RE: Just blow it off

in Cross Culturelast month (edited)

I love the way people are sensitive enough to try and pick up on hints here. What I don’t like is how things that people take it all so seriously all of the time and constantly stress about how others interpret them.

Your rule is a good one. I always think about it like doing laps in a race. Every time you ponder something deeply is one lap around that issue. I can think one lap. Maybe two. But I’m not going to go around and around a thought and act like that’s gonna lead me somewhere.

Im good! I went to check your profile recently and didnt see any new posts. I forgot when that was. Glad you are still around.

Perhaps that's the subliminal learning from the culture. A habit to always go for some hidden meaning. For instance, once I silently smiled when my mother in law was speaking about something. After the gathering was over the wife of my husband's brother asked me in secrecy why I was smiling. My goodness.....! She thought it was a sarcastic smile over something she couldn't figure out.
Well, I was smiling just as a habit. I often smile to for no purpose. Just for the exercise of my facial muscles.

But I’m not going to go around and around a thought and act like that’s gonna lead me somewhere.

I agree. Going around and around on a thought leads nowhere but hives us dizziness.

Thanks for the visit @selfhelp4trolls. I haven’t published anything for several weeks. Trying to come back to the writing but the responsibilities in the offline world are not giving me enough time.

Have a nice day
