Arguing with a fence post ..


I seem to attract difficult people who have little to do with me in all reality.  They always seem to be on the outskirts of my life.  The good news is I am learning that trying to talk rationally to some of them is like arguing with a fence post .. and as someone very close and wise recently pointed out to me .. why would I have a conversation without the right information since I'm going to be arguing with a fence post .. I feel kind of stupid arguing with a fence post.  LOL .. I'm going to bank that one for a while and think about it.  It totally applies to my life at the moment. 

 

Hugs S :)

Great share Serenity.....I can totally relate to 'arguing with a fence post'. I will share that with recovery, when I remember, I step away from 'those fights' as quickly as possible, knowing the outcome is an increase of insanity.
