Going through a bad spell

I'm really fed up and I need to rant.

Just lately whatever I do seems to be wrong. Regardless of what it is, I just get these irritating people picking faults in everything I've done, even if they have been with good intentions. A couple of weeks ago I snapped at someone on Twitter over something I misunderstood and then had to apologise for it. I took something someone else said on Facebook to heart, started worrying about it and then was put in my place by someone else. Again I had to apologise. I shared some design ideas about improving a website and was pretty much told that the design sucked, I shared my thoughts on search engine optimisation and everything I said was pretty much got ignored whilst they went along with what someone else, who by their own admission, knows nothing on the subject, said. 

I get angry and come up with all these drastic ideas in my head about how I can get back at all these people but so far I haven't carried any of them out until last night. I know this is not the right way to handle things and it's going to be yet another thing that I'll end up having to apologise for.

Apologising is all I seem to be doing these days.

  • I'm like this all the time, but if you misunderstand something then you have to apologise. As it's online on Twitter and Facebook then I think this might be more to do with typing and text, you can't really read the tone because it is not spoken so anything can be misinterpreted in text depending on how you read it.

    SEO, haha, I worked for a company doing SEO a few years ago, for a whole year they did exactly everything I told them to the letter and the site was booming, then they started all arguing among themselves and questioning everything I was doing, all thinking they knew better and before long all the tinkering from other peple meant the site dipped, then dipped again until it was almost back to square one, and guess who got the blame and ended up losing their job ?
