Wow...people are SO sensitive these days...what happened to people giving each other the benefit of the doubt, instead of just assuming someone is being nasty...
It drives me crazy to no end when someone makes a remark or says something and people just go all crazy thinking the person was being snotty, snobbish or mean...when in MOST cases, the person is trying to help, and their intention WAS not negative at all..
Not everyone is "out to get you" or "disrespect you" or talk down to you.. geez give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes..you MAY be surprised..you may even make a new friend..

when confronted by a foe, I've learned that if they think i'm crazy, they'll leave me alone.
I think its the communication style ...I sometimes do it on purpose though. But when someone purposely lies about me...I find very difficult to get it across that the person is lying no matter how hard I try...I just say nothing most of the time to save the energy and let them believe what they will.
one of my good friends is an aqua, and her subtle sarcasm is one of the things i appreciate most about her. admittedly, sometimes it makes me feel like a jackass because she makes fun of me and i don't even notice at the time. i get over it though 'cause i know she isn't being malicious. it prolly helps that i don't take stuff too seriously.
Well at first she wouldnt get it and got a little peeved but didnt really show it...then she started coming back with it. So I guess if I can dish it out I can handle it eh. But we dont do it in front of others...thats a no no and I think aquas dont like that WAY more than leos.
