Another pet peeve of mine is when someone tells you about their obstacles in life and then later use words similar to, “You don’t know what it feels like to be at the bottom” without really knowing you.

1) I didn’t ask for you to tell me about the troubles you are having. I’m honored you’ve confided in me, but don’t be mad at me if I’m not giving you the advice you wanted to hear before talking to me. I won’t affirm your beliefs if I don’t agree.

2) If you don’t really know me, how can you be sure I don’t know what it feels like to be at the bottom? Even people who are very close to me don’t always know everything about my life.

3) Don’t burden me with, “I’ve never told anyone else this so please don’t tell others” and then tell everyone else and their mothers (not so) privately as well. Might as well save your breath and our energy of keeping the secret and just hold a meeting about it
