Title: Do I confront or bottle it up?
Post by: Bubblemama on June 14, 2014, 08:27:13 AM

I have a real dislike for somebody. I dislike everything about her. Do I confront her and tell her exactly that and how I feel or do I keep it to myself. I'm getting to the point of letting it bubble up inside me. Now I don't know if I feel particularly strong about this because I am very vulnerable right now or whether this is a true feeling. I apologise if I sound harsh. Feeling like this is not a familiar thing to me as I always try and see the best in everybody but my word this person has seriously rubbed me up the wrong way x

Hello!
I'm the type who likes to confront things .... and many times I get very angry too ..... however in the long run I realise that if I go beyond my limits it backfires at me and in the end I remain with a lot guilt that becomes difficult to shirk off. So I've learnt that at times it is better not to give a damn and look the other way. I often feel vulnerable so in the end I find myself paying the price.
My best wishes!!
Grace

Hi Grace

Thanks for your rely. I too get very angry. I think if i actually cared for this person i wouldn't have any guilt at all. I have tried to look the other way but she has just got the better of me. I really hope for her sake that our paths do not cross today because i don't think i would be able to be held responsible for my actions. I am boiling inside.
Im sorry if you think i am overreacting in anyway x

No, Bubblemama I will not think you are overreacting as only you know the person involved and how her behaviour is effecting you!
I will keep you in my thoughts ...... and whichever way I will not judge you! What we need here on this forum is understanding, a place where to vent, love and empathy!

Thank you Grace. I didn't think that you would judge me for reacting in the way I am being about this person.
I absolutely agree with what you have said about what we need on this forum. At times we all need, support, love and understanding and most of all a place to vent. This forum has been my release on so many occasions and people here are absolutely fantastic!!

Thank you again Grace. You have been a massive help to me today xxxx
