Anyone else feel this way?
If I don't "stop and chat",
if I don't keep in touch,
if I decline an invitation,
if I ignore a Facebook request,
if I'm not hospitable enough,
if I fail to notice or comment upon something about another person; their new child, an engagement, a life event,
If I don't talk in a pleasant, friendly manner,
if I don't keep the conversation "light",
if I disagree with someone,
if I give my true opinion,
if I don't keep the conversation flowing and there are awkward silences,
if I don't contribute and "pull my weight" in a conversation,
if I say something inappropriate or politically incorrect,
if I don't offer to help someone enough,
This list could go on forever. I think this is why I generally feel like it's better to avoid people altogether, because if I don't know anyone, I don't have anyone to offend.
Anyone have any thoughts or solutions to this type of thinking?
