I make it a habit not to dwell too much on the negative side of people; because if I do, I know I'll end resenting them and that would be the end of an otherwise smooth relationship with them.
But sometimes I just can't help it. For 4 weeks, I've ignored the little things about this person that bothers me. How this person keeps on picking on and criticizing other people (obviously this person's not a great believer of "Take the log out of your own eyes first before you comment on the logs in other people's eyes"); this person notices every little thing about each person they meet, see or talk to (I sometimes console myself that he/she's just damn observant - but noticing how loud one pees in the toilet is a bit too much don't you think???)
It's hard to believe that someone could actually live with this type of person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. But obviously somebody can since this person's married and even has kids! Gad.
I don't wanna get started but heck this person really pushed my button today. I could rationalize that this person was feeling under the weather the past few days or that this person was just apprehensive about our upcoming visa interview but really I can't. It's too much. I'm not feeling tiptop myself and I am worried about that interview but not enough to go around irritating people about this and that.
I've stopped talking to this person in the hopes that he/she will get the drift and leave me alone...at least for today. So help me God, if he/she doesn't, I'll probably snap their neck in two. That's how hormonal I'm feeling today.
I just want to get over this mood I'm in right now because I know it won't help...I'll be spending 24/7 with this person for the next two months in a foreign country. So get over this I will.
My new mantra is: "Patience is virtue."
