Nice, not cliche, not wrong, but just a taaaaad too many big words to be a quick quote.
=============
Expect the unexpected, not always, but there are the right times to expect the unexpected. Don't be waiting, ready to jump at the drop of a hat. Don't get jumpy, hear me?
Okay, calm down, it's not scary, she's bi. Have you heard of racism, well it extends across several boundaries, practice tolerance. If it scares you that bad, stop. Call her out on being bi, and tell her you don't like it... see if she can change your mind.
The unexpected are things, that are just outside of normal, just outisde of being extreme. Sometimes you think things extend social boundaries, but there really are none. Social class, tribal societies, muslim, christian, russian, american, canadian, are all control groups, with members who do not get the whole picture. So of course people are going to let out little gasps for help. You've got to stop letting it all affect you, if you haven't experienced it before, why get bothered by it, you should in fact be enjoying your new found experience, because it's not everyday somebody gives you a gift that is unique to your mind.
So next time something unexpected comes up, don't pretend to not notice it. That will only confirm THEIR thinking, blow their minds, tell them you noticed.
So as always, do your own thing, be the prize. Don't go off on tangential thinking and wonder about every aspect of the problem, what happens if something you weren't prepared for happens, and just a step to the side, and than standing your ground would have solved the problem. I know I'm going too in depth here, but that is my goal, and I don't like to conform without a fight. So next time something unexpected happens, what are you going to do? What kind of thoughts are going to go through your head? If it scares you, why run? Just stop worrying, and check to see if it is damaging or not, if it is controllable, than control it, if you lack the knowledge, they obvously have something to help you out... try to get it out of them, just don't give up so easily.
my 34 cents there, I know there is more, and so do you... since I expected the unexpected, I gave you a little more to look at, just my way of standing my ground.
