Hi Everyone,
This blog is titled, “Little Girl,” and not, “A Little Girl,” because people, especially men, will call a woman, “Little Girl,” when they think women are stupid or when they (men) want us to believe they have the upper hand. BUT if you read the first sentence correctly, then you would have noticed the word people. Men are not the only ones who can address women like a, “Little Girl.” Women can and have done it to other women too.
So yes, the term, “Little Girl,” is RARELY endearing. In most instances, it is a down-right insult! The same is true when people chose to treat full grown women, who behave like full grown women, like a, “Little Girl.” This is what I mean.
For the last few days, I have been waiting for someone to get back to me about something. When I believed enough time had passed, I called them yesterday just to check on how things were going. Fortunately they answered the phone. Unfortunately the answer wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. In my opinion, the person was intentionally putting me off, thereby treating me like a, “Little Girl.” I HATE that!
While on the phone my mind began racing but my voice remained calm. After I hung-up though, a mental and emotional tangent took over. Not pretty! I knew if I didn’t stop both fast I would be lost in what I call, “a stupid little circle of nothingness.”
To me, “a stupid little circle of nothingness,” is repeatedly thinking of a conversation or situation thereby wasting my time on things that are either out of my control, OR things that are within my control if only I would get control of myself long enough to start taking control of whatever is going on. I did the latter.
About four minutes after I hung-up the telephone, I called my Ex at work and left him a message. Since I still barely, rarely call my Ex, especially at work, this was huge. I had a BIG problem. My mental and emotional tangent started again. Not good, and again, not pretty!
Less than 15 minutes after I left my Ex a message, I called him and left another one. The second was less coherent than the first, which was controlled anger. Knowing that there was little to nothing he could do to help me, I started helping myself.
Right after I hung-up from leaving the second message I sprang into action. I created a list of people I knew who could and would help me help myself why and how. Once that was done, I reviewed it and began prioritizing the people on my list. Then I started my phone calls and detailed notes. There was NO way I was going to allow anyone to treat me like a, “Little Girl,” let alone get away with it.
Several phone calls later, I checked the one place that they would never have expected me to. That was an interesting conversation. It always amazes me how people think that they can blatantly lie to me and think that I won’t know or find out. I mean, I am an information junkie! When people do that, they must think I am a, “Little Girl,” who will believe any and everything. I don’t appreciate people thinking that of me or anyone I care about.
After I gathered all the information I could, I decided to let this person think what they want. I am FULLY aware of what is going on, if they want to believe that I am not, that is up to them. I’ve done all that I can. But, if this isn’t resolved by Friday, I will take more action.
If anyone thinks you or someone you know is a, “Little Girl,” stop them in their tracks by taking action too! Do not allow your mind to get lost in, “a stupid little circle of nothingness.” If you do, you will be lead like a sheep to the slaughter.
Thank you for reading, A. Rebel’s Rant! ;D
