I know that I colossally piss people off ... Regularly in fact. HA HA!

It's not intentional... And I'm also totally ok with it to some extent.

You see, if I were to piss off a FRIEND, they would have a conversation with me and explain that I hurt their feelings or inquire what I meant by whatever pissed them off... Affording me an opportunity to clarify, apologize or retract as necessary and what is also authentically true.

But if they aren't willing to have that conversation... Or we have the conversation and are unable to resolve the issue or at least agree to disagree... It simply means they are not part of my tribe.

No big deal!

They may not like my lifestyle, my attitude, my mannerisms, the way I dress, my belief systems ... Or a million other things that they could choose to like or dislike about me.

You know what... THAT'S OK!

Thank you for honoring and acknowledging your feelings!

I respectfully request that you not smile to my face, hug me, ask me questions as if you care, post comments on my FB etc... If you're simply talking trash about me behind my back.

I can guarantee that anything I would say about someone... I would say to their face (assuming they even give a flying flip what I think... ha ha) and probably already have.

It's never about being rude, mean and definitely not intended to be hurtful. Only intended to be authentic and real.

My tribe, my people, my friends, my family... feel the same way.
