How do you blow off steam when someone is wrong on the Internet?
Honestly, if it's important enough to me, sometimes I think about how to fix the problem in a larger sense. Usually when someone is wrong on the internet they're not the only one with the views they have or the wrong approach that they have. I think about what larger problem that person is a symptom of and try to think of ways to combat that problem overall. Then again, when I have problems with people being wrong on the internet it is not only because people are factually incorrect (but that can be a part of it) but because they're also assholes. So I try to come up with ways to combat assholes in life overall. Then next time (there will always be a next time you meet assholes) you'll either have ways to get less pissed and waste less of your own time, or ways to defeat them in argument (only if you are fairly confident you can, or else it's better to walk away), or ways to combat the problem indirectly such as with advocacy or convincing people to be allies on your cause.None of this is entirely satisfactory when I'm really pissed but it helps me blow off some of the steam.
Why is it that everyone I know, keeps on blowing me off?
It could be that your plans weren't that good to begin with;like they found more fun people to hang out with. Or it could be you have a bad attitude and they don't want to be around you. Or it could be that something important really did come up,like one of their family members is sick or something. Or it could just be that you have shitty friends
Did this guy blow me off?
Yep..he gave you the slip
How should you blow someone off without coming off rude?
Don't give people false expectations! That will make things far more difficult for you. Meaning, don't act like you have met your new BFF if you, as said, don't even want to be bothered with them.If you meet them only once, how can they even be able to push you that much? By SMS? Just say/write something like "Sorry, it was nice (not very nice) to meet you, but I have too little free time as it is".Next time you meet someone who wants your time, be honest, say you can't promise to meet again. Anyway NOT say "Oh,my god, that will be soooo nice. I can't wait to meet you again, this have been sooooo much fun" if you don't mean it. That is plain dishonest, and you can blame yourself.If you practice honesty, this will give you less problems. Either you got to little time or too little energy for new people in your life, be honest about it. Most people will understand. If they don't understand, so what? You didn't want them in your future life in the first place.Good luck! All the best.
This scorpio guy has blown me off? i don't understand him?
i dont get it.. we have been seeing each other for about 5 weeks, so its still very early. up until only a few days ago he seemed keen, initiating texts, asking to meet up etc. anyway for new years he said i could join him and his friends watching local fireworks and then go on to club.. on the day i texted him. and he didnt get back to me until about 7pm, and said he couldnt get my name on the list so i could join him for the fireworks if i wanted but then couldnt go to the club. it was really humiliating. i just replied saying i was already at another party and that i wouldnt bother coming as there wouldnt be much point. he hasnt texted me today to see how my night was.. i don't understand! why was he so keen only 3 or 4 days ago, and now this?
Im so angry, my dad blows me off.?
All I can say is I am soooo sorry and I know how you feel it breaks your heart. My parents have been divorced since I was 4. He wasn't the best dad to my mother and my stepmother. But because he was my daddy I didn't listen to people I was daddy's little girl. Now we don't speak at all. He used to say I love you every conversation. But then it got to sometimes saying it, then it got to the point that if he did say it I didn't believe him. I felt like I disappointed him or something, but I don't know what it was. But everyone told me to just stick up for myself and ask him what was going on. I was the type of girl that would never out-speak my father for anything. But I finally did ask him what was going on, and how he felt well our conversation ended up bad. But that doesn't mean that yours will. Just be straight forward with him. Ask him what is going on?? Ask him if it has anything to do with you, if you did anything wrong. It wont hurt to ask honestly....
Which excuse is the best in terms of blowing off a girl that I had plans to sleep with tomorrow?
Don't lie, just be honest.I was once the girl that you're about blow off.I had just got done showering, shaving, the whole nine. Then I get a text, just as I’m putting my clothes, almost ready to start the 40 minute drive to his house.“Don't come because I'm at the ER with my daughter. She had an asthma attack.”I sent well wishes and stayed home for the night.The next evening I was working until 10pm. During the last hour of my shift, he texted me, wanting to see me. I usually didn't go out after work because of the time, but I thought screw it.I was almost 11pm. I knock on his door and he lets me in. He didn't have a ton of furniture, but he did have a massive computer desk with three monitors on top of it and chair in front of it. I chose to sit in said chair while he was in the bathroom.Once glance at the middle monitor shows a skype chat brought up in full screen. I got to see the following exchange between him and a friend that had timestamps of the night before.. The night he was “at the ER with the daughter”..Friend: “Want to play some League?” (a computer game)Him: “Sure, let me just get out of this thing I had planned.”The rest of the conversation was about game strategy etc.Long story short, I confronted him about it and he tried to worm out of it, but I just walked out for the last time.Don't be that guy. Be upfront.
How do I manage working with a boss who blows me off?
Honestly, I've dealt with this and I forced my boss to listen and it got me fired. Your best bet is to weigh how necessary it is to communicate with your boss. To protect yourself you should insist that everything be in writing. A boss that fails to communicate will eventually have to blame you for not following instructions that he/she never actually gave you. So to protect yourself, always send a follow-up email reiterating any instructions you've been given. At the least, it'll provide you notes seeing as how they're probably not gonna tell you more than once. Worse case scenario, you'll have proof that your boss fails to communicate via several emails they failed to reply to.
My boyfriend always blows me off?
I'm sorry if this is a little rant-y and long but i'm honestly beginning to get tired of it. We've been dating about 9 months and he's blown me off countless times that I don't even care anymore. He'll always ask me to hang out (I stopped asking because when I do it never happens) and say he misses me and loves me and wants me with him, and when I am with him, everything's fine and normal. He assures me I never bore him, but there's just always a dumb excuse, mainly it's having this "band" practice with his best friend (his friend is constantly over, he sleeps over almost every night and is there about every day). I don't try to be pushy or overwhelm him, and i'm a good girlfriend to him. He'll ask me to hang if his friend can't, and i'll be stupid, and wait for him and they'll end up hanging out and i'll be sitting at home. Today, he said they were having practice early but it rained, but the rain stopped at 12 but, he said they were hanging out during the time he was suppose to come over my house instead??? Lately I only see him like, once a week. His friend will even say that HE wants to leave to see HIS OWN girlfriend. I honestly just feel so angry and he thinks im overreacting. I don't even have the desire to hang out with him since its always a hassle. Btw we're both 18. Am I overreacting about this?
How do I get my boyfriend to open up and be more honest with me? He always says I would freak out on him, but I never have…
Consider seriously letting this boyfriend slip off into the night. If he thinks that by telling you the truth about his thoughts and activities you would “freak out,” he probably knows you would disapprove and possibly even be terrified about some of the things he’s up to. Life is too short. Why court trouble? There are an awful lot of guys out there. Go to places that interest you and connect with people who share your values. Sure, bad guys are always interesting but he’ll screw up your life a lot faster than you’ll bring out the best in him.
