Do what you like. Really?
November16
I detest it when well-meaning people tell me this statement : “It’s your life/[insert event]. You do what you like or think is best.” And you know this person will not be happy with your decision because it will probably not be to this person’s liking.
Why do people to do this? Do they think they will make the recipient any happier by saying this? I think this is emotional blackmail, or a guilt-trap.
Even though I’ve encountered this numerous times throughout my life, it never fails to irk me.
Always a pessimistic idealist… the perfectionist… animal lover… dance enthusiast… and snob to people who don’t know me. Coz I’ve got the “proud peacock look”, according to a friend. Ah well… always takes one to know one, no?
