I have never argued in my life because I never wanted to start anything. Not even with my parents. I am just really tired of criticism and insults from others just because they feel that I'm inadequate. And tired of people who feel that their philosophy of living is right so they feel that they have the perfect right to be critical (maybe because their religion told them that they have the right to - or whatever - it seems the "religious" are forefront with this behavior, imo). I feel that I'm certainly at a disadvantage because of my mood disorder, dissociative disorder which has kept me dysfunctional, non-productive, unable to work, etc. (over the last 25 yrs of so). I haven't been able to improve myself but now I feel that one thing I can do (and should do) is stand up for myself and tell others where they can put their words and their philosophies and point out their faults for a change. I have a landlord who is like the Gestapo and I am sick and tired of these type of people who make the distinction between who are the positives and negatives of society. (And this guy has the IQ of about 80.) They can shove it. I'm a free person and I'm entitled to live my life whether it's a poor life or not.

I would guess that most people on this board have trouble managing difficult people because everyone here are carrying more than their share of burden (no matter what they're struggling with) which is why I decided to pose the question.
