- people's (customers & coworkers) observations and comments about me to me. If I don't like what someone says or don't have the energy to chit chat I remain silent which provokes them to pry (if someone doesn't respond to something I've said I take a hint). To what extent does a person need to explain themselves?

-in an general way, if an action by someone causes me difficulty my first feelings/thoughts are that that person is inconsiderate or rude when they are probably just trying to get through the day as best as they can. This makes me sound selfish. I didn't used to be this way.
