Gyah! Why doesn't anyone shut up!!

Postby The One Mica » Sat Oct 13, 2007 4:01 am

Okay, yes, I know, I talk like a girl. I sound like one and my words are"girly" words, if that makes sense. But you know what I'm saying so why does it matter? Everyone says something, and most make fun of me for it. It really hurts, but why?? Why would someone want to put me down for it? I can't help it either, I've always been a ladies man. Always around girls, usually charming them with my sensitivity or my enchanting poetry. But every guy especially, and a few girls, always have to make comments on the way I talk. I can't really help it - because I hang out with girls. It's a lot like an accent. If you live in Britain so long and you come to America - you'll have a British accent.
So why do they do it and how can I make it so it doesn't effect me?

Peace,
Mike
I can carry the whole weight of the world on myself and not have a problem, but as soon as I add my own, it's impossible.

Never know what you'll learn today - maybe something new. Did you know [insert traumatic experience] happened? Well today you had that flashback! Gee whiz, isn't life just WONDERFUL? :D

Hi, Mica,
Well, you could watch some old John Wayne movies if you want to adopt a stereotypical male manner of speaking. :lol:
If you yourself think it is okay to let your feminine side hang out, then stop worrying what other people think.

Right, just be yourself.

Fithich flrithealach

a' cuartachadh 's a' cuartachadh
anns an adhar throm,
a' toirt tròcair is ìobairt gu coma

Hi there!

From my understanding belittling you in front of others, while you are also there, is a form of turning others against you (in other words, they try to make others not wanting you and thus putting you out of the way) and manipulating you at the same time (to control you, specifically to damage your self esteem so you will put yourself out of the way).

Very powerful indeed. The people that tried to belittle you are manipulative. They don't mean you well. Now you know and you can outsmart them.

Other good tricks of the trade are plain old deceit and the old time clasic sabotage. Of course there are many more, but those are quite common.

In such cases be assertive and then look for people that respect you (and at the same time you also respect them).

Those behaviours, to not affect you, I'd suggest you to build a healthy self esteem. You may want to focus on cultivating a stable and positive self image. Read about the 16 Personality factors and decide what traits are more like you and stick on them. You may also want to define your needs, wants, goals, interests, your attitudes, your beliefs and other qualities that you think they define you.

You will be fine.

They're just jealous because you can charm girls better than them. I was once planting trees and one week just the guys were left in the camp. The conversation deteriorated rapidly. They talked a little about cars, sports, fishing, but increasingly just in monosyllables and truncated sentences, stalling and being really square. I was laughing at them secretly (even though I'm a guy). So what you have is a fine gift.
