I'm guilty of that. I'm too tired to get into why, though.

I won't list mine. the list is long or short, depending on the day and my mood.

RP, just a note to say if I ever don't reply to you, it's probably because I did it in my head....and not out loud...or typed it out..

&....

i forgot...

&/or.........i forgot.

You often leave me laughing.

My Virgo, on the cusp of Libra Moon, tries to be good about that kind of thing, but sometimes i miss a thread or post, or two...

I think you are a great person btw....and so intelligent, in heart and mind....

and that's a rarity.

and so, i will leave you with a ((((HUG))))

I guess for me it's spammers/scammers. Whenever I'm bothered with them I can't help but be annoyed by all the stupid & gullible people (and even obsessed, like those insane people who KNOW not to open files sent to them claiming they won a prize or whatever but just can't help themselves) who make it worth trying to net me while fishing for the morons but of course most of my ire goes to the actual spammer/scammer.

I do everything I can to ignore and delete them. I screen my calls.

A few months ago one scammer took to calling my phone at all hours (like once every couple of hours) so that I had to unplug it so we could get some sleep. I wrote down the number it was from and googled it to find that while it was the number of a legite Microsoft company in Washington it was an Indian scammer (via Caller ID spoofing) who could only barely speak English and apparently trying to trick people into giving him access to their computers so he could steal their credit card info. At first I told him I knew what he was and to take me off his list of suckers but he wouldn't, and I was scared of the kids following his instructions for him (though I did warn them not to), so instead I answered it and said, "Ok, the computer is upstairs, I'll go boot it up, can you wait?" And as he did so I just put the phone down and left him to rot (I also told the kids to do this). That kept him from scamming anyone else while he waited as well as annoy the hell out of him as he did me. And after having done that a few times he finally stopped calling me.

I also hate very aggressive pop ups advertising for services. Do these ever work? I know I write them down and boycott any such products or services when it becomes necessary for me to use specific keyboard commands or even reboot to get rid of a pop up.

Oh yes, to a lesser extent, it's those who send me glurge. If it's once in a blue moon I'll tolerate it but when done more often I'll tell them to stop, and if they don't then I block them, no matter how much I like them.

RP, you don't realize it yet, but you are already ten steps ahead of the game.

I've a feeling your 20's ...& 30's are going to be the best years of your life.

Keep being you. Those clowns will soon be a distant memory.

My point exactly.

You rock, baby-doll. You might not be fully aware of it yet though.

I think it is probably a normal thing that many others deal with. Don't stress yourself too much over it.

But i am also interested in what others might have to say.

As cheesy as it is/sounds.......try to remember not to sweat the small stuff. What seems like a big deal today, will eventually not be.

& if you can laugh at yourself and whatever is going on in the current moment, that helps too.

anyway........final answer:

laughter

find humor.

that's it.

& I know you can do it.

My pet peeve...is when I'm drawing or listening to music or writing, and someone keeps trying to engage me. Once I pick up that pen or put in my head phones...I like to be left alone.

Oh, and aquaguy? Facebook is just fine for me...perhaps your computer glitches or something? Everyone responds to my messages, ahahaha.

I'm the same way, especially when painting.. it's my alone time, quality time with myself.

I politely tell them that I'm busy and expect them to respect that. They usually do.

Shoes!!

Uhm I don't like it when people force me to drink alcohol, smoke pot or cigarettes.
I'm not against those things at all, to each their own. I respect people's choice to do so and I like them to respect mine. I always tell people before hand that I cannot touch any alcohol due to health reasons. And inhaling stuff leaves me cold. If after this they still force me to it's a reason to not talk to them ever again.

Maybe it's my Virgo Mars speaking but I don't like it if people put their fingers in saucy/watery substances to feel the temperature. What's wrong with a spoon. We were at a dinner and the host dipped his pinky finger with long dirty nail in the sauce and kept it there for at least a minute while talking to us while heating up the sauce.
Very funny to see, it was tasty too, just not very hygienic.

Yes very much agree! I really think you are not surrounded by the right people, people that respect you and give you the love you deserve, it will get better.
Don't remember where but I read that Libras height is usually after the age of 30-35 when we find our balance.
