Step back...evaluate


I don't know what it is about you. Whenever you open your mouth to speak, I'm already rolling my eyes...Heavy sighs mixed with head nods. Encounters with you are something I try my hardest to avoid. Just the sound of your voice is like nails on a chalkboard. I'm not the only one who sees it. Everyone has something to say about you - usually the same thing. Drives us crazy. That's why I had to take a step back. Evaluate this situation. Although everyone has something to say, what they CAN'T say is that you’re disrespectful. They can't say you're rude. They can't say you’re not a team player in fact you're one of the hardest working people I know. They can't say that you've done anything wrong or said anything wrong to or about anyone that I can ever remember. I had to take a look and evaluate what comes out of your mouth and see that I have no issue with the actual content. Strange... Your delivery is what trips people up. It might even be unpleasant and sometimes abrasive and somewhat overbearing but remove the tone and awkward syntax and sheer quirkiness and the message is always as good as gold. STOP JUDGING, PAUL. Especially by such superficial means. You are quite genuine in essence and dedicated to your craft. Unique. Take the value of the conversation rather than the way you feel it should be presented and let people be themselves. Who throws away wrinkled 100-dollar bills just because they're wrinkled?
