  • How Can a Mear Comment Affect Your Day?

    Thanks for all your great responses!

    I did have someone make a comment that got to me a bit. It was J's ex wife at a softball game over the weekend. Actually the comment was to him about me and I know she meant no harm. We were all sitting in the bleachers and I had asked him for a bite of his pretzel and he looked at me and said "no" with a smile on his face. He was reaching for the pretzel at the same time, to give me a bite, when the ex turned around and hit him. She said "She may take your shit but I don't have too!"

    I was not sure whether to laugh or get mad at her. Since we were at a kid event I let it go and let him handle it. He looked at me like she was nuts and shrugged. Then I did laugh. She had no clue what had really occured.

  • I had a comment that I thought was going to change my life.  I guess it only changed it for a time.

  • Does a hubby saying "this is forever" count? We all know how that one turned out.

    Smugs'n'Hooches!

  • ..........Like You're Beautiful?

  • Mere.  And yes.  Happens all the time.

  • One of my subs called me an asshole one day. We've been friends ever sinse.

  • Thought-provoking!!!

    Yes~I think a comment "can" change your perspective on a day...& it makes you want to pass on good to others...~. (But~then some people are so negative...they want everyone else to be miserable, too...& it can affect a person's day...) I always like to HOPE I am not that shallow that I would let a remark someone made affect my day...~& Yet... Sometimes I think being positive can start a beautiful chain reaction...~.

    Truly Thought-Provoking...

    Wishing you a sunshine & roses kind of day ahead...(((Angel Hugs!)))~The Island Concierge~.

  • Yes, it's happend to me.     The question is, was the comment one that impacted you positively or negatively?

  • The first time he said I love you..

  • Constantly when it has anything to do about my wieght or i perseve it to be about my weight

  • Someone sent me a comment once on Matchmaker.com because I'd set up a profile...  Seven years later, I'm getting married!

  • Hmmmm...I can't think of a comment that did that positive or negitive.   But you know me and how personal I can take things.  So it's not out of the question.

    Did something happen that made you write that?

  • Yeah a while back from one of the Xanga females for sure.....

    WOW new name and all what was up with that...............

    Hope your week is off to a flying start.............BearHugs,,,,,,,how does that make ya feel???? LOL.have a great week

  • ^"Xanga females" - aww, we're a nice group, lol!

    Wow, I guess the ex-wife totally misinterpreted J's actions.  I think the laugh between you and J was the right reaction!  :-p

  • Somone told me, "you look like your mother." She's been dead over 20 years. mmm

  • Sounds like she is a bit green he is happy.

  • That was weird, that she weasled her way into your, private, exchange with J. And she'd better watch her language, being at a kids game.

    I thinks many comments effect a person, but how we take them depends on our mood at the time.
    But the comment of a doctor, telling us that hubby had cancer, yeah...that did change our life.
    Not right away in a good way, ofcourse, but after the first shock wore off, I must say that we have the closest, most loving, family-oriented two years together, before he passed.

    Weird...I know, but there it is, hehe.
    Hugs,

  • Hey, Beauty! I've been off recovering from an injury and some health problems...but feeling much better today! So I wanted to stop by and say HEY and leave you some hugs.

    This was an intersting post. Great question. The answer for me is "yes"....some were negative and some were positive. I try to pay attention to the comments by people I can trust, who are honest with me, you really do care about me...even if the comments are hard to take...and I try to let the other people's comments "go". If I get 100 positive comments in any given situation and 1 negative one, I used to let the 1 negative one overshadow the positive ones. I've learned I need to quit that. If it's something I can learn from, I try to...but if they're just being mean or unfair, I try to let it "go" and not let it bring me down. I have a hard time accepting compliments....so I'm working on that too.

    Well, I rambled too much. Sorry.

    Hugs, C.
