I just got into an argument with my Baby Brother over text messages because he wouldn’t talk to me on the phone like a civilized person. I don’t know what honestly made me more angry, that I had to have an argument with him over his opinion of me and what I do for a living or that I had to have it over text messages…
I won’t go into details, that is no one’s business but his and mine, but lets just say I haven’t felt my blood pressure rise that much in…well, a very long time! It was kind of scary to feel my heart pounding in my head like that, and it took me a while to calm back down again. However, I did calm down, and I do still stand by what I said to him, so I guess I did a pretty good job of keeping my head even when it was pounding like that! 🙂
I wish people would figure out how to have civilized conversations rather than heated arguments-even if they are over text messages! I am guilty of it to, but its rather annoying to have to go through all of that and then re-evaluate what you said to make sure you didn’t say anything in the heat of the moment that you regret. This is something that is super hard to work on too because it takes TWO people to work on it. I guess technically I could have been calm the whole time and he never would have known, but how would my calm have helped him stay calm if he couldn’t even hear me? I’m not sure, but I think this is something I want to work on….
