Okay then... I gotcha...Let me tell you a story..a short one.. i have a co-worker who is down right nasty, manipulative and rude. she says what she wants and thinks she is the most entiltled b*&%# I have ever met................The day is coming my friend when she is going to say something and I am going to let it rip...Nice can only take you so far...I am polite and I do not speak to people this way..but man ...she is going to get it..and people will look at me and never knew I had it in me..and you are probably going to say...You should report her right????? well she has everyone so snowballed into thinking she is so great and so wonderful..It is maddening...

So...how do you respond to someone who literally....is plain rude, puts herself up on her pedastal and puts everyone down so she looks good...she is manipulative, backstabbing and then turns around and says your her friend???

I really think she is psychotic..

She needs to be stopped hehehehehe..

Sorry way off topic....

Jenny & Kristin,
I am an Aquarius so I am extremely emotional and stubborn.That also means I have a tendency to speak before I think...LOL
I tell people you may not always like what I have to say but it will always be the truth as I see it.  My mouth got me into alot of trouble in school when I was younger...LOL
One thing I dont do is worry about what others think of me. I have always been an individule in my appearance. I have had my hair pretty much every color in the rainbow and have never been one much to follow the latests trends. I am comfortable with who I am. My parents are somewhat responsible for the way I am. They always allowed me to be myself. They never really cared about the fact I had dreadlocks or blue hair.lol As long as I got good grades and did not get kicked out of school they were cool with it. Now as an adult I feel that no one has the right to be nasty or disrespectful to me. I just will not allow it. I am not saying that I am always right by any means. There is just a right way to talk to people.I treat others the way I want to be treated. Even though I am honest I am not mean with it. Some folks cannot seperate being a B**ch from being honest.
I cannot teach you how to speak your minds... But I can tell you to be honest with yourselves. You cannot go through life wanting or needing the approval of others! Be  comfortable in your own skin. You are never going to please everyone and thats ok!
Please Take Care, Theresa

I am the same way.  I sometimes wonder if I would be a little closer to a dx if I was just pushier!!  I worry about hurting feelings, I worry what people think of me, I worry about how I come across...I just need to come out with it!

OMG...you remind me so much of my friend Midge...she could not hurt a fly..literally...she catches bugs that are stuck in er home and lets them go.......

could you teach me that? ...to say what you feel(mean)? I need to learn to do that..Eveyone does that, they don't hold back..me, I can't, "don't want to hurt anyone's feelings", While I get stomped on.....Is there a book that teaches you that..boy if i could just let it rip.....;o)

I'm a Pisces so we wishy washy fishies are just that way...
