Everyone is entitled to their own opinion...but that doesn't mean it always has to be said. (Dear friends, please don't take this personally, it's not you.) I'm talking about facebook and pinterest comments. They are my two most viewed websites but at the moment I'm feeling yucky about one of them. I really do not like confrentation. I think if I took debate class I would end up having an anxiety attack on day one. So even though things I read have nothing to do with me it still upsets me. Some people have some very opinionated friends on pinterest. Just reading the comments some people put make me mad. I wouldn't comment things like that on my friends pins. I care about people's feelings. Probably too much at times but I don't know too many people that would say I hurt their feelings by something I said. Perhaps part of it is the artist in me, as well. In art everyone has their own interpretations of things and own ideas and tastes. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean it is wrong. And I know my feelings have been hurt by someone saying something bad about my artwork. So I think if someone pins something they think is interesting and you aren't a fan keep your fingers off the keyboard. Don't say anything. My feelings can be hurt easily and I tend to take critisism very seriously. I am a people pleaser. I don't think it is bad to assume everyone else could be like this. And since I do, I watch what I say in order to not hurt them. No one likes to be told they are wrong or stupid. If you feel it absolutely necissary to say something go easy on them. If they don't get it after that then it might be ok to just tell them exactly how you feel.
This may seem like a weird blog. Just abother venting session, and it is. My anxiety is high lately and I've found it just makes it easier to upset me. Why can't everyone just get along? Why do certain people have to disagree with everything I say lately? I think some good advice to end this with would be the words of Thumper on Bambi, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."
