Why are insults a bottom of communication?




Everyone gets angry. Me, too. I am swearing, using bad words when I get angry. This is a chemical reaction that is stronger than mine, and I can’t help with this. If you ask me, are there results in this kind of communication, the answer is no. Well, if you ask me, will I do it again, I would say yes.
The reason insults are bottom of communication is simple. If someone pushes me to this level that I use insults, I just showed my weakness. It means I can’t control my reactions and words, and my provocateur is winning.
Recently someone offended me. I returned his favor, but this conflict is not over. It looks like an endless fight where is no winner. It is more painful because I believed in that person. I had trust in him; we shared our life stories. Now, our communication is based on insults. Who will handle more, or who has dirtier imagination? If this is a battlefield, bullets would fly around.
I always had a low opinion about men who insult me, especially if I were nice to them. If I reject the flirt offer, some will insult me. If I give them bits of advice about behavior, they will insult me. If I raise my voice and show attitude, they will do it again. There is no winner, just ruined trust, confidence, and bad manners.
Then I apologized for the acts I never did. Ok, let’s use nice words. I confused my rival. I changed my strategy. Now, what is going on? He stayed silent from shame.


The purpose of my apology was not humiliation. I will not kneel. I wish he will be ashamed of himself. If he has a piece of humanity, it will shake him. I showed my strength in this way.  I am enough mature to understand your frustration. I feel your insecurity and a lack of power. We need not speak never again but you will know you are weak.
If you can say so bad words to me, you are afraid of me. I am your strongest rival. Otherwise, you would ignore me and never fought. You gave me this importance so I will look at your insult like the reverse praise.
You reminded me how I look when I insult someone who made me angry. Now I am looking on the other side of the mirror and see my evil twin.

The book based on true events

  A paperback version is on Amazon.  Genre: Contemporary romance, young adult short novel Place of action: Croatia Alert : based on true story The blurb:   Valentina lives in a small town. The priorities for women are to get marry in twenties.  Fighting with prejudices, Valentina has an open relationship with a local hooligan. The love story will develop in a wrong direction. Valentina will learn important life lessons. The review: Clear, sharp, legible, written in Kristina's recognizable style. An interesting, powerful, instructive story - when an intelligent woman falls in love with a bad man. This is a real-life story that happens to many women. The story shows that intelligent women and common sense are not immune to falling in love with bad men and the thought that they can change them. A love story that is not really a romantic story. Love is one-sided. Love is stronger than reason, but until a moment when everything has changed. Purchase link:  Seduced by...

Swapping books - a devil's deal

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...

Five myths about promo sites

Recently I asked for a featured Bookbub deal for one of my books. I got response that my book should be free priced and my expense would be 230 dollars. This is really funny, because I could expect people grab my book for free and give me one star (as it happens when books are available for everyone). To pay such amount of money would be waste and without a purpose. I am mix of traditional and indie author. Having a publisher, but not bestseller books, I am looking for ways to increase my book sales. Promo sites like Bookbub are very expensive and they offer their deals for 25% books from authors who applied for this. I had an insight to author's books who grabbed Bookbub deals. It works will authors who are already selling a good amount of their books. In general, promo sites are not working for favor of indie authors. These are five myths about promo sites: Promo sites give many readers. It is not true, because you will get visibility and many trolls, but not readers. Promo sites...
