most people you can only push them so far.how far can you go before you say you have had enough.you have tried to be nice and you have kept your moouth closed and you have watched and things don,t seem to get better.there is a time when you say enough is enough.can,t take it anymore.do you tell the person are speak your mind are do you hold it all inside.you heard the saying something is better left unsaid.

I really don't agree with that saying that somethings are better left unsaid... if that person means a lot to you. I used to let people walk all over me... I finally said enough when I was about to disappear from the face of this planet, yup that's how far I went. Now i know more of what I want, I think I may give 3 chances if one is good enough but once I'm walked over the first time, that maybe enough for me now.

i don,t give any chances it,s all about respect you treat other the way you want to be treated.there is never a excuse to talk bad be a backbiter gossiping about others hurting someone elses feeling.some people are mean.

I'm the oldest of four kids...I don't hold anything inside and I speak my mind. Depending on the situation I will either do it civilly with the goal of resolving whatever the problem is...or I'll rip someone's head off and hand it to them.

well, it depends on the situation, the topic which they are discussing and the person who it is.
usually, if they are strangers or just acquaintances....and not my good friends....i never let someone go any far,.....i just stop them in the middle....and this is what many people find "unfriendly" about me,.....but i think i know the limits.
but if it is my friends, or someone close to me, they can talk their mind out.....i am good at analyzing situations, and i am sure if they are behaving that way, there must be something wrong......i give them their space...
well, what do you do?
have a nice day..

what if hoding your tongue don,t work it,s just something that has to be said and what you have to say may seem like no one is listening but at least you have had the satisfaction of relieving yourself of this stress.remember if two people are talking at the same time someone is not listening.

Hi,
I beleive the earlier you say "Enough" the better, why let someone get on your nerves when its not necessary? I can't let people ride on me, if I dont like something I say it, cuz if you wait they'll "take their time", believe me, you gotta let people know what their limits with you are right from the beginnig. So I never watch nicely and never shut my mouth. People know me and they dont test my limits, they know what follows. I can be a very nice person, as long as one respects me, but when they offend me in any way, they can forget about how nice I can be, and should assume that I'd turn other way round. Respect yourself and people will respect you.

HI annjilena! When I need to say something to someone I say it!
I have trouble holding things in! Especially if I am angry
I need to get my feelings out! Like now I am angry at one of
my so called friends. We are going to have it out because I
don't feel that we really are friends anymore. Everyone is
more important to her and we barely even talk on the phone
anymore and we never see each other at all. To me there is no
friendship and I want to get it out so that we can discuss it
and either fix it or end it! But, one way or the other I want
to know!

well most people do need to let their feeling out.and you do feel better when it,s all out int the open.i agreed you need to know if you did anything wrong are why she hasn,t been calling.people are strange i have found this out over the years they will stop talking to you for any little thing.but we are going to think positive that maybe she been a little busy with family.

Depends on the situation and who it is towards. Most the times I will keep my mouth shut until I am pushed extremely too far. Which is a lot for me. Usually the way I act towards the person they usually get the clue, but some times, not too often I get pushed and then I let it all out at one time. Which isn't always a good thing. It is better to let things out a little at a time. Which I have learned that and I try to do that more often.
