Sometimes I get so mad I have to leave the computer for an hour or two or over night to get my brain clear lol. Some people can be super aggravating.
The thing is, once I am out of the conversation and coming back fresh, I realize how insignificant the thing was and how it really isn’t an important thing in my life. In a week no one will remember it. There are a lot more important things to worry about.
I guess over the years I have learned to pick my battles. If no one will remember it in a few days, it’s totally not worth the aggravation.
Re. friends – I am good friends with an ex-aff manager, he is not in the biz anymore so business doesn’t enter things at all. But, the majority are just well trained sales people.
That doesn’t mean one can’t have fun relationships with them, it just means one can’t attach oneself like Pat did. The sentence “he prayed with me” kind of showed me they had stepped over the line, for a lot of people that is about as intimate as you can get.
Anyway, Pat felt badly hurt and betrayed, and you walked into her path of fire and caught a bullet. Could have happened to any of us – and has. And will again. It’s not personal…
