I realized today there is a way to tell the type of
person someone really is, and it is so simple I am annoyed I never came to this
conclusion before. When a person decides which word between we and I to
use, it can tell you a lot. Which of these words a person chooses to use in
certain contexts is a choice whether they really realize they are doing it or
not.
It may or may not mean a person is selfish, but it
is a window into the person. Some people may never realize they are doing it,
but I am sure some do. Those that do probably have always been this way, but
what about those that don’t realize? Should you slowly start to pull away?
Some people crave attention so is this their way of fulfilling
that craving? Should you give in and just accept it? Or should you demand
recognition? What would Laura Bush do?
I think she would just let it go. Why make a big
deal about not getting a we but instead an I from someone? Does it really
matter? I would really hope getting recognition for something isn’t anyone’s
main goal for doing something. But if it is, then maybe you should be speaking
up. But if you do speak up, does that make you an (insert bad word here)?
Now I get very uncomfortable with attention, but I
understand others may not necessarily need it but want credit. So to them I
say, speak up. If you think you deserve just as much praise for being a part of
something with someone else, then let it be known. But do it in a classy, Laura
Bush way, nobody likes an (insert bad word here).
As for me, it doesn’t really bother me. I now believe
that I can tell a lot about someone by which word they choose to use, but that
is on them. I am not going to judge them for it, we all are different. So next
time someone leaves me out and makes something solely about them I will simply
ask, what would Laura Bush do?
Author’s Note: I don’t really know why, but I just
really like this song from Michael Bublé. It may be the lyrics, the rhythm, or
just the brass section, but whatever it is I love it!
