I was asked this question this afternoon, "what happened to you?" in response to a declined request to participate in a course, ostensibly to strengthen my spiritual side.
Not being much of a sensitive person, I decided I'll brush it aside as a snide comment not worth a second thought. The fact that it still prevades belies that assumption. So, let's deal with it, and not just sweep it under the carpet as I tend to do things I'm uncomfortable with.
Firstly, I made a decision to back off considering my current situation - staying with mom and an unhappy wife in an uncomfortable house. That may not last, but until then, that's what it is. It's a delicate balancing act, and I'm not happy with the whole situation. Is this acceptable? No, and I don't expect anybody to accept it either, much less Mr KR here.
Secondly, true enough I need the reinforcement. No denying that. Has anyone come forward. Tbh, yes. But again, I had declined and the ball is on my foot. If I want to, once the situation improves I shall again do so. Would my new workplace be conducive? I hope to be more prepared this time round compared to before.
Thirdly, do I need to be slighted? No, because the challenge is the best way of getting things to move compared to the submissive, baik-baik nature of comments. Snide, explicit and brutal - that's the way. But also, don't just take la. Sometimes dish out.
