Hello Gulchenrouz,
I think what I will do instead of using filthy language, I will gently suggest to my boss that I am not the right person to listen to her secrets about her marriage and that while I understand she is the greatest person in the entire world, and that I understand she is frustrated because not everyone is recognizing it...yet, that I worship God and only bow down before God. I know you will forgive me for not apologizing for trying to discuss a problem here because it should be okay for me to discuss a problem, and people who don't genuinely want to help can skip to the next person's thread. I don't believe I deserve to suffer abuse
because I want to be treated decently. I try to treat others decently and those I find too distressing I generally try to avoid,
rather than abusing them with filthy language, hateful looks, or getting others to hurt them. My question was about the people I cannot avoid, and who cause me extreme emotional distress that I did not ask for. I never said I was bored, but since you took the time to reply to me and since I find your sarcasm and veiled abusive language upsetting, I will explain to you and to everyone who will come after you that I cannot handle overbearing people; that I have no desire to stop them from being overbearing to anyone but ME; that I don't think I should have to give up my life to people who cannot see from the cues I give them (of course you cannot see me, so you cannot see what I mean here - but let me just say that I give cues that most people understand, just like I understood your veiled abusive language) that I am overwhelmed by their overbearing ways. I hope that explains what I meant more clearly.
