Message: <blockquote data-quote="Afrodyte" data-source="post: 1071169" data-attributes="member: 8713">I know that for me, it sometimes takes longer to forgive because I sometimes feel as though I've been thrust into the position of having to defend myself or protect my integrity.  I won't go so far as to say the guys in my life are malicious, but sometimes they can make matters worse by minimizing the effect that something they did or said had on me.  Or, they try to second-guess my motives (since you can't trust a woman to really say what's on her mind <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />) and get them completely wrong.It's not like I walk around mad all the time.  However, once I do get to the point where I can't tolerate a certain thing anymore, I become extremely sensitive to any rebuff (real or imagined), and the unfortunate souls around me generally have to walk on eggshells to avoid upsetting me further.  I tend to retreat from human interaction in those moments so I can have sufficient time to cool down.  But, if I'm pressured to talk or say anything before I've had that time to myself, I can be quite nasty.Yet, I won't hesitate to say that there are some manipulative, mean-spirited, two-faced creatures that vaguely resemble the human female (and more male ones than many would anticipate) walking around, and I agree that they tend to be far more difficult to deal with because they have a supernatural ability to sap people's common sense.</blockquote>
