Don't Explain

A while back I learned not to explain anything to anyone. For example, my mom would always yell at me about the littlest things and as a daughter, I am going to have something to say back to her. But what I realized was that, why should I have to explain anything to her? Why not just nod my head and then do whatever I want? It's the most smartest way to get rid of people that lecture you.

I get lectured and yelled at about everything all the time. People always try to tell me what to do or how I should live my life or what to be when I grow up. They are not interested in hearing what I have to say about it, they just want me to do it. For most of the time, I would always talk back and try to prove my point because most often times I disagree with what someone has to say. Logically, my brain triggers me to fight back and to explain myself so my opponent would understand. But in reality, nothing should be explained to anyone. People probably don't want to hear it nor will they believe it. So you might as well keep it to yourself and prove them wrong with success.

  1. Hi Ravila, great post! I relate to this a lot. For awhile now I have learned to do what you said, just be quiet and not add my two cents. Whenever I do get in an argument with my mom its like my opinion is always wrong and whatever I say is "talking back." So now whenever my mom, particularly yells at me I just agree then don't get in trouble.
    I agree with your post, its great. I think everyone should do what you said. This world would probably be more peaceful if people just let others rant and don't pick arguments.

  2. Hello Alex, thank you! I am so glad that we both share the same thoughts on this. I feel like we are always going to have people that are just going to annoy us with their lectures. But we just need to let it go and do whatever we want without wasting our time explaining. Yes, one day we will both rule the world! Hahaha ;)

  3. Ravii, I really enjoy reading your post. I could really relate to your post throughout my life people always try to argue with me about the things that they should not even be talking about. I believe some people have a trigger in their brain that makes them talk about other people’s business. I have also learned to nod and just say yes because that makes the person feel happy about themselves and they shut up. How I am able to do that is by going to the gym and taking it out on running something that will benefit me other than arguing back to that person. If you have not tried that I really recommended it.

    1. Muhadasa, thank you! I'm glad you think like I do. People can get under your skin at times and I think the best way to deal with them is ignore. Yes, I have tried going to the gym and let the workout get my stress off of things.
