Riddle me this: How do you stop caring what others think of you?

Sometimes, it's good to get a consensus about something (usually something personal).
Other times, it's not a Democracy. The words, actions, intents, will or desire of others cannot replace the necessary element that is you.
It will always be your life. Drive it like you own it.

How do you stop relying on what everyone else thinks

When you get tired of paying the consequences for intents that really don't fit your life pattern.

I really have to stop living for other’s approval.

Do married people fall in love with another person easily?

I think you have to fall out of love (at least to a certain degree) with the person you’re married to first.

After nearly 20 years, 4 kids, and TONS of frustration on my part, my husband has said that we should divorce.

Wow, Pepper J, with all that you do, when do you have time to sleep? You’re amazing!

I’m sorry you’re going through this rough patch. Has he mentioned discussing divorce again since that day?

NFL Superbowl Poll II

Want me to send you a Rams jersey? Yeah, the Superbowl is the most watched event on television every year. Families gather around to watch the game and all the advertisers make special commercials just for the event. Even if you hate football it's fun to watch.

Very true! I might buy a rams shirt just to mess with them 😂 Thanks for the idea!

NFL Superbowl Poll II

We may be watching with my husband’s family, a decent chunk of whom are Patriots fans so this should be interesting.

I feel persecuted

VRBO is my wife's new best friend. You can find some really good deals, especially in the off season of wherever you're going.

I had never heard of it before now. It looks similar to Airbnb.

I feel persecuted

I’ve been feeling the same way over the past few months and at first it really bothered me but then - and here’s the crazy part, because it’s not my personality at all, I have a need to be liked - somewhere along the line, I just stopped caring about whether or not I was the “bad guy”. That’s life, everyone’s story is different. In some people’s eyes, I’m the villain, but the important thing is that I know the truth. So hate me all you want, as long as I love myself, that’s all that matters, right?

PS Everyone needs a vacation to clear their head, even if it’s a small one. You should check out deals on Groupon, I’m sure there’s something affordable. Even if it’s not possible now, definitely save up for it and make it a priority.

Today I encountered a job issue

Thank you , I think I need to think of a more effective way to deal with this.

Maybe a little white lie might be effective here? If you say that A and you had discussed this earlier and A seemed like a really good fit? That it’s nothing personal, and you would’ve offered it to them, but you felt A would be good at it and you wanted to give them a chance?

NFL Superbowl poll

I feel your pain Araz. Hey at least the Eagles made a good game out of it, they had a chance to win in the final minutes. The Colts, Cowboys, and Chargers were all behind so far at half time that the games were essentially over. Maybe we need a new poll with the last four teams....

Yes we need a new poll!
