High School wow that was a long time ago, I have grown tremendously since then. Back in High School I was SO Tremendously shy around people I didn't know. A lot of people thought I was stuck-up haha Little ol me? Stuck up? NEVER! I think most of the shyness came from me always trying to please everyone. I wanted everyone to like me, so i was way too nice.
Even now, I always try to please everyone. I just want everyone to like me...BIG MISTAKE! You can''t please everyone, even if I try my hardest there's always that one person who will never be satisfied!

4. When you run across someone that you disagree with or who seems combative toward you, remember, YOU have the power. YOU choose how you respond. Don't let anyone take YOUR power.
5. Finally, if you do have a conflict whether here or IRL, put it in perspective. If it doesn't change how your husband feels about you, the way your children live their lives, or the way your friends who know and love you see you..... how important is it really? Think about it. If I have conflict that gets out of hand, I try to apply my friend Heather's 24 hour rule. I write a response, wait 24 hours, and if I still think it is important enough... I probably edit it a thousand times an then send....
