How do you avoid confrotations?
I mean nobody likes to get involved in stuff that could escalate into full blown war,especially in the office.
I am a firm believer of mutual respect, no matter age,gender,social status or physical attributes. I absolutely cannot stand being disrespected and as you would expect, i get disrespected all the time. At home,on my way to work ,at work,EVERYWHERE! Its like people know that this is what i hate and they go out of their way to dish it out.
I simply cannot understand insensitivity to people’s feelings. Words are really strong and can go a long way in nipping things in the bud,and it can also escalate the most trivial matters. For example at my place of work, i try to maintain a cordial relationship with everyone,from the security guards to the office assistants. I greet everyone politely and simply want to be left alone.I am not!I have heard the most outragoeous rumours about me ranging from immorality to whatever u can think of and i begin to wonder,why?
Are people so idle that they have to manufacture stuff about each other or they just do it for the fun. What do you do in this instance. Do you march to the rumour mongerer or do u take the higher road and keep quiet. I have been keeping quiet but believe me its not as easy as it sounds.I was once this close to physically harming one of them,but i stopped myself.A lady does not engage in street brawls.
Anyway it always better to be the mature one and maturity has nothing to do with age,believe me.
