Belladonna, you're never going to control how others react, respond, or reply. You can either make a big deal about every time you're unhappy with what happens, you can deal with it directly with that person, or you can accept that these things happen and move on, among a litany of other options. The continual diatribe of your past experience is understandable, but does grow to become a distraction. People are people, they're going to be rude, inconsiderate, irrational and cruel - and none of us can change that in others, only in ourselves. If it something you face, then it might be best to change the environment instead of being constantly upset by their responses.

No why should I! I say it like it is and if people don't like it they can go else where or keep their opinions to themselves.
There is a difference between being assertive and upset.
*shakes head* Nope, sorry - the world doesn't revolve around you. You can either learn to adapt, or continue to be unhappy, but you're not going to change others. From this perspective, you aren't being. Demanding and petulant would be a little more apt to be the words I would choose, since you seem to believe your public demands that people conform to your expectations and desires will be met. Instead of following your own advice and asking questions, you've launched on offensive diatribes. Take a moment and think about it.
