madmax15 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I still keep getting from people the "Don't be hard on yourself" crap. I'll give you an example: I was telling someone I dropped out of this course because it was getting too hard. His response was "Don't be so hard yourself" I'm thinking WTF how's that being hard on myself?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt07 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) It's an innocuous phrase meant to be kind. I don't see why you are making such a big deal out of it. Edited May 24, 2016 by jt07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt07 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 If that's the case, you are leaving out a lot of dialog in your example. This is one of those things you want to just let slide. As I said, it's not an offensive phrase and certainly not worth obsessing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that what did I leave out? Maybe just ask me I'll tell you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
