People who are always being contradicting

Post Reply New Topic

Okay so people are always telling me: "You have the right to be happy & do whatever makes you happy!" But then whenever something actually DOES make me happy, no matter what it is, people always try REALLY hard to talk me out of it, or they try to convince me to do something else instead. And then they wonder why I'm such a grouch. It's really frustrating and I don't know how to cope with this

Do what makes you happy, as long as you're not hurting anyone or yourself.

Screw the people who feel they need to have an opinion about everything.

Thank you, and yea, the things that make me happy don't hurt anyone or myself, but it's incredibly frustrating how people always treat it as if it's a federal crime.

What I really want to know is how do I get people off my back? They feel they can easily criticize me about anything because they look at me & see an easy target, and I don't know how to fight back without being rude.
