I always have the best blog topics after talking with my girlfriends. It’s so funny how random it always comes up. So here we are on the topic of PEOPLE… yeah PEOPLE. We had a bit of a discussion on how some PEOPLE (yes it needs to be in caps) are in their own categories. You know those PEOPLE, we all know those PEOPLE. The ones who don’t bend, don’t try to understand where you are coming from, don’t even wanna hear what you have to say. They are right for everything. They remind me of children those PEOPLE, it’s like no one can control them, do or say anything to stop their unacceptable behavior. We tolerate them and have always tolerated them. We came to the conclusion that, those PEOPLE are that way because no one ever dared to tell them that they were wrong. No one ever had the guts to tell them “CHECK YOURSELF”, instead just like those whining children in the mall, someone let them throw a fit and gave them their way. I am sure that’s the type of children they were.
Now as adults, how can we expect them to be any different. They have always been allowed to act as they pleased and have always gotten their way. Of course they are never gonna change, why should they? They don’t know any other way and their way has always worked for them.
So we were left thinking “Are they the problem?” , “Are we the problem?”… Regardless of all that, the fact that they won’t even hear anyone else because their way is the best and only way, is quite annoying. I don’t even know how I can have a conversation or a relationship with someone who is like that. So those PEOPLE… Yes I know you know them too. They belong in a class of their own, not for being wrong, because no one is perfect. They belong in their own class, simply for thinking that they NEVER have to listen to anyone else and THEY are the only normal ones. I mean, who told them their way was the right way to begin with?
Do you have any of those PEOPLE in your life? How do you deal with them?

LOL I think I know I few of those PEOPLE… and I actually try to stay away from them. But when they are my friends and God knows I have a few of them like that, I don’t really have the energy to fight them – just let them be. Granted I have my own problems to deal with. Too old to be taking on that kind of silly stress.
I am so glad to know we aren’t the only ones to know those PEOPLE lol Isn’t it sad that we all know we have to let them be. So once again they continue to get their way… *sigh* so tired of it. Silly unnecessary stress indeed. Thanks for sharing.
i’m related with those PEOPLE and am friends with those PEOPLE. refering to your analogy of whining children in the mall it just so happens that they let their children throw those tantrums in public and play with whatever they want and call me a “neurotic” mother when i dont let my kids do the same.
OK so I totally agree with Flo King…like sometimes people say things to you that is so inconsiderate or self-focused and in your head you’re thinking “what is this person on!?” but you don’t say anything because you know they’re going to have something to say back and retaliate and are way too stubborn to even consider what you are saying, so you just let it be and stay SILENT! Just takes way too much effort to communicate with people like that and you end up just leaving them in their own world. I think a lot of us that don’t have the energy let those people be and keep thinking how they want to which fuels them to continue to think that the way they think is right. So its like an endless cycle. And they get more and more confident as more and more people just let it be. Because if this many people have listened to what they say and don’t tell them otherwise then the more confidence or leverage they gain if someone does confront them. They think ‘I can’t be wrong cus I’ve never been wrong in the way I think’. WRONG!! And like you think whether you should feel sorry for these people because you know that other people must also think that they are a bit messed but don’t say anything to them (like I believe real friends tell each other wassup). But then again no, there is absolutely no reason to feel sorry for them because they are feelin’ damn good about themselves.
