The problem is that we all hate delivering bad news and it makes us feel really uncomfortable. So we usually end up doing all the wrong things, as you suggest, and making bad worse. I think our discomfort levels often override our good sense when the time comes to tell someone something we know is going to hurt. And then of course there's always the ratbags who like your emale slime, who actually don't care what the recipient is going to feel, as long as they don't have to actually watch or hear it.

It seems the "emale" syndrome is alive and well unfortunately. But we all need to be conscious of how we deal with others in this hectic world we live in - which is why I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by and comment! :) S.

I have many people in my life you counter with their own problems. I’ll never forget the episode of Sex in The City when Berger broke up with Carrie on a Post-it.

The most important point for me in this article is not to go shouting it to the roofs! The more opinions and advice you get the harder it is to absorb. Keep the news to your close relationships. They will help you. And people who counter your bad news with theirs are definitely to be avoided. Like, "You think you've got problems. Listen to mine!" Email is definitely cowardly and very bad form. Personally, I think it is unhumane. Definitely worth a stumble! The most important point for me in this article is not to go shouting it to the roofs!
