We All Do This, Put Our Foot In Our Mouths

We all say stuff that hurts others and embarrasses ourselves. I do it frequently when trying to make a point and I trip over my words. Making vocal mistakes is a very human thing. Communications is a vital part of life and we all have our moments when we say or write stupid things. It’s better to put your own foot in your mouth than someone elses.

Rambling About Being Social

I am a very social person in certain situations. Sometimes I feel people aren’t sure what to think about me. That happens when you are a black sheep of sorts. Being friendly means being willing to open your heart when there are risks involved.

Six Word Story

Always be friendly, never be creepy.

To me there is a fine line between being creepy and being friendly. Some relationships are best kept on the up and up, friendly, casual but never too personal that it crosses a boundary. I work hard to be the type of guy who is respectful and caring without diving into places I shouldn’t. When you reach a certain age you need to avoid treating people in a way that makes them uncomfortable. Just saying.
