PSA

Making a comment about someone else's behavior using absolutes.

When is that ever acceptable? How can it ever NOT sound like a criticism?

Ex.
"Whenever I come home, you're ALWAYS on the couch, watching TV"
"You get off work early, ALL the time don't you?"

Despite the obvious problems with the validity and extremity of those sentiments,
What's the purpose of those observations?

In the future keep your please 'observations' to yourself.

People need to realize a lot of their observations are soaked in their perceptions, which could *shock* be radically different from another's perception.

*What?! What I think and feel, may not be edict handed down from the frothy realm of truth!*

It's hard to hear that, but some day everyone has to realize the universe isn't 'youcentric'.
