If EVERYONE is taking a dump on you then the problem just might be YOU. Go beat yourself up.

that doesn't seem reasoned.

i agree, the problem seems to be you.

Well, perhaps if you live your life with a little bit of wisdom or foresight, you won't find yourself in these situations all the time. Just saying. Show me somebody who claims to always be a victim of other people and I'll show you a person who pretty much makes awful decisions all the time.

One other thing. Mindlessly lashing out doesn't make the situation better. Typically, it makes matter far worse.

it depends what one means by being shat on.

nobody owes us respect, or anything else for that matter. even still, people aren't usually disrespectful for no reason. perhaps it's your interactions with people that is the key.

I used to think similar to you, but i realised that I was to blame. i now think that if people are disrespectful then it's their issue not mine, and that i should learn more about how people interact. i think observing why most persons get along is key, for me anyhow.

I don't know much, but I know that the opportunity will present itself sooner or later. And I also know, that I will take it. No regrets, and NO hesitation.
Yup! That is how I feel also. I'll just lie in wait until the right time to strike.

That is messed up. LOL!!


Here's how I see it

If someone is taking a dump on me, he had better have a good reason or else I am dumping back.

Sometimes people "take a dump" on you just because they can. For instance, if you are a "nice guy" trying to get along with people and for some reason people keep messing with you and you keep turning the cheek, maybe it's the cheek turning that is attracting more attacks.

Sometimes you have to stand your ground.


Over the past year, I've had people try to accuse me of things that not only I didn't do, but I wouldn't do. Back then, I was nice to everyone and extremely forgiving and I smiled a lot. One day after 20+ false accusations and character insults, I stated my case (harshly) and not only did he shut up, but every other slanderer as well.

Nowadays I walk around with a mean look, and an even meaner kick.

It depends on what happened, some things I can brush off. But if anyone goes after a family member I am a bit protective.

Reminds me of my tennis doubles partner... or other High School friends...

Something happens, then I try to do something to "get them back" but nothing too harmful, but some people take your vengence and go insane and do worse things... so you have to watch who you return fire against... like my doubles partner....
