Indeed, to be a true writer one must publish truth as it is.Marcindra LaPrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06492259523182503622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-43249313955793053392009-11-03T00:13:16.179-07:002009-11-03T00:13:16.179-07:00Happiness.

I think your views are healthy, and wise!<br /><br />Saying, "I suspect she's feeling this way because..." is really presumptious, and sometimes judgemental. Isn't it nicer to say, "There's no way to know what she's feeling because I'm not her"?<br /><br />I guess I'm tryin' to say that it can really be great to assume unique reactions to unique situations and personalities. <br /><br />That, and it reminds us there is only <i>One</i> that knows exactly what we're feeling.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036771991388790103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-18249393446217287242009-11-02T07:48:01.300-07:002009-11-02T07:48:01.300-07:00Amen.

I didn't cry when I saw Charlie, etc. I think there are too many girls who are too emotional. Everyone is different. That being said I have a friend who reminds me of what you described. She sometimes lacks social tact when giving her opinions, comments, suggestions. Sometimes I think that she completely lacks empathy. Interesting post. Made me think. I liked it.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654034752681918593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-350860610858694752009-11-01T09:43:16.963-07:002009-11-01T09:43:16.963-07:00Sherry Dear,

I'm glad you are trying to be more sensitive. Being able to listen is probably one of the greatest day to day things a person can do for another. You don't have to sympathize. You just need to be able to listen, nod, and maybe smile or give a hug if it is appropriate.<br /><br />Also, this is your blog. You can say anything you want. I might not agree with you. I might argue with you. (Feel free to argue back.) But, your opinion is yours, and you have the right to express it.<br /><br />SuePackrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.com
