It’s hard being someone who says what they thinks – especially to their nearest and dearest!
A person who is straight up and honest is usually the first person to be cut down.
I gave some friendly dentist advice tonight and because it was new to me I was excited to share, however the person I gave the advice to said…. and your point is (and F*YK you Blah Blah Blah ?)
But I think we all have moments when we are bursting at the seams to say something but we don’t because we are worried it will offend someone.
I reckon, if you don’t want to say something, walk away and hope that the person in question hears it from someone else (cop out ) or will realise it by themselves.
But if you do make the decision to stand up and say what you think, then go at it with a vengeance and back it up (but only if you truly believe in the cause).
For example, in the past few years I’ve decided that I will only step up to a cause that I truly believe in.
And if someone has some great announcement then I’d rather here it in person than in a group, so I tend to shy away from group pow wows.
This is not to say that I don’t care, but from my POV I’d much rather speak one-on-one.
It’
Have I digressed?
Of course I bloody have, but that’s because I am busy with my own boring life that I tend to ignore others and wander off on a tangent.
This is not to say that I don’t care about my friends, because I do.
Anyway I’ve gone way off topic now so I’ll end with this.
If a tree falls in the woods and no one was there to see it, did it still make a noise?
Cos that’s how I roll, like a train wreck 🙂

LOL what was the dentist advice??? I’d rather just ignore/walk away from things, too most times. Depends how passionate I am about the situation/the person involved etc.

Yeah, and some people think they are right about everything and won’t hear what you’re saying, even though they’re listening.
So my dentist advice was not to wait until there is a problem to go, be proactive rather than reactive as it will save you $1000s in dentist’s bills. Eg I’ve got a filling that WILL eventually crack my molar, then will need root canal etc. But if I get it capped/crowned before there are any cracks then I am effectively saving pain in pocket, and mouth, down the track. I was just advising, or maybe it was more lecturing, that it was better to take steps to avoid dental problems 🙂 It seems like common sense to me.
