So I've been doing some reflection lately. I have noticed I have an unusually high rate of putting my foot in my mouth. Usually in the form of leading questions, dominating conversations, and offering opinions unrequested. And boy do I have a lot of opinions.

Don't get me wrong, I do value the opinions of those I talk to, and I can offer no explanation or excuse for my behavior. Well, I can but their all just that, excuses and justifications for poor manners. So in light of these self-revelations, I shall make a resolution.

I Here by pledge to consider my words before I say them, that my meaning might be clear and my phrasing optimal. I shall consider whether my opinion is wanted before offering it, and I shall strive to consider the feelings of others before speaking.

While I won't always succeed, I hope that by making this attempt, and documenting it, I might be a better person for it. Social Skills +1?

See ya, Space Cowboy.
