conversations

Below are a collection of some interesting/fuuny conversations (had or heard).
Anonymity remains. Some info was omitted for privacy reasons.

Person A: Its important for mgrs to stand up for you, but its equally imp't they let you stand up for yourself -- that they give you wings to fly and not shelter you so much. Too much sheltering and protecting makes someone weaker than you think. Once on their own, how will they learn to walk by themselves, you know? (No more training wheels) You need to fail in order to succeed. You need to have a tough outer skin… and that's something achieved when ppl are forced to stand up for themselves. Again, there's 2 sides to the balance scale. I have too much of a weight on one side -- its not balanced. *sigh*.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


Person A: It could also be growing pains…You realize new feelings you've never felt before or things that have bothered you that normally wouldn't. Sometimes this thing called "Life" happens", and it makes us feel utterly miserable. But the human mind is strong. We overcome more than we credit ourselves.

I'd say, as a temporary solution to feeling better, weigh it out… do the good things in your life outweigh the bad? If so, that's a good start. I've heard that some women don't find true happiness and contentment in their life until they've reached 30 or 40 or even 50. Scary, right? But our 20s are supposed to be the awkward years… finding ourself, realizations, feelings, adulthood.

Person B: But I’m normally a happy person… no not really I’m normally an unhappy person who’s expression is happy.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Person A: See... It goes to show, when someone gets caught up in complaints, they forget to see the other not-so-bad things in another person. I think if other couples were to think about the "scales of balance", there'd be less complaints in a relationship.

It's weird how humans sometimes forget to detect some of the silver linings within our own lives, but its easier when you are an observer.

Person B: Yes, I completely agree...that is why you have to surround yourself with objective friends who can see the way you act and give you feedback, and not be afraid of your outburst if they touch a nerve
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Person A: I don’t have money to spend, so that’s how I get myself into debt! *sigh…

Person B: ...I don't even have enough money to spend!!! (crying outloud!)

Person C: Let me add my sad story to this list:
- I've been sick for 1.5 months
- I can't get along w/ animals, which causes me to over-analyze that I absolutely cannot have children.

Note: Life is good. These were complaints for laughs. well, sorta. :P
