Do you fight ur own battles or do you need people 2 back you up ? I'm sorry, but for those who need people 2 back them are weak, it shows a lot of insecurities about themselves. I was always taught the biggest bully's are the one's are the most afraid, because they feel the need 2 intimidate someone , who appears 2 be less weaker. This is why when someone or someone's have a a problem with me, I try not 2 worry about it, unless they addrress it 2 me. In other words, I fight my own battles, I don't hide behind a curtain to do it either.

There's 2 things I"m good at,
Be straight up about a situation and pushing people buttons, don't let me get 2 pushing damn buttons around here.

I fight my own battles but my problem is I fight other peoples batles as well lol

so do I and you know I try to not to result in fighting, but some people really makes it difficult.

I fight my own battle when I can.
When I can't, I'm not ashamed to ask for help.
It's not about insecurites, it's about fighting the right way.

I'm sayin' though, why ask somebody 2 jump in something they don't have anything 2 do with ? Obviously if you get into a situation with someone, it was between you and that person, that's why i can't stand it when people get all wimpy, then want people 2 take their sides, that is so petty. That's why I'm like you know what, I'm in this sitaution, so I can deal with it myself, because it's not fair to ask someone 2 come in, who didn't have anything to do with it.

Yes, and I stand up for others...

yeah, but if you are teaming up on a person, then were is the fight on that? It's not fair, I think this is why alot of unesscary drama begins, y'all jumping into something, you don't have no ideal about, you only heard one side of the story, this is like highschool. You know when 2 kids fight, sometimes it's just best that parents don't get invovled and let the kids, work out the problem on their own, cuz eventually they will, but for most of the time, parents want to jump in, get all offended, make the situation worst then when it begin.

Sometimes you just gotta mind ur own business and let 2 people work things out on their own, or the issues will get bigger then what it really needs to. I would never ask anybody 2 help out my problems, especailly when I know I was the one who started the whole thing. Can somebody say childish ?

Who's teaming up on anybody. Hopefully when one gets involved they will listen to both sides... A mediator never hurts.

Besides this sounds to elementary for me.

Lisa is always stating the elementary/primary as something thats supposedly deep and profound etc

sag10 said:

exactly ^^

But u know, it's not like that in reality, especailly on the org and seen alot of drama going down here on the org, were the situation may have gotten out of a little bit 2 out of hand. I just wish we can get along

the sad thing is, many of the simple truths somehow go unlearned by many adults.

name-calling, bullies who only feel good about themselves by tearing down the happiness of others, mocking and degrading of people...

some people could really use another run through elementary school so they can get it out of their system and learn what they must have been asleep through.

I read this the other day:

Meet everybody and every circumstance on the battlefield of life with the courage of a hero and the smile of a conqueror.

part of it too, unfortuantely, is we live in a culture (at least in america, i can not speak of europe) where rudeness is encouraged and seen as funny. we are taught that you must strive to have more than everyone else, that you must be better than everyone else, and the way to do that is to beat them down, have more then they have, make them lower then you are.

it saddens me... kindness and compassion are dying arts.

cborgman said:

I disagree Mistress Anita... it surrounds us daily...

sag10 said:

mistress anita and i think that it can still be found, but one has to look a lot harder these days.

I fight my own, and any others my friends will let me. Most of the time they won't though... and when I get to on here the mods always ruin it

I try to fight my own battles, and in principle I agree that everyone should stick their own necks out in dealing with their own problems. On the other hand; circumstances may occur where someone, yourself or a close friends is already worn out due to any number of personal problems piling up to a level that they just can't handle any more strains. I see it as my duty to help when I see a friend in a situation like that.
As usual, both extremes are not really great; you can't be overdependant, but you shouldn't be so selfish that you leave others to their miserable situation.

Everyone has their limits in the amount of crap they can deal with.

I can handle any situation.

I so agree

Now that I am a man, I do fight my own battles. But a little help wouldn't hurt depending on the situation.
