Get Past Hurt Feelings And Mean Blog Comments

Sometimes when someone writes something that hurts your feelings, well it is just so hard to get past it. Why should I care, it is only their opinion. When people have gone out of their way with politics to let me know their way of thinking is vastly superior, in the past I used to think it would be impossible to find any common ground with those people. I notice some people who vastly disagree on politics and religion can still be friendly with each other, but this did not come as easily for me. I actually do not regret that I am this way, but when someone says something that truly hurts my feelings, I just find it harder than others to get past it. Sometimes it is just an opinion on politics or something of the like, but often I see they express hurt when someone questions them, but what if their comments hurt you?

Seriously, who cares about the man personal attacks as comments? Wow, what a big guy to use the Internet to insult others. I have learned to get past caring, but it still hurts. I see others talk with ease with those who write things that are hurtful, but say they can find common ground with them in other areas. I am not saying I can never find common ground with someone, and I do not have to agree with someone a 100% of the time, but once someone is very adamant on presenting their superior way of being, well I just begin to block off possibilities of friendship. Of course I will continue to be a happy person and nice to people, but I will not go out of my way to be friendly with them. Hardly expect anyone to agree with much of what I say, but I am not really looking to find common ground with people that want to challenge me on a myriad of fronts.

After I received mean spitired comments, I felt well maybe I am not supposed to write about my opinions regarding politics and climate change, but why is that so? I am trying not to care about people that need to be so highly contentious with me, but I feel no need to be fast friends with them either. This is just the authentic me speaking: once you decide to broadcast something I find selfish and hurtful I just do not consider you a friend. Maybe I am rigid that way, but this is just me.
