Thank you for those tips. Those are excellent examples. I do actually get kind of irritated when people ask me what I’m doing over the weekend. I’m sure most people are just making conversation. I think some people are making comparisons though. Some people ask lots of questions because they want to know how your life measures up to theirs. That’s they way I feel anyway. And lately I’ve been feeling really inadequate so I’m probably over sensitive.
