Are you the type of person that lets things get to you or the type that lets things roll off of your back?

Define things. I react to what I perceive as “injustice”, big or small against anyone I like or care for – or feel empathy for – but most other issues don’t worry me. I certainly don’t hold grudges – I have experienced too much of life to take it seriously.

90% of the time I will let things go, which is a good thing, because that other 10% gets the full side of me that I don’t even like.

i do tolerate that side because it does come in handy…it’s a big cold world folks

Most of the time. Very few people have a 100% success rate in this.

Usually I let stuff go. Much of what happens in life really is not as important as people try to make it.

When I do choose to make a stand it is on big issues.

I wish I could be more like my husband. It’s 50/50 for me. Just depends on my mood. or if I have my husband by my side to remind me to just let it go.

I look at what bugs me, weigh what affect I can have on it by acting out, look at who all is effected if I take action, consider what negatives I could run into and then… I choose.

I often don’t get why people would get upset by things. People also often ask me if I ever get mad.

However, if I do feel injustice has been done I can really let something get to me.

Depends on the situation but I am learning to control my emotions..sometimes things bother me and they shouldn’t..sometimes I have every right to be upset but choose to stay in control until I cool down..it is hard to be balanced

There are very few things that I can’t let go of. I have more important shit to worry about most of the time.

I am a person who holds on to things until it tears me apart. I’ve tried “learning to let go”, but I just don’t think I am to that point yet. I think too much, and until I accept that I deserve good things to happen to me, I am going to let the bad stuff eat me alive.

I’m much more of a let things go type of person than I used to be, and I actually owe a good bit of that to my time on Fluther. The times that I still get my panties in a wad are when people espouse negative perceptions of me that are untrue or when I butt heads with a user who violates my sense of Flutheryness (for lack of a better term). Many times I have been overcome by the drive to take those kinds of people to the mat until they cry uncle or leave.

I used to take things personally and get bummed out by much of it. Through yoga (which I only started doing to improve my flexibility so I wouldn’t end up in a wheelchair someday), I’ve become much calmer and apparently more confident since I don’t take things nearly as personally as I did a year ago. I’ve been able to forgive some pretty bad stuff lately as well. Life is good.

I’m controversial…depends on the subject.

I remember a lot, let’s just say that

I suffer from bouts of indignity once in a blue moon but I’m also a very patient, forgiving, and understanding person by nature so it’s safe to say that I shrug off most of my problems and only contend with a small number of them that might have the potential to significantly bother me.

I have developed the ability to completely turn off when I need to. It took a while but it is useful as it allows me not to react to things that are not truly important. Very few issues require my wholehearted concern.

@Midnight_Blue I have developed the ability to completely turn off when I need to.

You didn’t seem to be turning off to Blondesjon on that other thread.

@DarkScribe

>You didn’t seem to be turning off to Blondesjon on that other thread.

I know. I was bored and there was no one interesting in any of my chat-rooms. I have another two hours to kill and don’t feel like reading. I am still new here and was forgetting that this isn’t really a chat.

i’m more likely to let someone that wronged me get off easy than someone who wronged either a friend, or is being discriminatory. i let most insults that come my way roll off my back for the most part, but i get defensive when it’s to someone else i care about, or when someone’s being bigoted.

but i always remember!
