I have actually embarrassed myself on a number of occasions (both in person and online) by going over the top in my attempts to help people feel better about themselves. I suppose my heart was in the right place but wow were my words incredibly poorly thought through!
I agree life experience is a big factor, as well as being sure to take interest in other people and learning what makes them tic.  |

Total foot in mouth disease- I was speaking with one of my professors on the phone, whom I had never met. Toward the end of the conversation I said, "I was totally under the impression that you were a woman" she said, "I am" Her voice sounded like a man's, but even so-- why would I say such a thing?!? It is funny now
It's been a very tough and thoughtful journey to get this far- lot's of honesty with myself- especially over the particularly ugly stuff. I know I will be trying every day of my life, but maybe some days a little less than others.
