HOW I “Deal with it”

how do I deal with conflict? what do I do when I meet someone who does not see me as I see myself? OR vice versa

Let’s talk about ittt

There is probably a handful of people waiting for a reaction from me they will not get. Over the years, I have come to realize that I do not need to engage with everyone.

I used to fight hard to be heard by people who didn't understand me.
Then I looked into conflict-resolution skills and how to improve on them.

TRUE conflict resolution can only happen when BOTH parties are at a place where they are ready to listen.
When both sides are willing to see beyond themselves.

So that solves a lot of problems right there. The people that are worth me explaining myself to, will meet me in the middle ground somewhere.

What happens when people's IDEAS of me are not matching with my own?? What do I do when people are talking SHIITT??

Simple: judging reveals where that person is in relation to their SELF.
Lack of compassion and general self-awareness are apparent at this point.

I refuse to play in the fucking rat race that is, social constructs. Save the bullshit. OR bring it my way and stare at the wall that is my peace of mind.

My life is my work. My work shows through my life.
