Eve Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Have you noticed that people dont really directly ever say, 'I wont' in regard to situations, even though their actions say differently? Maybe self improvement is mostly about knowing when this applies to the individual and when others are within such a stance? People rarely seem to want to say this out loud though, why is this? H'mm.. LS and real life situations seem to be littered with the presence but verbal absence of this statement ... Take care, Eve xx
Nikki Sahagin Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Well I'm from England and thats definately prevalent here. As very 'polite' people generally, we will say sorry even if someone bumps into us, will always say please and thankyou and excuse me and will NEVER say 'I will not'....of course a lot of us do all these things haha but its definately a very English attitude.

H'mm.. I am British also. Though tied to civility as an umbilical cord is to a child, I have concluded that things would be easier if people just said 'I will not do' .. whatever, instead of pussy footing about. I see so many situations where people wait for the other person to make key decisions because mainly they evade stating what they will not do, even in the presence of VOWS that say; 'I will/I do' To me, this is unnacceptable and I would feel sick in my tummy if I had to do something under duress or as a way of blatantly evading a key decision. Also, telling fibs, abstract loyalty and playing the victim card seems to take the place of simply saying, 'I wont' I am not trying to divide sectors into those who do this and those who dont in terms of who should get attention but really many of those who wont fess up and set the other person free really are time wasters.. .. This is just somthing I am attuned to at the mo and have found that recognising the above takes much of the sting out of a multitude of situations.. even quite shocking ones! I hate it when people lose faith in a perfectly good scenario just because of those who are unable to do any better with themselves and wont admit it.. Take care, Eve xx
