September 17, 2013 - Why Do I LET People Piss Me Off So Much



Or, how to overcome my own issues to accept people as they are, and get over myself...

One of my mentors has told me I have to get away from all of the negative people in my life. I have done so with one person. I have a relative of mine I need to keep close to me for obvious reasons. This person is the most negative, energy sucking caustic people I have ever met. Yet I must remain close to them.

One of my other mentors is helping me deal with this person. My mentor is encouraging me to look at the negative person, (Hey, let`s call that person “M”) in a light that will allow me to look into their past experiences. 

“M” is a very negative energy in my life. I am doing my very best to look past the negativity to see WHY this person is why they are. And I think I know some of the reasons....

Unfortunately, I am bringing my past experiences with “M”. I am not going to tell you what transgressions I fell have happened to me as my memory will change the actual events. And really, those events are unimportant.

I truly believe in what I am about to write. I honestly believe that the things that most piss me off that “M” does are things I do that piss me off...

I hope I have this name right... Dr. Roger Berkman said a couple of things I truly believe in. “We are we see others”, and he also said, “We are least tolerant of those negative traits in others that we ourselves possess.”

Crap.

You know what that means? What pisses me off the most about other people is what pisses myself off about myself. So, when the person who interrupts conversations so much bothers you.... that means YOU interrupt a lot!!!!!!!

So next time you are looking at someone and saying to yourself, “Man, I hate it when she does that!” Reflect on yourself and try to see where you do “that”, and stop doing it. All of a sudden, it won’t bother you when someone else does it....

Give it a try and see where it leads you. Maybe a more peaceful existence...
