Do you just be quiet sometimes when others get on your nerves?

I find there are times when I just have to be quiet. I just need to take time collecting my thoughts. Trying to stay out of the line of fire. It is something I have done a lot in my life. Sometimes I want to explode and tell people off.........Have a blessed day!

Since as long as I can remember I have been letting people walk over me but nowadays I get more and more mad which has led to a few outbursts. It is much better to let people know that they are bugging you rather then bottle it all up. $-MrDollars-$

How true you are MrDollars! I was just like you, very closed-lipped and just let people say what they want to say but the older I get, the more my mouth opens but I still watch WHAT and HOW I say things

You are very lucky to control yourself that much. I had said some very mean things but I guess it really depends on what the person is doing to me to tick me off so much. I have known some pretty mean people so I do not rally regret what I had said to them. $-MrDollars-$

I think this is good so that you can think everything through. but sometimes if an issue is bothering you sometimes something needs to be said. But if that is the case it is good you take the time to think about it before acting. Emotion can lead us to saying things we might regret later.

Once you say something ryzach, you cannot take it back so that is why I just lay low sometimes because I try not to hurt people's feelings.

Yes, I'm with you all the way. Staying out of the line of fire is a full time occupation with my wife and daughter allied together. Have a peaceful day yourself!
