ceitfiannaI thought about doing this last night but honestly others' wrath came first.
Day One: Pride - Seven great things about yourself
Day Two: Envy - Seven things you lack and covet
Day Three: Wrath - Seven things that piss you off
Day Four: Sloth - Seven things you neglect to do
Day Five: Greed - Seven worldly material desires
Day Six: Gluttony - Seven guilty pleasures
Day Seven: Lust - Seven love secrets
1-Passive-Aggressiveness
This is something that makes me grind my teeth and want to yell at people. If you want something from me or I'm bothering you tell me. I'm a flexible person and willing to admit when I'm wrong but if you start off by acting as if you need to get my pity before you get my help, I'll be annoyed. I've had two exes who were passive-aggressive to a horrible extreme and so this is a sore spot for me, because this is a way that someone I cared about has manipulated me and my good nature.
2-The word Should
This ties into passive-aggressiveness for me but is a slightly different feeling, telling me what I should have done implies that I can read your mind and know what works. Tell me how you feel and what I can do next time so I don't hurt you. I know this isn't an easy one and sometimes should is appropriate but it can become so slimy and a way to put someone down that I hate it.
3-Not paying attention
If you're talking to me, I'm going to listen to you and pay attention. If I know that I can't then I'll give you a heads up, because what you're saying is important. I hate when people act like they're paying attention but when you try and interact with them, it becomes clear that they weren't doing more than just looking in your general direction.
4-Lying
Tell me what's going on, tell me if you're annoyed with me and I'll try and fix it. How I perceive what I'm doing isn't the same as how it comes off. If you twist and turn the truth to make me feel better I won't thank you. I had an ex who manipulated me a lot through not telling me what was exactly wrong and letting me have to guess and figure out how to please him. Tell me, I'll listen.
5-Judging me by a standard I don't know
I work hard at trying to do my best at thing and be a good friend and a person. I know I don't always succeed but I try. I hate when I'm being measured about against something that I don't know and so don't know how to reach. At the moment, this one is more pertinent to one of my classes but also holds true in relationships, I can't read anyone's mind and know all their expectations.
6-Cruelty for cruelty's sake
If something is hurting someone and you can help them by being quiet then do that. I'm sickened by people who find something that they know hurts another person and keep doing it. There is never a good excuse to treat anyone that way.
I can't actually think of a seventh one, but looking over all of these it comes down to be respectful and treat each other well and we'll do fine.
