I just do it by showing love to that person. I have to put my ego aside and just let my spirit, which is filled with God's love, shine through. Some people will respond and these people will turn out to be the sweetest friends, sometimes. With some people, it is not worth it to try with because their hatred, denial and /or jealousy is too great. It is sweet when an enemy becomes a friend, though ------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy? Go For it. It is Free, of course. http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

I've had this happen before, although I didn't think of them as enemies, which made it easier. Now? I don't have the energy or the inclination to do that. I feel like they're telling me to jump, and I'm asking them, "How high?" Nope. I would love to be able to be genuinely sweet to them, but that's because it would mean that a) their attitudes aren't getting to me, which would also lead to b) them either having to let it go, or feeling the negative effects that they wanted *me* to feel, because they aren't having the desired effect. It hardly ever happens that I run across anyone like that now - so many people are just plain good people. Even those I no longer get along with, are at least good to others. IP: Logged |

I am in a new stage. I realized I can defend myself. Hence, I don't need to stand up and do it, unless someone won't lay off me.I feel I managed to get some important self defense tools Now, I can move from a defensive posture to a more loving one. I had a few people just attack me and I was very calm and nice but strong. This was my goal. PS Don't anyone test me, lest I prove I didn't do any of it ------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy? Go For it. It is Free, of course. http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

I was just thinking to myself, that I prefer it when I don't feel the need to respond to someone, and defend myself. There is a strength there, although it wavers depending on the person. You just reach a point where you realize there's no need to defend - I'm not always there, but it feels so good when I am. IP: Logged |

Yes, there is an inherent strength in that. Randall taught me this and I will be forever grateful for that lesson. IP: Logged |

I had no interest, ever, in anything other than a friendship. I value the friendship a great deal.
I have a great deal of respect for this person but it was never more. That is cool that you asked but I just wanted to clarify lol ------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy? Go For it. It is Free, of course. http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

There is definitely a *strength* in tnat. Agreed. I'm not talking about being bullied, that's different. But the ability to truly NOT give a sh*t is *exactly* what I strive for. With some people...it truly hurts their feelings the most when you IGNORE them - when they are basically irrelevant in your eyes! With other people, you just have to verbally rip them a new a**hole for them to "get it" and they'll back off of you and give you your respect in the end. You just have to know your audience.

Good for you. I still don't have the inclination, but I'm new to feeling like I actually have enemies. IP: Logged |

Same here, I'm generally so laid back and easy going that I feel like I don't have enemies per se...until they show me otherwise. IP: Logged |
