Have you ever been talking to someone and they say those words"You are too_____." It doesn't matter what it is. As soon as you hear those words your defenses go up.
I was watching an episode of Real Houswives of somewhere the other night (yeah, I know what you are going to say) and the women were sitting around talking and drinking. All of a sudden I heard it: "You are too sensitive." A fun evening of girl chatter and drinks suddenly became an unhappy group of arguing, crying, unhappy women.
Today someone told me I can be too whiny. I was a bit surprised, okay shocked. But maybe I am not so self aware. Maybe I am whiny. Maybe people are just being polite and this person is telling the truth. Suddenly I feel like I am on Survivor. Is the tribe lying to me or is my alliance lying to me? I don't know. After the person said it she sent me a text sort of apologizing telling me we have known each other a long time and gone through a lot. That anything she says is with affection.
This is why I don't like "You are too..." statements. Of course you are too statements can be positive also. You are too nice. Pretty. Smart. Sweet. Brilliant. Kind. Those I like.
Until tomorrow...
