Can't be assed

[Thornless]

I think I get your drift... Nice has to be genuine in order to be respected. Folks intuitively know the difference.

More or less what I meant, but also the extreme. There's been teacher's who weren't nice & I absolutely hated/despised, but I respected the shit out of them because they were consistent, brutal, and fair. They weren't there to be nice or be my friend, they were there to teach me what they knew and what I needed.

I've also respected people in the work force who weren't necessarily nice, but earned my respect for getting the job done without bullshit or compromising the team or work quality.

I'm doing it all wrong then lol

Quite possibly. I'm a scorpio too, and find it difficult for people to accept me or seem like they respect me. Maybe they do and just don't like me though. :24:

Hahaha!

I think I am just over sensitive. I do have a temper and flare up sometimes, which is a problem. But it takes abit to do that.
But apart from that, I am pretty easy going

I'm like that, too, and it's gotten me into hot water on occasion. It takes some training of yourself, but, you have to learn to just sit back, take a few deep breaths and ask yourself if it's really worth popping off at someone. Usually, the answer is "no", now and then it's appropriate. Keep in mind that you may well burn bridges with someone if you do go off on them. You have to decide for yourself if you really want to do that right then.

Pick your battles.

BTW, Skorpy, you're good people.
