My mother always says; keep your thoughts to yourself. Keeping my thoughts to myself has been a learning experience that I will take with me to high school. You can say things you don’t mean when you don’t zip your mouth. People will then take it the wrong way because they don’t understand what you meant. This can lead to you having no friends. That will be the day when you realize you should have kept your thoughts to yourself.
When you are frustrated, often times you say things you don’t mean. You are just so mad that you don’t know that words are coming out of your mouth. You just start blabbering random stuff that can be hurtful to people. They will get furious and take it the wrong way. They usually take it the wrong way because they don’t understand what you are saying.
Once you make the mistake of saying something you don’t mean, people will take it the wrong way. They will think you are the enemy and never talk to you again. They process what you say and think you are saying something else. They take it the wrong way because they don’t understand what you mean. This can lead to you having no friends.
Your old friends took something you said the wrong way, and now you’re friendless. If you just kept your thoughts to yourself you would have a bunch of friends. When you make one bad decision, your whole world could come tumbling down. You will have to move to another town and get new friends. That won’t happen if you just keep your thoughts to yourself.
If you want to keep your friends all you have to do is keep your thoughts to yourself. It will be easy on you and helpful for you. You know that people can take things the wrong way. So remember keep your thoughts to yourself.
