Im a people watcher; always have been, always will be. Being a people watcher helps me to really understand what makes different types of people operate. The more exposure to people I have the, the better I’m able to see things that are really important to them under the surface. When you’re able to understand who someone really is and know what they hold dear, then you can both help them or hurt them. This is a good thing for the most part when it comes to building friendships or relationships but can also be a bit of a downfall when arguments spark. If I’m not carful, I can lash out and have been told on more than one occasion that I have a sharp tongue. More often than not, I’m able to keep myself in check when people get loud or annoying but I’m not proud to admit that it’s more of a conscious decision than a habit. Looking back on times where I’ve lost friends or pushed people away helps me to remember to keep my mouth shut and swallow down something that I would probably regret saying later. Im no pushover but some things are insignificant enough to let go and shrug off. Everyone has heard the little “sticks and stones” rhyme but that might not always be the case. Sometimes words do hurt and can do more damage than people think. Once I pass that point, I just bring on an uphill battle to try and make things right. Have you ever crossed that line? or Do you thinks words are just words?
