What an interesting question.

Who would you like to talk to soon?

The problem is would they listen?

It’s all becomes pointless.

Talk is cheap. Everyone is talking but no one really listens. Each having their own set of problems and hurts, so why would they care about others?

Everyone is crying ‘What about me? That no one can be heard above the din as others become more selfish.

When you have gone around in circles for years, only to find no logical answer, to why so much negativity is aimed at you.

When you are such a positive person, who looks for the good in others, it’s a painful lesson when you realize that people are so blinded to their own negative attitudes, not realizing how hurtful they can be.

Yes, all humans are flawed, and you have to allow for human errors but when you have spent years allowing for that fact you question your behaviour.

What was it you did that upset others, or caused them to react so badly towards you?

This is a question, I constantly ask myself for days after the event. What could I have done better? How can I change my behaviour so it never happens again?

After fifty-five years of constantly blaming myself for other people’s negative attitudes towards me, it is time to speak up as say the problem isn’t with me but them.

I have always tried to be a thoughtful, kind person putting others’ feelings before my own and working hard to support others but now I realise the fault isn’t with me.

Are others too wrapped in their wants and needs to consider the feeling of others?

We are constantly told to talk to others about our feelings and what has upset us, but this is more difficult when the other party won’t take responsibility for their actions.

Laughter, love and happiness makes you feel positive

Actions always speak louder than words.

We all make mistakes, mishear things, or take things out of context but when the full facts are staring you in the face, be honest and say you are sorry for your actions and ask for forgiveness. Next time, remember to check yourself before saying harsh words or behaviour in a negative manner, if not, you may never have another chance to correct your mistakes.

Kindness isn’t selfish. Words hurt when spoken harshly.

Remember you don’t know what others have gone through in their past. They may be strong on the outside, stand tall, and put on a brave smile. Not everyone wants to be a victim of their circumstances or use them to gain favour from others. Many walk tall to escape their past.

So remember, talk is cheap if you are not listening.
