when I find something worth my time to state my opinion.I do.

if no reason to I wont,it keeps people assuming things,and when people assume its most always wrong.


So you purposely mislead people?

So I happen to be very opinionated, forthright and not afraid of conflict. When I strongly believe in something I defend it as is my right and duty to do so...why does that translate in other people as me being angry??
Does this happen to you? Do you think it happens more to women than men, since women generally are assumed to be passive and non-confrontational???
This place is starting to give me a complex....ohwell


Nothing personal, but I haven't noticed you until the construction signs came up about that complex you're building. Is there going to be a full basement and a spa? More importantly, and for a good defense, is there going to be a place where we can get guns and knives and stuff? If it's going to be a battle, we should be prepared. laugh

I assumed nothing, i asked you questions....DEFENSIVE much?

You said

"when I find something worth my time to state my opinion.I do.

if no reason to I wont,it keeps people assuming things,and when people assume its most always wrong. "

You stated that the reason you do it is to keep people assuming, so instead of coming right out and saying what you want to say, you allow them to assume things about you which you now claim to be false.

I'm asking for clairification...... I don't want to assume. I want to know what it is that you think.

Some people think that only their opinions count and if you do not like what they like or you do not think the way they think ,
they are upset and rude . Once they put an issue in a public forum , it is open for debate . There is no such thing as a person being always right on this planet !.drinker drinker .

Opinions are always right.... TO YOU. (you being whomever is reading this) It's when people get their facts wrong and then base an opinion from said facts that they are wrong.

Perhaps some people do but have you ever seen the OP behave that way? I have not.

uhhhh I don't think so .. but you do have a scowl and your arms are crossed (known defensive stance in body language) in this pic. that would be my guess?flowerforyou

the crossed arms make my tits look bigger, I was told it would make me more¨"feminine", what do you think?..does it work?



not really .. lol

I just think it gives that "I don't give a rat's ass what you think" look ... and that's what you are trying to avoid aren't you?

just sayin ... flowerforyou

As to being upfront and sharing what's on your mind .. you go girl!!!

I'm known for that, especially in the music industry where I work with a lot of artists of one genre.

They know if they want the straight up no BS skinny .. they call me:wink:

What's wrong with not giving a rat's ass what people think of you?

You can't live your life worrying about what other people think, because then you have given them control.

Her only question was, why do people think she is angry when she is not? Not caring about people's opinions means you are secure, not angry. Not everyone is willing to be a people pleaser just to be liked.

well, this has certainly been a very good read...there appears to be two options, either voiced or unvoiced opinions. When a woman voices her opinion, no matter how carefully she chooses her words there is always going to be the undertone of "b!tch". so she can choose to shut up and avoid the conflict..I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut, I can speak and feel its my right (and sometimes obligation) to express myself.
So, yes..I dont give a rats a$$ if I rub someone the wrong way just because I state my opinion...but that doesnt mean Im angry...flowerforyou

I don't think they are ever going to get that.

I can't tell you how many times some misogynist has called me "bitter" because I don't buy into his theories of female subservience.

Oh well.flowerforyou
