<p><span style="color: #534741; font-family: Arial; line-height: 18px;">It <strong>drives me nuts</strong> when I'm being unjustly insulted or owned but I <em>still</em>&nbsp; have to keep my ego limber so I can objectively fight for my dignity. But sometimes we might get good&nbsp;constructive&nbsp;criticism to make us better but we confuse it with hateration.

<p>I have had complete strangers (including co-workers) ask me the following personal questions that are NONE OF THEIR FUDGIN BUSINESS:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Is that a weave, wig or your real hair?</li>
<li>Who were you talking to on the phone?</li>
<li>You missed work cause you had a doctor appointment? what kind of doctor and what was the diagnosis?</li>
<li>Did you sleep with that new guy you're dating yet? How come you date outside your race? Your skin color is different what race are you exactly?</li>
<li>What did the boss say when you were in her office? How much was your raise?</li>
<li>Is it "that" time of the month for you? How much is your rent &amp; car payment?</li>
</ul>

<p>I refuse to believe in this day and age people don't know what is inappropriate to ask so I rather believe they just don't give a flark about violating my personal space!! Since they don't give a flark, why should I give a flark by answering them politely if I answer them at all?</p>

<p>It is my constitutional right to return a phone call, e-mail, im or text message whenever I feel like it BUT there are those who feel my constitutional right is to respond to them when they want me to respond to them.</p>
<p>I have a few friends (and you know who you are) who pester me when I don't respond to them immediately. &nbsp;They never consider that maybe I'm busy earning a living, maybe I'm ill, maybe I am trapped under something heavy and can't get to my phone or computer, or maybe......<strong>I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE TALKING TO THEM RIGHT NOW!!</strong></p>
<p>They take it sooooo personally. &nbsp;Sometimes I am just in a bad mood so rather than expose others to that, I just don't talk to people. It probably has nothing to do with the person.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Then again, there are those people (and they know who they are) that are so self absorbed with the drama in their life or so judgmental about whatever you say to them. &nbsp;That makes it REALLY hard to respond to them in a timely fashion. I don't wanna attend a pity party for some one else when I can be having my own pity party!</p>
<p><strong><em>Moral of the story: Before you pester some one about not responding to you, ask yourself if you perhaps make them uncomfortable with your conversation as that MIGHT be the reason they don't respond!!</em></strong></p>
