I, personally, like to take the opportunity to express aspirations: not just trying to stop doing things I feel are harmful, but also to try new things or practice positive things more. A couple from me:
- Avoid sarcasm when dealing with people, especially strangers, it does not go over well when they don’t get the joke
- Do something positive, helpful, and non-criminal to counter the right wing political trend. (granted, this one needs more detail)
How about you?
Honestly I’m not sure on your age but I get exactly what you’re saying. I’m not sure if it’s a recent thing but I feel like there’s a layer of bs with younger generations and a lot of beating around the bush as opposed to discussing issues and facing problems. Idk, maybe I just have less patience for it. My ranting aside, hope you the best and make sure you’re not holding things against yourself when it is an issue with the other person.
