Stage 1, Day 23:
Got into an argument with someone close to me today. Reason is they asked me to do something small for them and quite frankly I didn’t want to. They got upset and began to express that me saying no bothered them. Here’s where I called them out on their BS because I often have done many small things for this person without them asking as well as big ones. I felt they were being ungrateful. What I noticed during the altercation is that instead of just ignoring what the person said after stating what I had to state and closing myself off, I actually pointed out flaws in their logic in a calm manner and wasn’t the least bit afraid of taking the confrontation to wherever it needed to go. My heart rate wasn’t even as fast as it usually is when I get into conflict with someone. I simply stood my ground and made the other person understand where I was coming from.
The conversation ended with the other person feeling hurt because they felt as if no matter what I asked them for, they’d never say no because of how close we are. I let them know that while their principles were solid, in the situational context, they were being childish. Ultimately through the maturity and wisdom enhancement programming of AM6, I was able to steer the conversation into one where we were finally able to come an agreement and let it all be water under the bridge. Then we went to the gun range to blow off steam lol. This is a good sign that I may not be too crude during stages 2 and 3 when dealing with people, while still playing a leadership role and bringing things to where they need to be at the moment between myself and another person.

I laughed at the duck part.
at least I’d never have to worry about being lonely. I’d be the sexiest duck whisperer alive.
