This is one of those blog posts in which I hope you can
get a lil “Sumthin’ Sumthin’” from. I
don’t know really what to call this post, because I’m currently sitting here writing
this hoping to inspire someone to just – Be the better person.
So I have dealt with a lot of NASTY people within my 22
years, and I have learnt some lessons I think?.... From being bullied at
school, to being made a fool off by A horrible manager. When these people got
to me, I used to bitch about them of course, because I was angry and wanted
others to hear what I thought! The thing is when you bitch, you sometimes
create more trouble and that is the point of this post I guess?
When I worked in my previous job, (which was a small shop),
it ended with me being fearful whenever I was off work because I was scared of
the things people would be saying about me behind my back. I hated my job, because I was left all the responsibility,
paid minimum wage, and basically did the manager’s job, while they relaxed at
home. I was fed up, because every time they were in work, they’d be-little me in
front of everyone, despite how hard I worked!! I got upset and so confided in
my colleagues – what a mistake! Things got worse and worse, to the point that
everyone spoke about everyone behind their back, and you were always worried
about the other person finding out what you said about them!
So
what’s your point Laura?..... Well I promised myself from
that day on, I wouldn’t speak negatively about someone behind their back unless
necessary, no matter if I had juicy gossip, or something that would affect someone’s
life to benefit mine.
I have mostly kept to my own word, and feel so much
better for it! I mean I weren’t a bitchy person in the first place! But to
confidently feel that I’m not a too faced person makes me have a different, way
less nervous feeling. I hate nastiness, so even if I hate someone and could
ruin their reputation in minutes by spreading a TRUE rumour, I still probably
wouldn’t!
So yea, what I'm trying to say is don't change from being a good person to benefit someone else.
I would also like to point out that of course you need to stand up for yourself in certain situations! Looking back at that situation with the shop I worked at, I was letting them walk all over me, I should have dealt with it professionally! I'm not a strong person to deal with confrontation, and I'm hoping I will be one day!
Anyways, thanks so much for reading!!
Love Laura <3

thankyou :)
DeleteI also try to do this. If someone has been horrible to me, it is just easier to move on than dwell on their nastiness, and if they are really that bad then others will realize in their own time.

DeleteI really enjoyed reading your post! I think it's great that you are trying to do this. Lately I've been feeling the same way, I'm just so tired of all the negativity in my life. The funny thing is I know I actually contribute to it, by talking about other people, so I've been trying to stop. Anyways thank you, you really have inspired me.

I loved this post, it's exactly what I try to do.
ReplyDeleteNegativity attracts negativity I say, and like you I'm not great with confrontations, so it's sometimes hard for my to stand up for myself.
Wise words!
Hmm maybe...
