Are They Ignoring Me Or Do They Hate Me

Are they ignoring me or do they hate me? I ask my husband and he jumps on the band wagon. Is it you or is it me? We ask each other. Our imaginations take flight. Taking us to a new planet, Worst Scenario Land. We feed off the fears of each other. What did we do? What did you do? Knowing we must have done something. Knowing it was probably the other one. Living on the never-smart-idea planet of Worst Scenario Land We begin meanness toward each other. Blaming and snarling. A planet to never travel to, even for a brief visit.

My husband has always said if someone has a problem with you then it's their problem, don't let it become yours. I have since taken up this mantra and I have to say it's very freeing. If you know you are a good person then who cares what anyone else thinks.

Very good advice. I know many people who grab onto a crazy idea and do not let go. This was for them. Thank you for stopping by, Alunamda.

I am surprised this doesn’t have other comments. I believe I have spent time on the planet you have described. Fortunately I hitched a ride on a starship and have discovered other planets to explore. Hugs Rick.
