It's so hard not putting my two cents in lately. I was never one to offer up thoughts or opinions but lately I feel like that's all I'm doing. No one seems to mind but it still bothers me. I don't want people to think that I'm telling them how to live their lives.
Though if I'm honest, I'm probably doing it because no one ever asks me my opinion and I'm getting to the point where I'm tired of being quiet or it's simply just how a conversation is kept going. You can't ask someone how they're doing and then when they tell you a sad story just say, "Oh. Ok then." and yammer on about your life. That's just rude.
I never tell people what they should do exactly because that's something that annoys me when people try to do it to me. So I'm trying to find ways of sharing tips with people without it coming off as instructions. It's not an easy balance though.
Most people don't care I've realized. They just speak to hear themselves talk. It's amazing what people say to each other in every day conversation. I don't want to be THAT person.
It's hard to explain. Maybe one day I'll figure out the right words and revisit this topic but for now, I just wanted to get the thought out there.
(This is why I should never have stepped out of my hermit-like habits.)
