Tolerance isn't easy to shake off.<br /><br />Sam - Mrs H used to come across Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) which sounds somewhat similar but more passive and associated with autism.<br /><br />Wiggia - yes becoming impossible if confronted is often the threat. A variation of "I'll thcream and thcream until I'm sick."<br /><br />Roger - it is useful and I've seen it happen.<br /><br />Demetrius - same here. <br /><br />Woodsy - I have that feeling of being hemmed in and hounded by rules and regulations too.

I didn't used to be, I was quite laid back and understanding, but a combination of modern life and increasingly thoughtless behaviour around me has pushed me into being difficult. I now have a feeling of being hemmed in and hounded by rules and regulation, while an army of officiousness and bureaucracy has been created with the awowed intent to discover some trivial and irrelevant, usually accidental, minor breach of their regulations in order to fine or bully me. Companies that used to provide a service, like utilities, insurance and finance, are increasinglt out to scam and mislead me to increase their company profit.<br />So I try not to be difficult with friends and neighbours, I try and get along with most people, but I no longer sit back and take any crap, and I can be very difficult indeed on some occassions.Woodsy42https://www.blogger.com/profile/12355671210161625647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-29347147409761865242016-02-24T11:52:32.885+00:002016-02-24T11:52:32.885+00:00I'm not difficult, I just feel that I am entit...I'm not difficult, I just feel that I am entitled to my opinions regardless of other things.Demetriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198549581667363991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-79057070140849128332016-02-24T08:32:52.877+00:002016-02-24T08:32:52.877+00:00A bit like 2 year olds - but with no naughty step....A bit like 2 year olds - but with no naughty step.

Or are they congenitally difficult, either blissfully unaware (presumably because they are too thick to see that alternatives would work better) or gaining some psychological benefit from it? I think there are probably sub-categories within a main species. <br /><br />Check out "O.D.D." - "Oppositional Defiance Disorder". Before I retired I had to deal with teenagers so labelled. The most depressing thing was the fact that adults had bought into the whole spurious psychological game, and played along with it.
