time ago! I think it's best if they just get it outta their system! But man..at times, it's very difficult! :D

m said...

That's exactly i am also trying to figure out.....how..how...and how.... but no answers except that i have to be patient and let time heal everything....

the fact that those misapprehensions are from loved ones do makes one feel completely let down but guess it will pass...just concentrate on things that makes u feel productive!

@ ela

Does time really heal everything? I don't know..at times, some may leave permanent scars!

yes it does.....but if u think about this life...the only one we have and how much energy we have already put into this....may be u will get some positive energy to push it further hoping to make it better...

i mean, hope for better is the only thing that is driving all of us, isn't?

things will be fine...so don't be too sad and in turn hurt urself again.
