I am a "people pleaser" and this point is my single biggest undermining downfall. Instead of simply stating my opinion and being able to handle the fall out - I want everyone to agree with me so that I don't feel like I have disappointed anyone with the wrong decision.
Know what I mean??
Amen, sister.

Boy, you got that right. People always want to fight with me about astrology and I quit caring who thought what about it 10 or 15 years back.
I don't agree with you!!
I *know* you're right, but I'm like bankergirl - it hasn't sunk completely into my system yet. I'm getting better, though.
yup...i agree.
: )
I don't anymore. I give my opinion, and that's it. Anyone wants to argue theirs is better than mine, couldn't care less. I respect theirs, and leave them be. There is some fact in every opinion. How much, is widely varied.
Does this then also mean that we also spend too much time worrying about what other people think? Hmmm...
How very true.
But arguing is fun!
Arguing is fun, but losing isn't. ^^;; Two e-props for you.
I agree with fires, a good old fashion argument is good to clear the air, but I'm still guilty of the statement
No kidding! If you're secure in what you believe then why care who else believes it?!
