Some people don't like to be called certain or it makes them tell you off. Well for me, it's phrases. For example -
Just relax.
Calm down.
If you say those two phrases to me, I'm likely to tell you off, instead of relaxing and calming down. I have never quite figured out why, it's just something about those words.
I also know that if someone calls my bluff, then it's on for me to do whatever it is that they say I can't do. I take it on as a challenge.
These things were on my mind tonight, so I thought I would do a quickie journal entry.
