OMG! WTF. it's NBD :)

I, like most people, try at all costs to avoid the dreadful act of confrontation. It's never a comfortable situation and always something I put off. With so many new forms of communication these days, people can usually find a way to avoid face to face confrontation. Whether it be through a text message, email or tweet, it's easy to get away with approaching a touchy subject without physically speaking to someone. Whatever happened to the great act of talking on the phone or meeting for coffee? It seems those times are long gone and have left without warning! The last time I renewed my cell phone contract, I reduced the amount of allowed daytime minutes on my plan and added a media package with unlimited internet access and text messaging. What does this tell you?? I have fallen into the trap of non-verbal communication!!

I think I am a pretty easy person to talk to and sometimes wonder if anyone has ever avoided confronting me about something, like I have done to so many people! I will probably never know, but it's just a thought. I personally believe that I rest better and live happier knowing I don't have any growing frustrations with people. I have recently learned that in the end, it's better just to confront them about the situation instead of laying in bed at night going over the scenario in your head. I've been thinking a lot lately about how I really can't stand conflict in any shape or form. I don't like getting in fights with people and usually avoid any type of misunderstanding. Sometimes I wish I could be a little more firm and not let certain things just pass by me without putting up a fight. But at the end of the day, arguing with someone is just wasting moments you could be laughing, so what's the point?

I am actually feeling inspired to try and think if there is anyone I have bad feelings toward and do whatever I can to make it right. I personally like to practice what I preach! So just remember, it's a world of non-verbal communication. All you have to do is send someone a 160 character text ending in a smiley and I bet everything will be better!
