Listening is a practised skill

Ignorance and unsolicited advice! I hate when you ask a question and instead of someone actually answering the actual question I ask, all I get is someone's opinion of what they think I really wanted to hear! If I wanted to hear about the horrible experience you had because you're a big whiner who uses your shortcomings as an excuse as to why no one likes you or were treated unfairly, I totally would have asked! Ugg! So just a piece of advice for the new year friends, when someone asks you an honest question, think long and hard about the actual words used in said question and answer appropriately.
