What's Behind A Smirk?

Hello Everyone! I hope you made it safely through your work week with as little stress as possible? Now you get to spend the weekend exactly as you wish with your friends and family. Hopefully, the weather is decent on your side of the globe today? I walked ten miles last night and some big miles on other nights of the week. This afternoon, I am meeting up with my friends to celebrate a birthday with lunch. Some other friends and family are going out tonight to break bread and socialize at a Brazilian restaurant. I look forward to watching everyone feast like crazy and tell funny stories. I get to connect with some guys (they're like brothers to me) that I worked with for years and have not seen in awhile. I look forward to meeting up with them! I just released my latest podcast Episode #28: The Pregnant Construction Chick!? this week. I shall share the link for the video on my Verbally Disastrous YouTube channel down below. Let me know in the comment section how do you handle conflict? Here is a question, that I believe came from a person who assumed that I would have chosen violence. It is possible that they genuinely didn't know how to handle a situation like that? I have to assume that this wasn't a troll question. What do you think the reason was for posing the question? Would you choose to ask the person why they were smirking? I personally like to avoid choosing violence unless my back is against the wall or my boys are in danger. Yes, they are big enough to handle themselves. Perhaps people think that those who live in New York City are always looking for a fight? I believe negative energy breeds more negative energy. It is just best to walk away from foolery or anyone trying to lure you into any form of angry exchanges. It is good to have these types of forums to kick the tires with other people on these types of questions. Here is the posed question and my response below. POSED QUESTION: "What do you do when someone smirks at you?" -Aayush Mahera MY RESPONSE: "You do nothing, it is time to walk away. Why feed into that behavior? If the person was trying to lure you, with their smirk, to bad behavior, then they won. They used your emotions to control you. Let that sink in. Responding to a smirk speaks more about you than them. I wish you much luck!" -Leslie M. Jasper Episode #28: The Pregnant Construction Chick!? is on the Verbally Disastrous YouTube channel https://youtu.be/_6ymCWAsLgY https://www.quora.com/What-do-you-do-when-someone-smirks-at-you/answer/Leslie-Jasper-3?prompt_topic_bio=1 Well, let me know your thoughts about this topic by dropping feedback or just show some support? I try to wake up and write first thing in the morning so here it is! I also write while laying on my sheet in the sand while catching some sun and enjoy the summer. I still can't believe that we are half way through the summer already. Make every day count and enjoy your free time with our loved ones. Therefore, have a fabulous Friday morning either solo or with friends and/or family. It is time to enjoy the weekend that is now here however you do when your family depends on you. Try to keep cool and safe this weekend people! Peace out, Cub Scout! CONSTRUCTION TALES- TOLD BY A WOMAN: (6) SHORT STORIES ON AMAZON!!
