I can relate. For me, it is always easier to say positive things because of the good reception expected. But there are times when the right thing to do is to speak one's mind even if it will lead to disagreements, especially when other people are put down and taken advantaged of. This takes courage though especially in this era of making instant enemies on the various social sites.csimmons032 wrote:The only thing I can think of at the moment is that I have often not said something that I should have because I felt that it wouldn't have been received well. I hate it when I get in situations where I feel like I should have said something and I didn't. I have been trying to work on speaking my mind more often, but doing it in the most respectful way that i can. Unfortunately we can't avoid disagreements, but we shouldn't be afraid to tell people how we feel, and that's what I have been trying to work on.

I agree to this. We worry so much about the people we care. We sometimes restrict our own selves to do the things we love, for the sake of others. The people you are concerned about, are the same people who will put you down.CarrieMe wrote:I don't truly regret anything, but I do wish that I'd spent a lot less of my life worrying about what other people thought about me. It's just not worth it. (And the truth is, other people don't think about you nearly as much as you worry they do.)

I love that you don't let other people info influence you too much. It's sad whenever I come across someone who does.Jessa Ringcodan wrote:I'd love to say absolutely not but sometimes, we do need to take into consideration other people's opinions about some things because sometimes we might not be thinking clearly or objectively. That is not to say that I'll always assume other people's viewpoint, I'll always be free to be who I am.
