Button Identification, Cont'd

[mlerules]

Overly broad statements/generalizations, which I myself utter on occasion. Perhaps it's some of the very things that I myself do that I resent so much when others do 'em. Ironic this. And hypocritical, one of my least fave things. *sigh*

Gonna keep eyes/mind open and see when I wanna blurt out something. Gonna working on thinking before speaking more, on being more aware and less simply reactive.

Unthought-through utterances. This. Lots. No knee-jerking. Heh. I wanna not knee-jerkily respond to knee-jerk utterances. How better/best to respond to 'em then? First: figure out if'n 'tis indeed a knee-jerk utterance. How? Perhaps engage in dialogue, have a conversation. Kindly. Nicely. Without assumptions. This is key. Without assumptions.

Wow. Great strides in understanding happening...in regards to my low-level of understanding of thought processes engaged in by others. The ether is thick w/irony today.

Perhaps it's less a button issue and more of an issue stemming from me making assumptions about someone else's thought processes based on what they're saying. *sigh* Isn't this embarrassing...

Isn't this embarrassing... Perhaps. But I find it common. Particularly with me. ;-) There are so many ways in which I, on a daily basis, am willing to put myself in other people's shoes, and yet, when it comes to the knee-jerk reactions, I find myself readily willing to throw it all out the window. Thanks for airing your thoughts. It's good.

Thanks for airing your thoughts. It's good.

You're most welcome. And thx for commenting. I LJ primarily for myself, but it does help knowing others're out there, too, and the interaction and discussion's really good (and helps me figure stuff out).

You are human. That, alas, comes with some of the psychology and biology that kept your ancestors from being eaten by animals or by other odd acting hominids.

I'm consistently impressed at the effective work you do at identifying these issues, and minimizing their impact on life.

Hugs and love to you.
