But it struck me as interesting that these comments seemed to imply that it really matters which experiences you talk about.<BR/><BR/>From my experience, all that matters is <I>how</I> you talk about them. I have a <B>lot</B> of friends (high school) that have low self-esteem or simply too much anxiety. Talking about the negative experiences in a humorous light or to show how you overcame them is a good thing. Trying to gain sympathy by talking about how bad your day's been is not.<BR/><BR/>Similarly, bragging excessively about successes is arrogant. Sharing good news is not. Trying to give hope to others by sharing difficult success is good. Trying to make yourself feel good because you're better than others is bad.<BR/><BR/>I've been all over the map in these respects. If you shape your conversations with the intention of building up others, rather than yourself, whether you're sharing successes or failures is inconsequential.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362118.post-44951941981689508532008-02-17T11:46:00.000-05:002008-02-17T11:46:00.000-05:00Brilliant.I'm so TIRED of people thinking that goo...Brilliant.<BR/><BR/>I'm so TIRED of people thinking that good conversation consists of only B.
