I'm truly amazed at how people want everything to be "their way", naturally, "validated" by whatever they may find as leverage to make what they're wanting come to fruition.

"I'm important," "I've been a viable part of ----- for some time now," or whatever other reasoning that may be used will be verbalized. Is the "reasoning" actually solid ground or is it just part of the overall power struggle of not feeling the situation is comfortable or what they really wanted it to be?

Manipulation & bullying is what I think it is.

Freedom of speech for everyone! (Except those who want their way...they have those they'd like to censor....Maybe I'm a juvenile or am mentally lacking? Control & selfishness, under the guise of "They're not being nice to me!" or "I don't like what they've done!" is a bit silly. That's life....you will never be happy with everyone, what they do, what they say or everything in life comes to pass.)

I wish I could stomp my foot, pout & get my way when I want it!

That would really prove that I'm someone important!

Angie is right..it is a hard lesson to learn that life isn't fair. I learned it early on.

You know what, you are important.

Great blog hun

You ARE someone important!

I think that is the most difficult lesson for the emotionally immature. I always tried to teach my students that there will always be those that they don't like or respect, but they must learn to work with all. They also shook their fists at the heavens complaining about the unfairness of everything--I always asked them where is their guarantee that things are to be fair? It is a most difficult lesson to learn.
