Aah, Ego!
My ego was badly bruised yesterday because someone rejected my proposal, so I was in a sulky mood until I fell asleep, lol! Ayayay! It's crazy how our pride works. It can be dangerous when not tamed carefully. It makes us feel sour when hurt.
I'm not particularly egotistical or prideful and can usually handle any form of rejection, but sometimes (just sometimes), when my hormones are all over the place, I become a little more sensitive. My default reaction would be silence and curling up in bed. I seem to have influenced the LilGuy 'coz he curls up and wouldn't want to see me eye to eye when he sulks, lol!
But I guess that is way better than spewing less-than-savory words that would cause me later regret. Just being quiet and letting my ego heal naturally by sleeping. And it worked 99% of the time (although it depends on the severity of the situation).
But yes, as expected, my disposition was better when I woke up in the morning. It helped that someone who brutally bruised my pride apologized, lol!
So, all is well, thankfully. I grinned scornfully at myself for reacting the way I did the previous night. And thinking about it, it's a sort of peaceful revolution with other benefits. I kept my sanity and self-respect without hurting anybody; hence, I have nothing to regret. All good!
Anyway, we are currently out of town attending uncle's wake and also that of a young distant cousin, who has gone too soon (35 years old), due to complications in the lungs. Like my uncle, his doctors did what they could (he was in intensive care for almost two months, attended Mom's wake before he was hospitalized), but nothing could be done when his time was up. A grim reminder that even in today's advancing technology, the cure for some diseases is still nowhere. Maybe this is a wake-up call to make us evaluate how we live our days (a note to self).

I did it too, the foam is where I will curl, and before I knew it, sleep will come. I think it helps so much, than saying negative words that might cause so much regret in our life, when we do not feel the rejection again, it's good to be silence and avoid saying things when we are not on a happy mood.
It's nice to hear you also choose to be silent when you are hurting or angry. It's probably the best way to deal with it at first, to avoid hurting others in return.
Yes, it is the best way.
Happy new week.
For me listening to calm songs helps calm me down. It's great the person got to apologize to you.
Rest in peace to your uncle and cousin may their souls rest in peace.
Music is a good medium to calm ourselves :)
Yes, receiving an apology from someone who intentionally ignored something was nice.
Thank you for your thoughts. We pray they are resting in peace now, and are no longer in pain.
Amen 🙏
Do have a blessed day ahead 🙏
Not only lil guy and you ... I also behave the same when I sulk.... But I'm happy that they realized and apologized.... And you also stay silent at night That's good behavior..... I can relate it too

Hehe, it seems going silent and sleeping is the best thing to do to avoid arguments
:)
Thank you, Lesly.
Yes when it comes to arguments, staying silent is the best thing to do
Cheers !LADY 😉
MabUTI nga na manahimik sis Pg ngtatampo Tayo or sumama loob. Mahirap Kasi magbitaw Ng salita na Hindi na natin kayang bawiin coz the damage has been done😬.
True sis. Hindi mabawi kapag may nabitawan na, kahit anong sorry pa ang gawin.

Ahhh
The old sleep ego recharge move...
A great peaceful resolution strategy 😂✨
Aha, sounds like you apply the same 😅
Oh yes 🙂↕️
Yeah that's a good way to handle it, I can imagine however that sometimes the glass is too filled and you can't just stay silent but explode...
Damn that's a lot of losses in a short time 😞
Yes, that's the danger too when keeping everything because there will always be a time when you can't keep it any longer, and boom!
It's really sad, but such is life... It's just tough when they happen one after another in so short a time, and the causes are the same.
So sorry for the death and may the family be console. Oh who must have done that to you let it not be what am thinking 😆 at least the sleep will help you get over it for the moment but if it is what am thinking I will say that you continue making your request until you succeed because man don't give up just like that 🤣😂
Thank you. The families are holding up.
Yes, the sleep and silence helped. Unfortunately, the request can't be repeated because it's time-limited. 😂
Complications in the lungs? That’s sad
I pray they both rest in peace
Thank you for your thoughts !LADY

So, sleep is the best way when mood is in it's prime I mean ego. I think when it's related to angerness it will cool down with time I mean while sleeping but it will not cool down it it's related to respect.

Yes, somehow it helps. And I think you're right. It is more difficult when it's about respect.

Come get MOONed!
Life is so short these days, death is like the norms now. I asked after someone I hadn't seen in two years;
"You didn't know? He's dead!"
Yes you are right, medical science still has a long way to go.
The days are fast and yes, too short for people to live.
It's crazy when this happens. You would wonder why, then you realize it's how life is.
