As per title... (Just like to learn tips on how you/everyone deals/manages with day to day)

- (Working in Office Environment) People with strong deodorant, cologne, powdered body, oils, etc...

- Smokers? Beside you while you eat, etc.

- Mobile Devices? Loud (Max Volume) playback (i.e. games, videos, whatsapp, recordings) without considering for others

- Loud Voices, I understand this is difficult to manage... as it is up to individual

- Common Senses? Spending/Conserving what is necessary..., (i.e. self-care, dont smoke if it is hurting you kind of thing, dont bet if you dont have enough cash on hand, etc...)

@mikenai22 Hi there my friend! It's hard to deal with people who have a selfish mindset. I have many people like that in my life and even in my family and there are certain ways in which I deal with it, the main one being to walk away when they start acting the way they do but I realize this is not always possible- So another thing I like to do is let what they say/do bounce right off me. Instead of letting them have any kind of impact on my feeling or emotions, I just let it bounce off without having any judgement about it. I hope you are safe and well today and thank you for reaching out to us!

Hello lavender, thanks for sharing. - Though this was a year plus back post. I appreciate you responding.

Sad to say, actually the "people" i am referring to is my father.

I know it sounds ill-intent and not a nice thing to comment on. Unfortunately my mind is so hurt and filled with hatred.

Over time, I learnt stuffs but never been able to control nor manange yet. Most of the times, I can only "run away" from the fact and bear with the pains. But i could never find a resolution to it. I've tried different stuffs but never once succeded.

It sucks and yea, of recent events, things only just deteoriated.

Thank you again for the well wishes, You too take care (along with your closed onces - well, conflicting words from me but yea.) and stay safe lavender.
