Just Another Jen Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I have to deal with some people that are not known for listening or really being reasonable. I dread confrontations. I'm going to be fine, right? I'm getting it over with tonight so that I don't spend any more time dreading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyco Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Good for you for getting it over with! You'll be fine. If you think it will help, you could practice scenarios in your head before you actually talk to them. Don't expect miracles but be prepared to be surprised--you never know what people are going to do. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm sorry that you're having to deal with people like that. Good for you for actually DOing it! I hope it goes well for you! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Yes, you will be fine. You are not responsible for their response or reaction, you are only responsible for your end. I also hate confrontation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia64 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I listen to music that totally jazzes me up. Usually songs where women are getting some kind of revenge or have a "I don't have to take it" attitude in the song. I also walk for 45-minutes to dispel anxiety. Once I played a game where I told myself that if I could keep my cool w/ so-and-so I'd get a new dress afterwards. It worked. Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Another Jen Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 It went well. I went into it having no expectations of cooperation and I got some, so it ended up feeling like a win. I did drink a 32 oz diet coke at 7pm which turned out to be a mistake. Between that and the after conflict adrenaline rush I tossed and turned til 230 am and have been up since. But, it's over. I'll nap this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 You could go out and see if the meteor shower is still happening. My cat woke me up at 3am again and ds and I went out to watch. We saw a few. I'm glad you're meeting went well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Another Jen Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 You know I did look out, but we have too much light pollution in the city to see anything. :( That is about the only thing I miss about rural life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
