Just Ask Elizabeth: People That Don't Listen

Dear Elizabeth,

I know some people who simply will not listen to my words or to my views on anything. They are so stuck in their own words and thoughts and sometimes even call me stupid. I have just said “enough” and have walked away from them. Your thoughts?

Signed,
Fed Up in Frederick

Dear Fed Up in Frederick, 

We all know people like this. No words will ever change their thinking no matter how hard you try. I too have simply walked away and removed these people from my life. As hard as this is, it has been better for my well being and overall health. Life is simply too short to tolerate the nastiness and meanness of others. I have for once put myself first and so should you. You will feel so much better and have peace in your life.
