personal story  Where i used to live there were two people a couple of doors away who we used to see and who never talked or really acknowledged me or my then wife(i am divorced now). We were friends with the people next door and they thought the same thing.  A year or so later their son starting playing with our kids and we met them and they turned out to be a couple of the nicest people i know and very good friends who would do anything for you ....lesson learned is that sometimes its easy to judge people to quickly maybe she is just shy. i suggest you try to break the ice and see if she responds

My Mom she has always been there to be protective, supportive, compassionate, loving and kind.  Even though I have an ongoing phone relationship with My Dad now, He was very abusive while I was growing up.  He refused to come to My High School Graduation, Wedding, doesn't know My Children,  and last but NOT least didn't attend His own Son's Funeral.  Guess I should have just said Mom.

yes i do think that i come from a good family, because even though we have our bad days we accept who eacjother has become and is. i was raised in believing that even if i was the queen of the world or on top of the world, if i dont respect or treat others well, then i am not at all the best in the world. even if we live in a horrible world if i dont sell out my family members, or my friends, and i am the best i can be, then everything will work out. but you cant always get what you want but sometimes you can. helping others, and being kind and loving and not trying to hurt anyone intentionally, then i am the best. and i think that a good family is something that accepts everyone and pretty much everythng above. there is more stuff that i can write, but its more like a show or explain in person kind of thing.

I think that you are a warm and beautiful person inside and out and I am lucky to count you as my friend.\n\nSomebody is obviously having a bad day giving all the thumbs down when were being so nice!

This happened on "The happiest day of my life"  MY WEDDING DAY.   \n\nAfter the wedding ceremony was over, my mother who is flesh and blood.  Went to give me a hug, she leaned foward and whisper:\n\n "You have no idea of the hell you just got yourself into."\n\nEver since then, I have spoken to her maybe five times.  And after that happened, on the day of my wedding I stopped talking to my own mother.

Being nice is harder if I genuinely don't want to be.\n\nI have a bumpersticker.\n\n"Recovering Biatch, I try to be nice one day at a time."\n\nPeace.

I have a mother just like that. As far as she's concerned, I have the worst judgement in the world. Basically, if I don't want her to know, I don't tell her. If I feel like I can deal with her opinion, I'll let her in. Someone once told me to view your life like it was a movie theater. Your life is on the big screen and their are people in the theater with you. Some of them deserve to sit up close to you and some need to be in the balcony.

I try to wait for my turn to speak. I was brought up to be patient and polite. But when I was in my late teens I realized that sometimes if I don't butt in no one would listen to me at all. Even if your polite and quiet you deserve to have your opinion heard.

I'm sure that she was just being kind to you and moving out of your way......Relax, hun........Not everyone (even though we are trained from a very young age to believe so) is rude and cynical......Take care!!!!!!!

Man, sometimes nice doesn't work.  A little crazy lady came to my garage sale last week and would not stop talking.  Customers could not talk to me nor I them.  SHe would just up the volume and speed.  this went on for about 30 mins and I tried everything: looking busy pricing things, praying for the phone to ring (please!), saying excuse me and trying to talk to a customer.  Finally, I just had to say, 'please leave. I am trying to have a sale right now and you are preventing me from talking to my customers.'\n\nThis whole time she was telling about how Jesus had changed her life 31 years ago.....After I asked her to leave, she told me she could tell I had not accepted Jesus (I guess because I didn't want to talk religion during my sale) and I was going to hell.  HA!  This was in my home.  reallllly weird.\n\nOk, I'll shut up now.\nlol

I don't know you or your mom but has she said this about any of your other boyfriends?  I didn't believe it and lived to regret not taking the advice of people who really did care for me.  Looking back now I see what I couldn't see then.  Controlling someone else is usually very subtle.  Be careful and always know that your mom will be there if needed.  No matter what he may tell you.  Good luck.

better than you i see!  just kidding. Just answer politely. If youve been good...say good...or fine. Or if youve been sick, say you had a bug for a few days but feel great now. And about this person who causes you problems...i have 3 people who cause a lot of problems..not just with me..but with the whole family and then some. Only one i see on a regular basis now. And when they start into their stuff...i try to always stay nice, unless they get nasty, rude or mean. Then i am firm. And that makes her quit. I dont stoop to her level, because that would make me look as bad as her, i go above her and just let her know that how she acts is not tolerated by me. And she ends up looking like a fool, and i get satisfaction knowing she made herself look bad in the process and trying to get to me.\n\nYou've probably heard the saying "kill em with kindness"?  It really does work.

your not fat dear.Ever think your mother may be jealous of you a little? mothers can be harsh now a days.  your esteem depends on the person you want to be,not some fallacy someone else has in their mind.if you believe your esteem relies on others compliments,you shall not have ahappy life.

I completely agree.\n\nFirst of all, do parents sit down and actually talk with their children?  When their child has a different opinion from their own, do they discuss it?  \n\nWhen I was kid and had an issue with someone (or something) my parents would ask me why I felt the way I did, what were the motivating factors behind my feelings?  They then would challenge me to put myself in the other persons shoes, to come up with possible reasons why the other person would act the way they do.  I learned very young that it takes all kinds of opinions, and that every one of those opinions is absolutely, 100% correct, at least for that person.\n\nPeople just don't listen anymore.  They aren't willing to take a step back and entertain the idea that they may actually be wrong...or at the very least, that there are other ways to view things.\n\nI, for one, am a talker....I talk to my kids.  They know they are free to feel the way they do but they must learn to give others that same courtesy, respectfully.
