“Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.”

I have a young looking face and people seem to think that I'm much younger than I actually am. *shrugs* And so, they talk to me like I just don't know much of anything.
That's annoying.
What's equally annoying is when people talk to me as though I'm a child. When people say things like, "Oh, well I hope this has taught you a lesson" or "Well, maybe next time you'll double check this and that before you do it" really pisses me off. I'm a grown woman and know as much to admit when I've made a mistake as much as how to learn from them. I don't need anyone to attempt to reinforce the overwhelming obvious importance of that knowledge.
*sighs*
Sorry to sound like a witch, but it's just something that needed to be said. I don't disrespect people like that, so I really wish that people wouldn't do it to me.
...it makes me unhappy.
Anyway, that's enough of that. It's something that's going to keep happening, especially at work (I've never encountered more disgruntled elderly and middle-aged people in my ENTIRE LIFE!) so, I just have to learn to deal with it and not let it get to me. Granted, it happens here (well, the latter does, since folks don't actually see my face) but, I know at least that when it does happen here, for the most part, it happens from people who are friends and don't really mean me any irritation...unless they're trolls or the random know-it-all watcher who is a self-proclaimed well of knowledge and omnipotent understanding who simply must share everything the have gleaned from life with everyone they come across. *ahem* But, luckily, I don't see THOSE people too often ...although there was one person who forbade me from drawing frogs ...at any rate, this message isn't directed at anyone in particular, it's just a message.
...going to bed now. See ya! *waves*
...wow, I feel better already. ...hot and tired as heck...but feelin' lighter with this off my chest

Due 2 hiz Condition he'z Unaware of the Arguementz I've had with Hiz Caretaker cause Levelz of Stress can Make hiz illness Worse, but She Spoke 2 me in a Rude manner an Tried treatin me Like a Kid which Backfired....
So I'm totally With about bein Belittled by Anybody, I don't Tolerate that Nonsense....
My mother even gets it in her 50s. A vice-principal at the school she worked at used to say "I'm going to talk to you like you're adults" - which they *were*.
as for treating you like a child.. hmm granted, that doesn t happen to me a lot (usually i am being considered older than i actually am) but i don t like belittling people either. Well meant advice is ok, provided it is given in a way that doesn t suggest the receiving person is stupid. For example if someone is stating his opinion on a matter, adding his ideas on how it can be solved. This way the decision is still with the recipient, whether he/she wants to make use of that suggestion or to discard it. People telling me how to do stuff usually make me furious, for i can think for myself quite properly.
sometimes its just good to let things off your chest like this,
see your already feeling better! *i give you warm hugs* hope you have/had a good rest
And whenever I suggest a fleet of roving Sterilization Vans I'M the one that gets the dirty looks
I don't care what they look like, where they come from, how low/high their IQ is or if they have three eyes and 18 legs, act like a knob and it's the van for you!!!
