Ever heard of: "Think before you speak"?

It is an all too common problem.

Lot of truth to that.

I have to admit to being guilty of this from time to time, hopefully not too often.

Now listening is another thing altogether! Alice was a very interesting character... embarrassed her father no end.

A phenomenon I notice much more than whether folks think before they speak, is an army of folks thinking they know just how everyone else should live their lives in all circumstances! :(

I agree
i feel surrounded by folks who assume their is only one way to do things and assume everyone is living the exact same way as they are.

Twitter and social media really exposed those who NEVER think before speaking.....
 
I know myself to be abrupt, my tact can be in short supply, but I will not belittle someone or laugh at a person’s looks …I put an effort in seeing the other side of each story and not be argumentative….people on here have been mostly easy to converse back and forth with…
 
People that dont think ahead, are often tactless , but dont really mean…😳🥱
im often thinking to myself……”what has that person got in between their ears “ 🤔
it cant be a “brain “ surely ……🤣
