Some things that seem to be not under the bedspread of my being Mr. Nice Guy

I have a couple of things that really ticks me off - like some things that seem to be not under the bedspread of my being Mr. Nice Guy. One of those would be my utter repulse toward bodily odor. If you would ask me for a list, I would rate them this way: bodily odor and making me explain why I only answered yes or no.

Not much in my list really because other than that, I think I have a special talent to tolerate inconsequential situations, as I always say to myself, “No one can hurt you without your permission.” I try to translate most of my life experiences including those spurs of the moment into reason and being careful to choose my reactions. But it just that stinking so bad make me sneeze, geez and please quit the rants for insignificant issues.

When I do not really have the right to snap on people with disgusting smell, I tend to blame myself for not being able to stood up and say it. Nah, prolly never I can muster the guts to strike at them as my interpersonal skills seemed deprived me of that aspect where you can say it nicely “Hey, you just stink!” No matter how I try to find the words, I still feel a downright guilt to say this to stinking people. That is why I end up suffering. No wonder I hate myself sometimes for being so chicken to tell people to go and have a bath scrub. Please blame it to my allergies. I have this nasty disease where my nose is not just less cooperative but also become inflamed, I swear, I no longer know what causes my allergic rhinitis attacks.

Have you ever experienced people who make a big deal out of simple questions and when you thought they would stop asking when you gave them a categorical “yes or no,” you end up bombarded with follow-up questions. That annoys me big time. I usually do not confront insignificant issues on a head-on basis especially during verbal altercations. They don’t understand, I’d just rather admit it than put up a series of explanation, I don’t think this is right as well but I just feel I am not willing to spend my energy explaining things on trivial matters that do not even deserve further discussion.
