Are you trying to insult me?

Because I probably can't tell! 

I think I might be one of the most laid back people in the world, most of the time.  I usually just go about my business in my own merry little way.  I'm pretty confident in most of my abilities as a mom, wife and worker bee.  So, I'm not too insecure or defensive about most things.  Now, I don't think I'm conceited or anything, but just pretty sure of myself in the specific areas of my life where I've decided to excel.  I've got some work to do in many other areas, but for the most part comments that people make about my abilities in these areas roll off my back.  Heck, sometimes I can even laugh at them.

Among friends, I think I'm pretty laid back too.  (Okay, so some of you think I'm a bit anal when it comes to organizing, but I'm talking about social issues!).  I have a very diverse group of friends who have very diverse views about many different issues.  And even when I disagree with someone I don't get my panties in a bunch.  Everyone's entitled to their opinion, right?

Sometimes I wonder if I'm too much of a pushover.  Sometimes I'll tell my husband what someone said to me or that I thought someone was rude.  And he's always telling me that I should just stay away from those people.  But, I don't even think they know they're annoying me!  Because I usually just let it pass.  Sure, I might complain later, but rarely to their face.

Sometimes people think that they've insulted or upset me, but I don't even know it!  It really takes a blatant remark to ruffle my feathers.  And I'm pretty sure that I rarely read into things or get offended when people don't mean it.  I always think the best of people.  My husband says I'm too trusting.  But, I give the benefit of the doubt to begin with.

But, that being said, if you TRY to piss me off, come prepared.   Because I will stand up for myself.  If I know you're being rude or disrespectful to me, watch out, because I don't hold back.  Same goes for those that I'm loyal to.  I will not watch my friends, family or close co-workers get treated badly.  And I will defend with everything I have. 

So, if you think you've insulted me, I'm pretty sure you'd know it.  Before you even have a chance to ask, I'll have let you know!

Oh feisty. I'm a bit like you, but not so good at the letting people know when I'm really mad bit. I'll work on that.

Like you, it takes a LOT for me to actually get angry with someone. So when I finally do get angry, you'd better watch the hell out!
You don't scare me!

I think we could still go out and scare people together, though.

I'm much like you - laid-back and easygoing. VERY middle-of-the-road.
