    Get over it

    Has anyone gotten frustrated with you and suggested that you just "get over it".  What was eating at you, who told you to get over it, and how DID you get over it!

    It is rare for me to hear, "Get Over It", I usually have all my ducks in a row before I start bitching.............

    What i hate worse is the phrase "if i were you"... it's implieing that i have to be them..

    That phrase is not something that I would normally use. If I'm listening to the same BS whenever a certain person approaches me, I take a different approach. My response to them is " shut the F*** up" I'm  tired of hearing this nonsense. It stops and the earache is gone. Works for me.

    ed...Is that the same idea as what I said only a little more...uh...to the point? :)

    No, because when I need to "get over it" I will only talk about it once, with one person.  I think these words sometimes apply when a person is living in the past and the conversation keeps coming back to the same topic, over and over again. How to get over it, is different for each person but, in general, I would say, try something new.  If that doesn't work, then get counselling but don't burden your friends/relatives. They have enough problems of their own, which you may not know anything about.

    I hate that exspression never would use it

    That seems to be how "everyone" feels. I knew this was a good bunch of souls. :D

    Bob/PHB yes I totally agree with you we are good bunch of souls oxoxo

    Doolittle has been stuck in the mourning & angry phases.  It has become clear to me that every situation is felt differently by people and sometimes being "stuck" is necessary for growth.

    YES :(.....but I have found I get over things more rapidly now :)
    Bob/PKB

    Bob/PKB has been stuck in those same places, but is aware of it, know it will pass. It gets easier with the passage of time, though it remains a tender spot.
    I don't tell people to "get over it" too often and I've not heard that phrase directed at me. It would NOT be well-received.

    Bob- look at you...referring to yourself in the third person just like Doolittle does.

    Gorillas usually just tackle their talkative comrad who's stuck , then they tickle until the one who's stuck is laughing and laying again.  But They also cry, moan, and sulk. 


    Elephants mourn their losses....they will move on but if the bones of their dearly departed are found years later those who were around then will re-mourn the loss.  Elephants cry too.  They also try to comfort the ones who mourn.


    Birds, in general, are too busy protecting themselves from danger and eating to show outward mourning.

    I would never say get over it! Every one needs their time to  think the situation over.  However if the subject comes up in every conversation-advise was not taken the first time.

    Good answer. Sensible and compassionate.
