Thanks! You are right! Some battles aren't worth fighting. Just like you - I have learned to walk away from it as well. It's not our loss - - it's theirs. That's how I look at it. :) Hi Tony. Thanks! You are right! Some battles aren’t worth fighting. Just like you – I have learned to walk away from it as well. It’s not our loss – - it’s theirs. That’s how I look at it.

I have often found that it's always the other person who has had the power to include or exclude me from their social circle, and all because they've decided what they want to make of me in their eyes. Not only is it frustrating, but it also robs me of any chance of a "hearing" so that the "jury" might not find me guilty of whatever that person (or "prosecutor") has decided that I am. A bit of a convoluted way to put it I suppose, but that's how it's often made me feel. In the end, I've learned to just walk away. Some battles just aren't worth fighting I'm afraid.
