saw this on stumbleupon and it started me thinking...
we al do this way to much.
I do it while texting, skype-ing, even face to face and phone conversations!!
why? i think as people we are all extremely afraid of rejection, but its not only rejection I for one self edit out a lot of insults and hateful degrading comments--yeah who knew I was holding back?
This just struck me as self censoring, and I am really against censorship! Now im not advocating being a total jerk for no reason... or am I?
no...not for no reason
so go out there and stand up for something, offend someone today/and make someone blush (in a non-awkward way)
This is amusing to me, because as I type this comment, I find myself backspacing and editing as I go along. It's the oddest thing.
ReplyDeleteI know that I edit the things I say all the time. Unfortunately, in person, I don't do quite as well at editing. So, face-to-face, you generally get the real me. I have an inability to hold my tongue.
Anyway.
Great post.
It made me think.
Keep it up :)
