Description

We currently live in a society where people feel obligated to always speak up.  Some people feel like their opinion is always welcomed, always appreciated and always wanted.  As most of us know, this is not the case and we may need to teach people the fine art of minding their own business.  Now, what does this have to do with mental health and awareness? Well, words matter.  Opinions matter.  The way we interact with others matter.  And the way show and give respect matters.  When the people we communicate with always have to protect their own feelings because you can't learn to just listen and possibly stay quiet, those people start to not want to associate with you.  If those people are your kids, they become distant or learn toxic habits that will affect them in the future. 

Sometimes, like I said, it may be best to just mind your own d*** business.
