Hurtful comments...
have any of you ever been in a conversation when somebody says something, merely as an observation or opinion, but doesn't realize that it is personal? it's complicated to explain, but most of you probably have been there. like somebody makes a comment about death without realizing you just lost somebody you loved. or they say something about your profession or the profession of your parents (a good example would be if they made an off-handed comment about how all ministers' daughters turn out bad without knowing that you're actually a minister's daughter yourself).
maybe it's just me and the life i've had, but isn't all that uncommon for me. it's happened 3 times in the past couple weeks with 3 different things. i generally don't get upset about it because i know that they didn't mean it. if they knew and were being insensitive or mean, then that's another issue. but i generally don't socialize with people who want to be hateful toward me. anyway, just wondering if this happens to anybody else.
p.s. my bank offers web-based turbo tax accounts for free to their members. how cool is that?!
