Why is it that some people can be so careless with their words, thinking that nothing they say matters; when others feel like people should hang on every syllable?
Some people will say whatever pops into their minds, no matter what the consequences, mainly because they never stop to think about the consequences. They also don’t always realize that somebody might be taking all of their spoken thoughts to heart. Sometimes things should stay in a person’s head. I, for one, am very glad that people can’t read each other’s minds. I would be really embarrassed if people could hear or see every thought that popped into my head, and I don’t think I want to know what everyone around me really things about me.
Then the other group of people, don’t seem to realize when what they have to say really doesn’t affect the other person at all, and is just a waste of time as far as the listener is concerned. Sometimes I think these people need to take a step back and realize that not everyone is going to care, and they should not automatically assume that people do care about what they have to say. Not everyone is going to have the same interests as these talkers, but these people just don’t seem to realize that not everyone wants to listen. Not everyone wants to waste their time with what the talker feels is important. Some people just want to know what they absolutely need to know and then move on with their lives.
It’s always amazing how two extremes exist every day side by side. I’m not sure how people don’t drive each other crazy every day. Or maybe they do and we just don’t hear about it.
