I Am Not Here to Criticise Or Offend Anybody

Don't Throw Rocks In A Glasshouse!

By: MorningBreeze
Written on April 15th, 2012
I have friends who "think" they are helping me by giving corrective criticism.... not cool at times to do that. Sometimes just supporting words are needed... don't they know I kick my own butt enough without hearing their wisdom on me or what I "should" do.

It's like here.... why kick someone while they are down! Not my style, even if I feel they need a kick in the butt. ;) Be nice and gentle folks! You could be saving someones life!!!!

    abso-bloody-lutely! don't want to hear how someone thinks I should feel, just be supportive. be a friend. or if you need to say your piece, say it in a non-aggressive way.

      that's a fact! it's like when i'm a bit ...wired-up over something and someone tells me to calm down... i do believe i shoot laser beams from my eyes at that moment. .... my father always! told me to.."get a hold of myself"... so the rest of my life...till recently.. i kept myself... locked. this resulted in a caged soul afaird to show emotions. yup.... not no more!

      that's what is desired in the modern era.. that we all should be constantly CONTAINED. no passion, no fervor.

    my boyfriend is alot into corrective critism... most of the time he is right but the way he brings it around does annoy me alot sometimes lol.... when I try to explain how I feel about his critism he does not get the point at all... it passes 10 feet above is head lol...

    But it's almost his only downside so I accept it allong with the rest, nobody is perfect.. In time I am paying less attention to this...

    beside his habit of corecting others he is absolutely lovable,

    he does corrects other, but he acts almost impecable so what can I say....

      yup, or even just for someone to listen.. don't need a word said.. just knowing someone cared and told them that...they did, share it..nothing more is needed.

    Agreed.

    I rarely post my inner turmoil for that very reason. I am already my own worst enemy.
