Yesterday I didn't get around to doing a post I was busy sorting out photos
and writing letters to pen pals but I am up early again today and I have
thoughts galore running through my head so while I wait for mum to pick me up
so we can go and visit nan I am getting started on a post.
Do you ever wonder how people talk about you? Do you think people are
always talking about you? Are you sure everyone has an opinion about you?
I have a sister who always seems to think the family are talking about her
and that she is often the topic of conversation...............but sorry sis you
are not.................lol
Someone once said if you knew how little people talk about you, you
wouldn't think people talk little about you............or something like
that.................
The point being generally speaking I think most people are more caught up
in their own lives that they don't sit around gossiping about other people all
the time, it is rare that I talk about my siblings to my husband or children
and I don't they talk about me to their other half and children.
Do I talk about my children to my mum yes I do in fact the only person I
ever gossip with is my mum and we will talk about my dad and my husband and
sometimes my kids and yes sometimes my siblings but guess what we do not go
around saying bad or negative things about them. If dad is annoying mum she
will have a bitch to me about it and if Tim is pissing me off I will have a
bitch to her about him.
Sometimes I will come upon my sisters chatting and will jokingly say “you
talking about me” but you know to be honest I don’t really think they are and I
really don’t care if they are……………also I do not automatically think if someone
is talking about me they are saying bad or negative things about me maybe they
are planning a surprise for me or talking about what to get me for my birthday
or Christmas why is it that so many people automatically think people are
saying bad things about them………maybe they themselves have a habit of talking
badly about other people so they think if they do it everyone must do it.
I've heard this saying I like, "What other people say about me is none of my business." Likewise, as I age, I truly try to say nothing or write anything about someone that I wouldn't say in front of them. Makes life a whole lot easier!
ReplyDeleteI like that saying I don't care what others say about me I am too busy living my life to worry about such stuff
Deletei'm always amazed at how people talk about one another I am so shocked by it at times. All i can think is if this is what they say about their friends I hate to be their enemy
ReplyDeleteCome Say HI
Yes I so hear you brings to mind the saying with friends like that who needs enemies.........
Deletei always say just lemme know what i did so i can live as vicariously as y'all do! it's probably much more exciting than the truth! lololol
ReplyDeleteYes I agree completly........my life is not as exciting as some people might think
DeleteI don't think people tend to talk about me but if they do they have pretty boring lives. Nothing is so exciting about my life that it would bear repeating.
ReplyDeleteI, too, have a friend that always believes people are talking about her. She is so paranoid. Frankly if she is leading a good life what could they possibly be saying that would be bad? I don't get why she worries about what others are saying.
Yes there is nothing exciting to say about me either I live a pretty adverage life, I don't think it is boring just adverage,,,,,,
DeleteThat is the truth - if people around you are talking about others - you can guarantee when they are with others - they will be talking about you too!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree and what the hell they would have to say about me is beyond me......
DeleteWhen someone talks smack about others and their family, I believe they worry greatly about what others are saying about them. What a terrible way to live, don't you think? :)
ReplyDeleteYes I agree I never give much thought about others talking about me.......
DeletePeople who talk negatively about other people usually do not want anyone looking too closely at them. If you are talking about someone else, then you are not talking about them. I prefer to uplift people, not drag them down. There is already enough of that in this world.
ReplyDeleteYes I also prefer to uplift people and make them feel good about themselves....
DeleteYou still have pen pals I am impressed in this era of social media.
ReplyDeleteYes I still have pen pals and love writting letters and recieving letters
DeleteLike Linda, I think it's lovely that you still are still writing letters to penpals! I used to love receiving letters. The older I get, the less I worry if people are talking about me or not. I always try to be kind to people, and to make them feel good, so I would hope they can't say too many negative things about me!¬
ReplyDeleteYes I think most of us find as we get older we care less about what others say or think about us....and I love writing to pen pals......
DeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteI used to have an American pen pal when high school days; makes me wonder how she is now♡♡♡
Oh, I DO agree with your other friends' coments, my friend. To tell the truth, I really was nagged by my neighborhoods' gossip who would be the guilty part of not having a baby when young. We didn't have air-conditioning 30 years ago so we can hear the talks outside, p;) Well, yes as get older I gain the feeling "who cares!", haha.
Lots of love and hugs from sis-city in Japan, xoxo Miyako*
I find people who judge someone who doesn't have children idiots there are many reasons someone may not have child some people can't others don't want to whatever the reason it is no one elses business
