Zodiac : Cancer gets easily irritated by Stupidity

Tweet

I posted this quote on facebook a few days back because it describes me to a T. I am very very very easily irritated when it comes to stupidity from others. Sometimes, even if their "stupidity" isn't truly stupidity but I might feel it is. I'd like to say that I am trying to better myself from this but I can't honestly say that I am. I do try to keep my thoughts to myself on it though. Though sometimes, if someone is truly being stupid and irritating, I will call them out on it. ESPECIALLY if I feel offended by it. I try to express myself in the nicest way possible, but I also have a "fire temper." Or a "Quick to draw" temper. I want to lash out and HURT the person that is hurting me. I'm pretty good at it too. Yeah, I shouldn't be proud of that I'm sure. It's not that I am really proud of it, but I am proud when it comes to calling people out on something that they think I don't know about. I used to be more "in my shell" about things. I might get offended but I'd internalize it instead of letting it out. Now I guess you could say I don't take crap from others, regardless of whether they truly mean to offend me or not. I'm going to let them know how I feel on it. Sometimes, with that quick temper and later regret. Sometimes with the wherewithal to step back and think of how best to express how I feel. Last night I did that. I was offended and upset at work over something and I waited until I felt I could express myself in a manner befitting the situation. I did, however, explain that I had to think about it first and that if I still sound angry I apologize. Anyway, I let the person know how I felt about a situation and all I got back was excuses. I threw those excuses back at them in a rational manner and they well, they shut up. They knew they had no argument with me because I was right in the way I felt and right in my rationalization of their supposed argument. I hope that makes sense. Essentially, someone tried to pull the wool over my eyes but I slapped the wool out of their hand and threw it back at them. I am honest to a fault sometimes and yes sometimes that gets me in trouble. I no longer care if it does though because I won't retreat into my shell as easily as I once did.
