i get into a bit of trouble sometimes for my style...
because sometimes i'm in a fuzzy mood...
but other times i am not...and i like to challenge people.
because i appreciate being challenged myself.
i appreciate it when people call me on my sh*t
but i also appreciate it when people do this gently,
because i am sensitive and i do hurt
but i'd rather be called on it than cajolled along...
reallybut different people feel differently about this
some people are able to take more bluntness than others
some people just want support while others appreciate a little bit of bluntness
it can take a bit of time of getting to know posters before one gets a sense of what they prefer...i have called people on stuff...
(at least thats the way i see it)
and they thought i was judging / attacking / hurting
whatever
the point is they felt hurt
and i pushed them too hard...
i didand so one does need to be sensitive to peoples hurts.
i'd also like to say that (in my experience) the psychology board is the board where people seem (in general) to be the most sensitive
and thats okay...
but i call people on stuff a hell of a lot more bluntly on other boards...
(and get into trouble with that sometimes it is true)
but in general...
i find that this board...
is the one people need to be most sensitive on...
