I have always been a very easy person to get along with. I am not trying to brag on myself, but when someone needs me and its possible for me to be there for them, I'm there. I also like simplicity. The more complicated you make things or the more you over think things, the higher the chance that it is going to cause you a problem even if there isn't one.
Now, because of these two things, when I do happen to get into an argument with someone, I don't like to let it spin out of control or bring up a bunch of pointless crap that has nothing to do with the argument. I like to state the facts and the reason why I feel the way I do without saying things that I will later regret. Now this is not to say that I haven't done that before, but I usually try not to demean the other person while arguing with them. First of all, usually the reason for the argument is something minor and its not worth ruining a whole friendship/relationship with someone. Second, once you say something you can never take it back completely. You can apologize and the person might even tell you its ok, but they will never forget you said something extremely hurtful to them.
Now there are some people in the world though, that no matter what way you try speaking to them you cant not make them understand or even consider what you are saying. They will not admit they are wrong no matter how much the facts stack up against them. You can not reason with them. You can't talk to them. Literally everything said to them is a waste of breath, because they are so hard headed. The don't care if they are putting a friendship in jeopardy, because they are right, by golly!
So I have decided, I don't need people in my life that are like this. I am not wasting my energy on this kind of crap. Life is too short. I know I am good person and I always try to do the right thing when life happens. So I am not letting one person make me feel less of myself.
