Only, she thinks she is the BEST person on the planet.<br /><br />People who always ALWAYS have to be right, even when they have to lie and manipulate to be right, are DEEPLY insecure. I avoid this type of person. Nothing good comes from this type of person. It is ok to RUN and stay far out of their reach.

They are so well written and this topic I can so relate to.<br /><br />I never had a problem letting people know I didn't want them in my life. I didn't want the poison they bring with them. My sister once asked me how it was so easy for me to "let go" of people, I wondered why it was so hard for her! <br /><br />People like you Maria@BubblegumandDuctTapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662116090938892495noreply@blogger.com
