A wise man once told me: "If you continually find yourself in negative conflict with people, they probably aren't the problem, you are; it is probably a good idea to change the way you approach your social interactions & the way you communicate."

Something you are doing is causing these conflicts and maybe some self reflection could help you understand why. This is an opportunity for self-improvement.

PS - A farewell POST is just a cry for attention; not a farewell.
You don't want to leave, and I bet you're probably reading this right now.
JVN is a very wise man. I knew that before this post, but this post certainly reinforced that for me. The first point he made that I've quoted is definitely good food for thought for all of us reading this post. The second thing I've quoted is also a very good point. It made me think about myself, and I think this thread has brought up a good opportunity for self-reflection for all of us. Finally, after reading this thread about seven times, I'm going to agree with JVN on his PS note. I was thinking nearly the same thing, but he phrased it better than I could have.
