How often do you say or write something

and only later realise that it could have been offensive? 😬
Pleasedonthatemeoverthis. 😭
so i was looking at chapter 79 yesterday 😑 there's something that i didn't like about it, it feels like the author trying to shove Granolah into my throat 😑 the new chapter literally scream 'look kid Granolah is cool, come on.. come on.. make him your new favorite character' 😑
@Classified yessss

@YukikoAmagi Blast away then. 😌
@Classified it drains a lot of energy

Not all the time, but I have to be more mindful of it than I used to be. I am a pretty empathetic person, but how people interact on the Internet has changed. Excuse me while I do my best granny voice, “in my day” lol people would just share their thoughts on the Internet where is now it’s inappropriate to give your feedback or advice without consent. The post itself is no longer an invitation for that kind of correspondence, so it comes off as intrusive to some people or invalidating/insensitive.

@WhateverWorks It's an extreme though. Most won't do that completely, especially when someone gives them advice in a careful manner.
WhateverWorks · 36-40
Yeah, that’s what I mean the approach has changed. Now it takes more rapport building otherwise they feel attacked When from my perspective I was just discussing things, but since I’m not a dick trying to run around attacking people I recognized this change and altered my communication style lol @Classified

@WhateverWorks That's true. A good listener can give a better answer too, so it helps anyway. 🤔

Everyone has the right to be offended. We move on.
Classified · M
@MasterLee Do you mean there's always gonna be someone who's offended? 🤔
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@Classified yes and that's on them. If you allow people to offend you they control you.
Classified · M
@MasterLee Well, I get that when I have an opinion, people can be offended and I agree that's on them, but I wasn't really taking about that situation. 🤔 More like for instance a stupid joke that wasn't needed.
I'm thinking about taking a vow of silence for a month. What does that say?
Classified · M
@thewindupbirdchronicles True but still. Wouldn't you need to talk for your job? 🤔
@Classified Oh jeez, I already thought out the parts I would need to talk.
Classified · M
@thewindupbirdchronicles You're really serious with this.

Fairly often. I don't say more than I do, many times.
Classified · M
@Magenta Don't get any burns. 😱
But they can't be too hot, right? Otherwise it would be dangerous to put them on the tree. 🤔
Magenta · F
@Classified Right. I didn't leave them on long enough to burn anything. 😊
Classified · M
@Magenta Just long enough to take that selfie. It's playful. 😄

From time to time. But maybe more often insensitive than offensive though.
Classified · M
@CrazyMusicLover That's quite the skilled explanation. 😃
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@Classified At least...that's how I understand it. 😅 Different people get offended by different things so that might not apply to many in the end...
Classified · M
@CrazyMusicLover What you said made sense to me at least. 🤔 So for this conversation it's all good. 😄

Often, there are a million ways things can be taken, one can't be too careful, and there's no point to doing anything if trying to be that careful.
Classified · M
@SW-User That's too careful yes, but that's on others. I meant when it's more on me, because I say stupid stuff. 😅😅
I don't know about offensive but a couple of times it was def taken wrong because of how I worded it.
Classified · M
@Spoiledbrat That's annoying. 😩 At least then you can explain its because of the wording. Sometimes I feel people are conditioned to take what we say in the worst possible way though. 😐

Sometimes. I have to be careful, especially when texting.
Classified · M
@Lumberjack70 With texting you lose the intonation.
Lumberjack70 · 56-60, M
@Classified exactly
Classified · M
@Lumberjack70 It is always a little more tricky. I tend to use emojis to recover some of that.

@Keepitsimple Hopefully the people know how to interpret you then. 😅
Keepitsimple · 51-55, F
@Classified No but that’s ok

@Notsimilar When you're just trying to have fun and didn't mean anything bad, right? 🥺

It happens but I think the cancel culture mentality makes it worse
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Classified that’s very true
Classified · M
@iamonfire696 So then I can only edit it. 😅
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Classified lol yes
