When I was drinking alcoholically I did things like this, I would fly off the handle at anything, and dwell and go over things, really take them personally. As I started to drink less I had to start learning how to cope with things and work at life. There's lots of words of wisdom about this in AA, and I also had my own counselling to deal with these things. Over time I learned the most important lesson, and i try to remind myself of this every day;

YOU ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD and the majority of people are just living their lives in their own little worlds, they've probably gotten over it and most things do work themselves out. Another thing I did was stop worrying about the things I couldn't change as per the Serenity Prayer which I love because it's so apt. I took charge of the things I could do and let the rest sort itself out.

Most important and hardest thing is being honest with yourself, and I mean really honest. I had to admit to myself that majority of my adult years, up until recently I rode rough trod over a lot of people:upset:, yet I thought I was hard done to!!!:shocked:

so true ukb. im sure if i told the person/people who pissed me off 20 years ago that it still chewed me up they would be gobsmacked. most likely wouldn't even remember it. its no wonder i have a busy head, full of chitter chatter... mostly of the negative kind.

ha ha, I thought it was an internationally recognised word.... meaning surprised / left speechless, as in being smacked in the gob (gob being mouth).
in fact im gobsmacked that you didn't know the word
