1. So much can easily get lost in translation and what can sometimes come accross as insulting is not intended to be insulting. With the type written form of communication we lose the body language and tone of voice that would be there if it were a face to face conversation.
2. When someone asks a question the person asking the question has to be willing to accept it may not be the answer they want to hear.
3. Not everyone will have great advice. Pick out what you feel is good and discard the rest. There is more than one way to go about doing just about anything so pick the style that works for you and try it. It may or may not work. If not... try something different.
4. Some forums just have some mean people. That's what the ignore button is for. Ignore 'em and forget about 'em.
5. I can't get along with my husband 100% of the time and I chose him. There's no way I'm going to be able to accomplish that feat with people outside of my home either. As long as everyone tries to keep the sand in the sandbox everything will hopefully work out.
6. Sometime we just have to agree to disagree.
I'm in no way trying to be insulting. These are things I have to remind myself of sometimes so I just wanted to share them here. I hope that in some small way it will help other too in those moments that we all struggle with. I hope that whatever has gone on hasn't made you feel like you want to leave the forum. I have WAY too much to learn to be having people skip out on me so you can't go anywhere. |
LOVE #5 that's great
