I need it off my chest
-
Today I got a new word to describe myself. Courtesy of my friend.
I am now good, bad, emotional, cold, philosphical, crappy and some others that I can't remember. The latest additional is immature.
-
My friend cited an example that my use of words shows that I am immature.
-
This is also why I got some of the other descriptions. So here I am to defend myself and let ppl know more ABOUT ME.
-
I have many frens from all walks of life. When I talk to them I try to choose the appropriate form of language. I can be refined, vulgar, concise or naggy. This is the way I communicate. If anyone is not happy with the way I talk, you shld let me know. I am NOT God. To accommodate you, I can change the way I talk. This is not hyprocrisy, like what some of my frens think. This is so that I am at the same level as the person I talk to. Or maybe I am easily influenced.
-
When I am with an Ah Beng, I talk like AB. When I am with a kantang, I talk like kantang.
-
The way I talk to someone also reflects the level of comfort I feel. But it DOESN'T have to. I do care abt other ppl's level of comfort. IF they let me know. I always try to guess other ppl's mind, but like I say, I AM NOT GOD.
-
Another complaint is I talk with ambiguity. This in fact, in my perspective, is a skill I am learning. Although it drives some ppl crazy. Long long time ago, I heard from a fren of a person who always leaves an escape route for himself when he speaks. Which I personally feel that is a very good method.
-
So when I say "maybe", or "I think so but I am not sure", it is so that if something goes wrong, ppl can't come back and say "WL, YOU TOLD ME THAT BLAH BLAH BLAH AND NOW IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"
-
Most of the abovementioned ("Most of" is my escape route here) can also be applied to other perhaps unacceptable behaviours of mine.
-
So if you don't like something, TELL ME!
