First: I have been trying to be a little more true to myself lately... or have said that's my goal. I don't like putting on a false front because I am trying not to offend, I don't want someone to think something bad about me, or because I want someone to (ugh, this sounds so stupid saying this, but) like me. It turns out this is a double edged sword, even if you are a tactful person, which I consider myself to be. I think people like to be offended and will sometimes find an excuse to be. I don't know.
Anyway, I think that truth has the most honor to it. I want to be more comfortable in my skin. I am who I am, and largely, I like who I am, so I might as well stop wasting time worrying about how I come across to others. Oh, so much easier said than done.
Second: Is there anything that makes you feel like more of a waste of time than someone answering their cell phone mid conversation with you without so much as an, "Oh, excuse me. I need to take this"? Then that's where the conversation ends. No attempt to go back to it. Just an, "Okay. See ya." Yeah. Made me feel like a useless pile. Maybe I'd already said something offensive from my quest to be more me and this was the repercussion. Great. :)
