I refuse to eat at restaurants with my Dad anymore because he takes too long to finish his food, and I hate having to sit there and wait for him to finish. Aside from stuff like that, I am very bitter, as a consequence of my life experiences
I said somewhere recently here that I value honesty. For anyone wondering, THIS is the sort of thing I value.

But then, yay, you have your reward. But if you don't collect such rewards, apparently, the heavenly father will reward you in secret. Not my belief, yours.
Quote:Despite this desire for power, I am incredibly sensitive, emotionally, and handle criticism and conflict very poorly.
Same here. I like to think it's the human condition. But then other people seem to handle criticism better than me and then I think, "maybe not the human condition" and I'm some kind of asshole.
