Listen. I’m going to be straight up realistic with you for the next 500 words and on.
Say it like you mean it, or don’t say it all. Let’s admit it, we all “talk shit”, and theres a fine line between confronting someone and being a brutal bully.
Talking about others can be the best form to release stress, anxiety, or tension. Talking about others behind their back does not necessarily mean you are talking bad about them, but as soon as you begin to throw shade or negativity towards their life, appearance or actions, the action of “talking shit” is born.
It all goes back to the quote our mothers and fathers, possibly elementary school or pre-k teachers introduced to us on the playground, in the car, or before we entered the door of “The Real World and big kids”.
Remember the statement, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
Hate to break it to you, but it still exists. I don’t care who it is, what they’ve done, or where they are from. Stating comments to their face such as, “Why is your hair like that?” “Do you always wear those shoes?” “I think you should probably hit the gym…” or “Your lipstick looks a little dark” is not your place.
If someone asks for your opinion that's a completely different story, but throwing unnecessary comments out there to strangers or friends adds you to the bullying society.
If it’s not nice, keep it behind closed doors. I’m not asking you to start using your manners or change your daily routine, all i’m asking is for your courtesy.
