This was in response to the third friend’s statement that “I am sure I flunked the exam!”
I continued walking past them this morning with a smirk on my face.
I am very familiar with that type of person - you know the type…
I work with someone that epitomizes Debbie Downer. This past Monday she walked back to my desk and shared her negative self-talk with me. I listened, gave my usual "that's ridiculous to think like that - don't do that to yourself - you deserve better!" speech and then she was gone.Less than 15 minutes later, here she comes again - shoulders slumped forward, head down, apologizing for taking up my time earlier with her troubles – “I shouldn’t do that – I was bothering you!"
AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!
I always try to be compassionate – but at this point in the game – I have just about reached my limit’s top.
ready to pop

If you remember, I have a self-made lapel pin that says "Incorrigible - Do not incorrige". I think I should design a pin that says P.A.N.I.C. That would be your panic button. But you would have to explain the periods. Put All Negatives In Closet.
