Why is it okay for some to always have an attitude??
Please answer me this...why is it okay for some to always have an attitude or act in a very negative way all of the time? Have you ever seen someone act totally ridiculous just to hear someone else excuse it by saying, "that's just the way they are'"? Well, does that make it okay? Must the rest of us excuse such awful behavior or attitudes because that is what everyone else around these individuals have constantly allowed? It just really is baffling sometimes. The other part is when someone, who is consistently nice and trying to be positive, "goes there" with one of these excused negative acting individuals, they are looked at as though they have grown another head. I just have never understood the excusing negative behavior. I think maybe that sometimes those who act this way often have material access that people want to have or be near, but is being spoken to any kind of way worth a pair of shoes or anything else for that matter? I think that there may be a difference if you are in a working environment and your direct supervisor has this "deal with it" attitude, but even with that everyone has the right to demand respect and not to be spoken to in a demeaning way. What will it take for these individuals to change and if they don't (which most may not) what should be the appropriate way to really handle it?
Oh My Gosh! I just wrote this long thought intensive response, and my computer just shut me out. I'll try again tommorrow my sister. I'd like to share my thoughts, but technology now has ME with an attitude!
