When People Misunderstand You, Use Patience and Empathy

It's tempting to become irritated with people who don't understand you

I started writing this post when I was flat-out angry. I mean really, really angry. So angry that I completely forgot about the post I wrote a few weeks ago about losing your temper.

So, I put the post aside until I settled down a bit. I hope that makes for a better post; but, honestly, as I start writing again, the urge to strangle a certain someone is building again.

That certain someone is an individual who appears to lack even a shred of common sense. So, here's the deal: She shows up seven hours late to a party. I guess she didn't notice hardly anyone was still there. Apparently, she didn't notice the tables of well-picked-over food, either. Then, after annoyingly hanging around for another two hours, she didn't get the many, many hints that it was long past time to leave. As for me, I just got angrier with every passing minute, to which she also seemed oblivious.
