sometimes all you need to do is stop and think before you say anything and take the time to consider the consequences.

Do not be sarcastic before people have a chance to know you better.

Stop playing the victim and saying people insulted you when they don't agree with you.

Okay. I'll make a note of that but just so you know agreements are hard for me to keep so to make it easier for me, don't reply to my posts or I guess the agreement is off. Why not do the same with Sands too and other people who have "insulted" you? (That's a rhetorical question)

Spokane must explain where i played the victim, otherwise we must assume she is a troll.

Spokane_Girl has been on WP for quite awhile, we're all quite certain she isn't a troll.
Most of us are still trying to figure out if you are, though.
I thought that maybe, when you started this thread, you were looking for suggestions on not being so mean.. Why DID you start this thread?
It doesn't seem like you actually want to be less vexatious. If anything, it seems like you want to be more so. We're all trying very hard to understand why you're acting this way, but it just seems like you want to cause trouble.
If your life is hard, you can understand that other people's lives are hard too, can't you? Why do you want to make them harder?

You're playing victim by claiming that others are victimizing you by doing things that you are also doing to them. You complain that others don't agree with your every word, but you don't want to agree with anybody about anything. You pick fights, and then complain when others respond to anything you say, no matter how mild that response is. When someone asks how to be less vexatious, and then gets angry at the suggestions that are offered, that is DEFINITELY "playing a victim" (Was that what you meant, Spokane_Girl?)

Yes that is what I meant Maggiedoll except I meant he is saying he is being insulted when he isn't but I also notice the irony in him because he is the one who is doing insults, not us. I've done one back to him because he did one to me first. I've already made up my mind about him but I won't say it. But I agree with the rest you said about what he is doing.


I guess there is no agreement between us then Plotinus.

Vexatious- Causing irritation or annoyance.

Not sure what you've done to cause annoyance except demeaning other members in your post but I wouldn't call it vexatious per se just ummm...not nice. The only suggestion I could make is maybe refrain from this or continue further down into the wrath and fury of vexation.....

Find people who enjoy it. It is a matter of taking what you dish out. Everyone who matters to me accept me the way I am. My friends like my bluntness, brutal honesty, and other eccentricities. It took time for them to get used to me, but now they look out for me in public, so I don't offend the waitress or others. We have fun together.

Ask what they mean by it. If they are vague, ask for examples. Find someone you can trust to interpret this information: whether it's a socially unintelligent behavior that you can change or you're dealing with jerks. In other words, get a social intelligence coach, as I keep saying.
