faux pas, anyone?

I don't think i am a confrontational nor argumentative person...from what i learnt from my last relationship..sometimes it's just better to just keep quiet and say nothing at all and let the matter pass. I guess the world would be a better place if all of us where mute. hahah...

There are all sorts of people in the world..and there are some who will always insist that they are right. ( btw, i still don't buy the idea that there are any absolutes in this world. I prefer my world to be in a shade of grey, thank you. Pure black and white is just to harsh and tiring for me.) My dad is one of those...whenever we have an argument, he will follow me throughout the house and nitpick at every single god-damned thing i say or have said...following which our argument will escalate into something much bigger and depart from the original issue in question. Which is pretty shitty since this just means that we argue continuously.

It should be a given that people say things that they don't mean at times. I understand that.. and so im generally quite forgiving when people commit a faux pas and ram their foot down their throats. Afterall, i know they dont mean what they just said because i know them.

Why nitpick? Nitpicking is so tiresome. I hate nitpicking...and generally rather tolerate an insult than go and correct every single wrong thing that has been said about me. This i learnt from my ex. He'd clam up at every "discussion"..and after a while, i just realised the pain in the ass was just really me.

Im in a new relationship now...i hope it's gonna better than the last.


Sometimes, i surprise even myself.
