Before they start talking
You need to realize that being liberated from a jungle mix of undignified words that has being set to tear you down, to cause you worry, to make a puncture on your self esteem is not a straight forward success, the path is actually convoluted and narrow.But, having an intuition or foreknowledge of what's to come makes you more prepared.
However, some of us are "fortunate" enough to have experienced some little samplings of what to come, we offcourse, at that time don't think we know what's really happening or what the deal is, but we know that before they start talking there must or would have been some enviable progress you've embarked on or about too.Have you ever wondered why some people are just so stubborn about their ideas, dreams or the way they live there lives, that's how they react to it.Remember this, "No matter how carefree a person is about what people say,that doesn't mean that they don't think about what's being said later in their own corner". From where I come from such men have thick bark.
So, before they start talking, the general phenomenon employed is acceptance.This in it's own way makes the world go round. We need to accept this people for what they are, expect the worst but try to see their best.Some issues made them what they are, or they just feel inferior hence the oppressive attitude, maybe. But doing this, will make you feel cheerful at most times instead of being malicious.You need to accept people as they are you can't change them even if they are your family. A colleague once told me the story of her life, she said when she was younger,her Father constantly abused her verbally.But now that's she of age and in the world on her own,she now understands what her Father deal was, later,she was faced with lots and lots of snobbish comments especially in her line of work.One day,she came to a dénouement that if her Father could have said such offensive words to her,then their's naught.
Either way, that's how it is, you could say my friend is now more experienced.Don't we all learn new things from this life.If some people don't say bad things about you, it's either you are a nobody or probably dead.Na So things dey.
