When you are trying to talk to someone and have an important issues to discuss and you feel you are being ignored ? Not taken seriously ?

Grrr. It does me.

Has this ever happened to you at home or work ? perhaps with your spouse or boyfriend -girlfriend ?

Happy Lotting !

This happened to me several times with my significant other. His principle goes like this, I would rather not respond or react to what you are saying when you are mad so you will not be aggravated but the truth is i am even more irritated. i really hate it when it happens.


myLot reputation of 97/100. moonbutters1 (2315)  2 years ago

I agree,
When it's all said and done I am even more angry simply because apparently my point of view does not matter and so ignored.
Thanks !

Luckily not. It has happened with my teachers. I raise a lot of questions and the teachers look at me in awe but there was this lady who looked at me with disgust. I was fed up with her and she taught science. To slay her more, I raised real technical doubts shocked - not bogus ones. The more I asked, the more she grew disgusted. At a stage, she completely started ignoring and punishing me for no wrong. I simply did not cater to her words as I knew that she is avenging on me devil. But, if she would have hit me, I would have simply hit back - not in the physical sense. But luckily things went on smoothly and I passed out of that darned class.whistle


myLot reputation of 97/100. moonbutters1 (2315)  2 years ago

Yes kar,

There are good teachers and bad ones as we know. My daughter still in college would tell you the same. There is nothing worst than asking a question from someone who is supposed to know more than yourself and getting either a blank stare or being treated as though your question is "Out of line" simply because He or She simply does not know the answer and can't keep up with the student.

Don't worry , I'm sure Bill gates and Stephen Hawkins experienced the same things in school and look where they are now !

You just keep up the good work ! You may be the next Einstein !thumbup

Hello moon,

Oh yeah it happened to me few times with my fiancee and its totally annoying so much for talking without any reaction from the one whom you are talking to.I'm quiet sensitive on this kind I'm easy to shed a tear when I'm talking like no one is listening.lolAfter he knows I'm fed up talking then he will laughed on me it gets me into my nerves!cryangry


myLot reputation of 97/100. moonbutters1 (2315)  2 years ago

I'll give you an example of this morning cloud,

We had a water leak from the roof attached to the upstairs.
Well it ruined the drywall and paint on that wall and part of the ceiling. I am able to repair this myself and have been doing so for about three days. In the meantime there is a hole about 6 inches wide between the studs in the wall.
Now mind you , I have 25 years experience in drywall and am doing all the work. But for three days I have ask him to please cover the plumbing at night to prevent mice, snakes, spyder ect from coming in. HIS part. He keeps putting this off and I am terrified of doing this myself as I am so afraid of that sort of "creature" .

So this morning while I am having my coffee mouse ran across the room in front of me ! well, I FREAKED OUT.. I may have gone overboard I will admit I accused him of not listening to me and covered myself with a blanket for two hours afraid to move.

He called me a "Child" and said I was being a Stupid B*tch and he would do it when he got ready. So yes , at that point I was not only crying but Very angry. I took care of the problem myself even though touching this area inside the wall really scared me.

Anyway , he stormed off and I haven't seen him since.

another day living with a " Brick Wall".
Sigh,

I can't imagine how was your reaction,seeing a mouse while your having a cup of coffee,that's scaryfear,and still saying your a "Child" hahaha.you know what I guess sometimes we need to initiate something before they will do things for us,lol. So,you lost your temper I guess seeing that creator passed into you.You made me laughed imagining you moon!!lolrofl.

The spiders scare me even more than a mouse. My kitty cats will take care of them in short order. They are a tag team.


myLot reputation of 97/100. moonbutters1 (2315)  2 years ago

LOL @ cloud,

Yes , I'll admit I'm a big wimp when it comes to mice and spyders. .cry

To Annie,

I Want a cat both for compaiononship and for the "critters" like that that I am so afraid of. He says no. He dosn't like them.

Sigh,

I don't find spiders scary than the mouse itself, If mouse is around I could jump at least 3 feet of laundry clotheslol..

While spiders I could just let it pass slowly while I'm climbing up into the couch.roflninja


myLot reputation of 73/100. AnnieOakley1 (2645)   ranked 4,003 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  2 years ago

HA! That's what mine said 15 yrs ago when we moved in together, and I got 1 anyway. Then, when he died, HE went out and got me another one. She turned out to be pregnant, had kittens, I gave her and 2 kittens away and NOW WE HAVE 2! rasp Just do it, see what he does. Oh, dear, would he move out. evil grinwink


myLot reputation of 97/100. moonbutters1 (2315)  2 years ago

Hiya Annie,

I'm wondering what would happen if I just slipped one in on him.whistle
Hmmm. Thinking about it.

Hey it worked for you !rasp

seeya !

Yep, been there, done that. *sigh* It is quite distressing when you don't feel you are being heard, ignored or just 'molly coddled' (pretending they hear you). I wish people would be more honest, instead of pretending or worse lying.


myLot reputation of 73/100. AnnieOakley1 (2645)   ranked 4,003 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  2 years ago

As a matter of fact, I think I am married to the biggest 'brick wall'. He is of polish descent and VERY stubborn, so many disagreements ensue stemming from him either misunderstanding me and assuming something else (That drives me absolutely buggy!) or simply because he didn't listen and later tells me I never even told him.angry


myLot reputation of 97/100. moonbutters1 (2315)  2 years ago

Exactly ! I will sometimes say something and he goes "Uh Huh" or "OK", so I am assumming he both heard and understood me . Later he will say I never said it !! GRRRRRR. Then if I say it in a loud voice so I KNOW he hears me then I am BIT*CING.

Honestly, given a choice, I would rather be alone.We have far too many issues.

It depends on what day you talk to me whether I like mine or dislike him. It all depends on how today went. Alot of times I have pleasantly fantasized what it would be like without him around. At those times, I will often remind him, in front of our friends, "Good thing I have a few life insurance policies on him, eh?" And then I laugh. He then tells all of them, that I'm not joking. That I am looking forward to outlasting him. evil grin


myLot reputation of 97/100. moonbutters1 (2315)  2 years ago

Well some days I like mine (even after everything that's happened) but they sure are getting fewer and further between..

Yes, this has happened more times than I can count. It is very frustrating. It would be much easier to convince a brick wall to do something. At least a brick wall cannot argue with you and be stubborn. It just won't talk back but you just wonder if you will be better off just talking to a brick wall. Some people just will not listen and they are utterly stubborn beyond all belief.

I think mostly in the workplace is where I have this problem. With superiors a lot of the time. They have gotten it in their head that things have to be done a certain way. They cannot understand that there are things where it will not go the way that was intended. It is especially hard as there is not much to do to convince them. It is either there way or the high way. They learn the hard way later on and of course the workers are the ones that get blamed. This is extremely frustrating a lot of the time and once again, I think I would be better of trying to convince a brick wall.


myLot reputation of 97/100. moonbutters1 (2315)  2 years ago

Hi meg,
Yep , it's hard at work too and sometimes I have had to "Override" what my Boss might have said simply because I know what works and what dosn't. He has never stood in my shoes and dosn't understand.

Sometimes that is true with men ( husbands ) as well. I can't say this for all men because I know they arn't all like this , but my husband is one of those who considers women to be inferior and therefore must ALWAYS be in charge and make the disisions. Well other than what to cook for dinner or how to wash a window ect. He only admits that I smell better than him .

Oh Well,perhaps I'll win the lottery soon.rofl

Cheers!

Yes and it is the most frustrating aspect of a relationship that is wrong..sorry to say but it is so wrong to invalidate someone like that and there is absolutely no room for it in a loving relationship..no excuses Moonbutters..no one should be treated like that!


myLot reputation of 97/100. moonbutters1 (2315)  2 years ago

Sigh,

I know.. Just trying to think what to do. If I were 20 it would be alot easier !! lol. But , even so , with the Hep. thing now ( aside from everything else), things arn't likely to get better .
