I kept my mouth shut and now I'm wracked with guilt. I saw someone being berated and I stood there and mentally hollered for her to stand up for herself. She didn't and he called her stupid over & over again. She bowed her head and hunched her shoulders and to me it looked like he was beating her with words. It was awful. They were strangers to me.

I've done the same thing. I hate confrontation. Well face to face confrontation. Online confrontation is a different animal.

I'm no Trump. Yes, I can hold my tongue when I want to or when circumstances warrant.

Maybe. Probably. Stupid people doing stupid things abounds but I still don't like seeing anyone berated in such a public manner. It's a fucked up way to treat people and I'd only do it to a fucked up person.

No way! You would be hard pressed to do that to anyone. I cannot think of anyone.

You say something and then both will gang up on you.

Now that there sounds like a good reason to post something controversial. Let me think what could I do or say hmmmmm. How bout toe care , yes toe care.
Is it ever OK to wear socks that the toes stick out wearing sandals or should green toenails ever be hidden from the world? I know the only way to cure them is to let them breath properly but when? And is it OK to let the dog lick them?

Do you ever find it challenging (in real life) to not say what you want to say? Is it easy for you to hold your tongue?
I've bitten my tongue most of my life.
I am far more vocal on the forums than I am in face to face life.
I am getting better at speaking my mind when appropriate and when needed. Also I just don't put myself into situations anymore where I feel like I can't say what I want to say and be who I am.
