Death by Conversation

Talking to some people is like being hit by a dump truck. It's like stabbing yourself in the heart with a jagged knife and twisting so it won't come out. Why express yourself to someone if it's just going to end up in a back and forth about each other's faults. The purpose of saying, "What's wrong?" is ruined because instead of listening, understanding and making amends; they're trying to get you back.

Being myself -- expressing myself -- is like being hit by a dump truck while I'm stabbing myself in the heart with a jagged knife!

Yes . . . questions such as "What's wrong" are often better left unanswered, unless you can really trust the person who is asking.

That's a question that I've never asked unless I have the time to listen, but I always want to ask it, because I always really do care. That stinks what happened to you!

Some folks never understand that you should reach out with your heart not only the words. most times "What's wrong?" is really Why aren't you focused on me? Never let the short comings of life stop you from being you. You are wonderful!!
