Running Scared

I really think people, for the most part, have lost their balls. People just aren't candid about things and they beat around the bush regarding what they think or feel. People complain to the wrong people rather than having the balls to address the issue with the person they have the problem with. Of course, you have to say and do things with tact and respect, but being up front about your feelings is paramount in my opinion. Let me give you some examples:

I hear people complain about their husband or wife all the time. Rather than bitch and moan about them, talk to them and resolve the issue with them rather than talking shit to others about it. If the problem can't be resolved after confronting it with them you have two choices, deal with it, or leave. It's quite simple.

People complain about others at work, especially their bosses. If someone annoys you or does something wrong to you, confront them or take the proper avenues to resolve it, don't bitch and moan and do nothing about it.

Then you have the people who complain about their childhood, their life, their past, etc. I say make changes and fix it or shut the fuck up. If you are seeking help, then listen to what the help is saying. Bottom line is, you can't be helped if you are unwilling to help yourself. Have the balls to face things and rid yourself of them if that's what you really want. If you'd rather be miserable, then do so. Just leave others out of your misery and don't drag them into it.

Then people complain about their man/woman not satisfying them sexually. Tell the person what it is you want so they can accommodate you. Not saying anything or bitching to others won't help you. Be open about it.

Then you have the people who, while eating a Big Mac and fries, complain about their weight. I say get off your lazy ass and confront your issue. Join a gym, start running, diet, do something. You are not burning that many calories by bitching and moaning about it.

The bottom line is, unless you have the balls to make changes or discuss issues with people related to the problem, the problem won't be solved. I am not saying to be petty about every little thing, but if something is really bothering you, have the courage to change it or make your feelings known.

I could go on and on about this topic. I think people lack the confidence to express themselves. They are intimidated by their own feelings sometimes.

In relationships, letting your feelings be known is the key. Too many people cheat on their husbands/wives because they don't have the balls to either talk to their mate about problems or they don't have the balls to leave. A true sign of a weak person. I despise people like that.

Ugh, I hate when people can't speak up about stuff that bothers them as I am the first one to let people know if they are pissing me off! Around here they chalk it up to me being a rude norhterner :)

DAMN STAIGHT! i completely agree with you - communication is sooo important in everything one does in life. and doing things with "tact and respect" is vital to that communication, as was proven to me today...

Yeah like people who don't answer the phone.

Your timing is perfect as this chica is going to be "communicating" BIG TIME with a certain colleague today who has been pissing me off for far too long. I may be a bit short on the tact part.
