Tuesday Tips: Me MyselfandI

Posted in Tuesday Tips

 

Me MyselfandI 
This conversationalist is so consumed with herself that she never comments on what others have said.  She's the one in the group who is always talking about her own experiences.  "Me" never asks questions of anyone else and so she knows very little about anyone.  She is of no help to anyone because she never answers questions unless it is with a story about "when it happened to me...". 
Nobody OfConsequence: I am a little nervous about all these medical tests.  I am praying nothing is really wrong. 

Ms MyselfandI:
Six years ago I had a bunch of tests.  I was so nervous that I had to have my dh ....

Nobody ofConsequence:
I would appreciate your prayers that everything goes ok.

Ms. MyselfandI:
Oh I remember how everyone prayed for me. Do you know that I had people praying all over the world?
 

Ms. MyselfandI listens "with her answer running" as they say.  She doesn't really listen, but instead, lay in wait for her chance to speak.  She is instead, rehearsing what she will say in silence until it is, again, her turn in the spotlight.  She doesn't relate her experiences in order to relate with others or give them comfort.  She does so to be the center of attention and her motives are almost always transparent.

About Me

I was raised by two Atheists of Jewish heritage, married a non practicing Catholic and became a non denominational Christian due, in part, to some Amway meetings and a Jehovah's Witness who came to my door. My purple crayon writes with humor and almost always a little out of the lines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This blog is my creative and fun way of sharing my thoughts on communication skills relating mostly to sharing and defending the faith. It also reveals a bit about how the Lord took this shy Agnostic girl and allowed her to find her voice and her purpose, a zany voice to the Christian community with insight as to what unbelievers need to hear about Christ Jesus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DON'T MISS: Tuesday Tips, Misadventures of Foot in Mouth Man, Friday Funnies, Defending the Faith SONdays ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more creative fun with JoJo you can visit www.ArtofEloquence.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." -Proverbs 25:11
