Don’t go needling me…

I am offended…

How dare y’all tell me I have no reason to be upset…

Don’t talk down to me…

Who do you think you are, speaking to me in such a way.

Who do you think you are, saying that?

Here is something I do not understand: how someone can allow herself to become so affected by the opinions of complete strangers on the interwebs. Be stronger than that. Direct your energy toward more productive avenues.

By responding with such hostility and defensiveness you only diminish your chances of receiving the (non-financial) help you are requesting.

Best of luck to you.

mmm
