Now you know where AH got his need for drama, threats, lies, words with no actual meaning...
Good for you for staying calm..
The only way to win is NOT TO PLAY.
The other day I was trying not to engage with something and I thought "I'll just be who I am, someone elegant, stylish, respectful, able to see reality, someone free and independent.." and well kind of brainwashed myself NOT to play...
I remembered I am not someone who likes to insult or to "compete" and that I don't need to convince anyone or demonstrate anything to anyone. These thoughts are very freeing. The fact others are insulting, competing, lying, or saying downright stupid stuff does not mean I have to become them.
I am Tc999 no longer a chameleon
these chameleons are a good reminder for me not to be codependent and not to steal their role!! they already do their "blending with the context" very well!! LOL
