It is part of the game!.!.!.!.
No one can be sure that by passing their message, by communicating, they will be safe and unhurt!. It is in the rules of the game of interaction!. So, everytime I try get some message through, I am open to all possibilities!.
Being hurt, too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As a couple of others have noted, with age comes the knowledge that it isn't necessarily important to always get your message across!. Some people just won't "get it" anyway, so it's sometimes frustrating to try to get your message through to them!. When I was younger, I'd go out of my way to get my point across -sometimes so bluntly that I'd offend some people (which I didn't mind at times)!. Eventually I came to realize that the bluntness wasn't necessary and that even with that I wasn't necessarily succeeding in convincing people!. Better to just send the message & hope that at least some people will understand!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If I was your body guard & some baddie in the crowd was going to shoot you!. I would shoulder my way through, punching anyone who tried to stop me!. Knocking over tables & frightening little children, then I'd be like "N00O!" & dive in slow motion, pushing you out of the way of the oncoming bullet!.

If however you were just wanted on the phone, I would behave differently :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Peoples feelings are going to be hurt regardless of what I say/do or don't say/do!.
Sometimes people don't want to hear the 'ugly truth'!.!.!.!.sometimes it is necessary!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

!.!.!.it's just not that important to try and "prove" a point anymore!.!.!.persuasion is a failing fury with me!.!.!.I have found that simply living who I am is enough while keeping an open mind with others is a "must"Www@QuestionHome@Com

Quit doing that a long time ago!. I mean, people interpret things the way they want to anyway, so let them interpret the way they wish, and let it go!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I usually try once to get my message though then I forget about it and think everybody has to gain their own experience by their own way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I say my bit, and if someone wants to pick up on it, fine!.
If they don't it really doesn't bother me!.
So I'm happy either way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If necessary, yes, I'll break a few eggs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
