People who are doormats

I am a kind who will sometimes argue to the end and at other time just left an argument with a 'We have a different opinion on this and let's leave it as it is'. I like confrontation if I know it is done sportively and will not hurt each other afterward. Sometime, the doormat kind of people is learning something form you and will hit you back when the time is right. So be careful.

i agree that there is no point in agreeing with everything, well unless that you really do agree with all that they have said. However, if there are to be two sepearate things that contradict one another and yet the response from someone still is to agree with you then this either shows that there is very little intelligence with the person, or that they have not read the statement, or they have just not understood what has been said. We don't always have to agree neither do we have to argue our point of view, we just need to give honest feedback on all that is asked.

I indeed find yes-yes people very unattractive. There are several people who have always been suppressed and oppressed and have come to believe they just have to follow the crowd and need not stir anything. Most of these people are without a mind of their own and will do, as in the case of the Arizona shooter, what anyone commands.

Hi megamatt, by the way what kind of person are in that category?....I don't argue much but i don't say i don't contradict to all nonsense..he he i do if necessary

There are basically three sorts of people in this world: 1. People who agrees to everything that anybody says in a bid to please everybody as they do not want to offend anyone. These are the sort of people whom one could call a doormat. Unknown to them, in a bid to please everybody, they inevitably annoy everybody. Unless one is a government who just wants to boost one's ego by surrounding one with 'yes-man'. If not, it's just plain annoying. 2. People who argues for the sake of arguing. These are the sort of people who just loves to challenge the views of others and argues because they like it, not because they disagrees with what is being said. I'm like this with anyone who tries to preach religion with me. Even if I agree with that religion, so long as anyone tries to convert me to their religion, I will argue and challenge them just for the sake of annoying them. 3. People who are self-assured and have their own opinions. These are the people with lots of self confidence and nothing anybody else says will ever sway their beliefs, convictions and opinions. They are generally nice people who are easy to get along with and have no qualms with raising their objections or beg to differ from you when faced with opinions and views that they disagree with. All in all, I would love to hang out with people in group 3 as the prospects of facing 'yes-man' all the time or having my opinions challenged all the times are just equally bad and frustrating. I love a healthy challenge and debate of my opinions but not to the extent of quarreling with people all the time, or feeling as if people are just patronizing me by agreeing with me all the time either. The only way to get rid of these people is essentially to just tell them off. And if that does not work because they are thick headed, we can just ignore them and in time, they will come to the realisation that they are either offending us and change or back off. Well, I can tell that you are an intelligent person who would most probably belong to the third category of people. Keep up your own opinions and one day, you will reap the rewards of it. Take care and happy mylotting!!

I agree! It is very annoying when someone agrees with everything you say to keep peace, rather than share their insights. We learn from rational discussions. I say rational, because the other side of the coin is someone who will argue with everything and they will not, can not be rational about everything they talk about.
