I tower above them, am very pale and blond and I tend to be large all over. This does not bother me and I've suffered from no lack of male attention because of it. It does seem to bother them. A lot.

Actually that's a perfect example of misunderstanding of reaction. When I talk about poor grammar/spelling people often misunderstand my intent, sometimes they get defensive about it, which is interesting. What I do try to do is explain/help, because English can be confusing and it's often not taught well.<br /><br />But I do get frustrated at the really common ones, especially if I've gone on about it at length and my friends are still doing it. I think they do it on purpose to drive me mad.

Sometimes I find my own inner voice colored how I perceived the post. Other times, I decide I was correct in being offended.<br /><br />I was just pondering my slightly extended family last night as they always accuse me of being negative. But when I sit and listen quietly, I observe them being very negative and judgmental. The difference is, they all agree with each other and my opinion tends to differ from theirs.Zusiquhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852468700318495738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196829553153577775.post-28226318699524254022014-04-22T04:55:32.703-07:002014-04-22T04:55:32.703-07:00Thanks Amy.
