The world is full of different people from gracious and accepting to smug, rude and sanctimonious. You cannot change them, so why not just accept them?
Frankly, I think the idea that people are “looking down their noses at you” is more in the eye of the beholder than the other person. Some people are just too sensitive and ready to be offended at the smallest perceived slight.
Offended people offend me.
Actually, no sir, that is not the case with me. Maybe it’s because of my experiences in law enforcement, dealing with those types. Maybe you haven’t dealt with the same people I have. Who knows?
But I do love when someone tells me that, I have to be the one that accepts them. I don’t have to accept anyone, anymore than they have to accept me.
