I've learnt that life is too short, I try and not get annoyed by things I can't change.
Losing my temper changes nothing, and just get's me stressed.
I gave an example of road rage, many people lose it, things escalate and it's all for nothing.
I leave people to it, much more chilled like that. Someone cuts me up, go ahead if you're in a rush. Me beeping my horn, flashing my lights and swearing at them is at best going to leave me stressed, and at worst cause them to jump out their car and attack me.
Too many people nowadays get worked up over the most trivial things, and for what? You could get hit by a bus tomorrow.
I could have gone nuts, shouted screamed and banged stuff, but what would it have done? I'm still not going to be with her, and it's just going to give her a reason for her friends to try and start on me.
I'm still pretty young, not married, no kids, so things could be a lot worse.
This sounds a ton like me tbh. Passive, but not to the point where it enables people walking all over me. More like, if people want to act shitty, that's their prerogative, I'll do my best to avoid them and most likely the way they act will come back to bite them one day from someone that isn't quite as reasonable as myself, or maybe they work out their issues, who knows. Meanwhile you get a clear conscience and get to live pretty chilled. There's very few instances where I've felt I actually needed to stick up for myself, and when I do, it really is quite stressful.
