Well for one thing people have uninhabited thoughts (I think that's correct..) where idea's that are considered horrid, taboo, socially unacceptable ect run through our minds. Those are best left unsaid
Then.. There are the people like myself. "People Pleasers" I am a peices and aptly named, I usually bite my tongue to keep from possibly offending another person. Or hurting them. The truth hurts, so I instinctively try to avoid speaking it. But.. That is not always a good thing and as I grow I realize that some things are better said out loud. Some times the person has no idea what it being done or said.
For example, I have a friend who seemed to use me a lot for things I had such as money, drinks ect. One day I worked up my courage and asked "Look.. Are we friends? Or am I just here when you need me?" She was shocked, but very relieved that I gave her a shove into reality. Things have changed since then for the better
So I work very hard now as trying to speak my mind, and not worry SO much about affecting other people. I kind of overdo my need to keep people happy, sort of a compulsion I have.
Ask anybody that knows me, my most common phrase is "Sorry". Constantly apoligizing for whatever I might have done
It's a bad habit that I am trying to break lol.
But that's me
One thing I do not have a "Jiminey Cricket" on my shoulder for is animal or child abuse. I have no problem speaking my mind to somebody who harms kids or animals.
