So many dishonest people...

[1grandmashope_1]

Today has gotten to me.  I want to say that it is disheartening, at best, when not only reading the boards, but trying to stay positive selling during so much going on and trying to make a bit of money each month then to realize the distress it causes when we are faced with dishonesty. 

I have had many "interesting" scenarios, but plowed forward trying to keep a good outlook. 

Not to go too into the ins and outs, but when a buyer clearly mixes up their emails and does not realize their mistake (or maybe they do), all the while trying to get $$ or free merchandise, I am just...I don't know...discouraged.

If I say that I am in tears, I am.  No therapy needed, thank you.  Just too much.  I started selling here in around 2006 or 2007 left for a bit and came back.  I don't think that it is any different, as far as people, but I do think that we all have more time to voice our concerns and complaints.  Combine that with the stress we are all under and it is no surprise.

Covid...Unemployment...Lockdowns....Snowstorms...Fires...Homeschooling..etc

I understand the venting....It is a place where we really don't know each other and are free to talk with some common issues.  I just want to say.  I feel each and everyone's angst.  I also know the hard work put into selling.  

Thank you for listening.  Just needed to say that I am feeling a bit less optimistic than usual.
