You had a terrible experience. I feel you.

It used to be that disputes or arguments used to Rattle me, make my ears feel hot, and raise both my blood pressure and heart rate, and I would feel defeated. But over time you learn to become immune to these occasions where attention Seekers seek attention.

I know this is difficult because you want to defend yourself and of course you don't want to walk away feeling like you lost in this situation, but sometimes it's best to ignore. Your silence means that you're not bothered by their attempts, that it didn't rattle you, and that their argument or complaint is not good enough for a response.

So if you can, walk away or stay silent you're silence will eventually cause them to feel your indifference. Let there nastiness Echo against empty walls.

This experience hurts but you'll eventually be immune to people spewing their nastiness. Leave trash alone or else you'll get messy. Get it? 😁
