There are some things you just don't tell people. No matter how much you love them, think what your saying is complimentary, or want to sound genuine.
1. Don't tell someone "I liked the way your hair was yesterday better" which essentially means "I think you were prettier yesterday." If someone is pretty, it is a permeneant state. You can't be temporarily pretty.
2.Don't tell someone you are "fine" when there is obviously something wrong. Thats called a lie and I am very guilty of this. If you don't wanna talk about it, then just say that rather than lying to someone.
3. Don't tell someone "Though that was fun, I regret doing it." This translates into "That was fun but not fun enough for me to be proud of doing it." Don't make someone feel inferior by saying that to them. If you feel that way, keep it to yourself (unless it's something important like you regret marrying or something relatively life-changing).
4. Don't tell someone you want to hang out with them only to make no effort in planning something. Yeah, you sound genuine but that statement means nothing unless it's followed up.
5. Don't tell someone you will meet them only to not show up. Currently, I'm sitting in the gym of Cave Spring High school where I was told to be at 6:30 to set up for the Renaissance Faire. I was preparing an apology when running five minutes late. It's 7:15 and no one is here. No one has been here since 6:30, except me. And the humiliating cameras lining the walls......
There are some times that I wish I was completely irresponsible.
