“It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.”
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that one. But alas, it is true. My biggest obstacle seems not to be necessarily what I say, but the tone I use when saying it. I’ve been told time and time again that when I speak, my tone conveys disinterest or sarcasm or exasperation, when in actuality I’m feeling perfectly fine. I’ll just have to work myself into the habit of taking a quick second to think “Could what I’m about to say or the way I say it hurt someone?” before I open my mouth. Hopefully this pays off in the end. 6 months ago
