I always thought that expecting someone to understand my thoughts was eligible. In a recent conversation with someone, I came to know that the expectations rise when not answered at the correct moment. If it is so, then why do people not express their feelings when required? Also, I get confused with the other fact that, if people state their feelings, they are termed as either straight - forward, non - diplomatic, arrogant, or even rude! So why again express feelings?
This confusion has risen due to the conflict between my left brain and right brain that say the opposite of each other. One says I should be expressive and say what I feel like to people I trust. I guess that would make my life simpler, however I still think there can be certain things that would hurt the listener. The other says I should be diplomatic and speak politically correct and acceptable statements and not say everything I think. Not even to the closest of my relations. This suffocates me as a person.
I actually don't know what to do however, I have decided on one thing.. I would never expect anything from anyone as far as I can possibly do.. At least if no one, I would be able to keep myself happy :P
I hate saying this, but have got no options! I myself coin diplomatic people as "Hypocrites". I am surely being biased and have no rights to change the meaning of the word but, this is my blog and this is my space.. he he!!
Enjoy and Have Fun!!!
Good Night!

I will tell you something I did cause I totally know what you mean. I have decided on one person amongst all of the others I have (nearest and dearest) to tell about what I think about things as not everyone will listen to what you want to say, much less understand and appreciate. And I guess its ok. Why should everyone(nearest and dearest also) understand anyway.
So, one person...thats all, others- play neutral...more listening and more nodding :P
