Is Your Partner Looney Tune-y -- Or Just Out of Tune With You?

If your instrument is out of tune, you can always tune it up, and the same goes, for your vehicle. Also -- If your body gets out of shape, you can always work out and get it back in shape. However -- What if your mate, has fallen out of touch with your needs as a partner?

Or, what if, you met someone who needs to be constantly directed by you, when showing you physical affection? How about your emotional needs, as well? Do they say that they want to hear what you have to say, and their actions show to be quite contrary to them as really caring? A bossy or selfish communicator, could they be? Or, simply an insensitive partner, that may or may not have the capacity, to understand and adjust the way that they handle or treat you? (That is, especially, if you are precisely directing them and communicating in a way that is clear and firm.)

What if your guy or gal, over-tries to please you, simultaniouly, stepping on your toes? Or, what if, they hear your directions, but, simply seem to ignore them, time and time, again?

Perhaps, you can relate to this Looney Tunes cartoon:

Sometimes Children Wear the Hats of Maturity While the Parents Wear the Shoes of Egotism

Kids may demonstrate maturity (sometimes) better than adults; while adults, may see themselves as knowing-how-to-act or knowing-better, when it comes to life in general -- sometimes, they don't; and that, is ironic -- would you not agree?

Example ~

Children may act childish, because, after-all, they are children. They are not nessessarily expected to know better; because, after-all, they are not of a mature age; While -- Adults, may present themselves maturely -- after-all, that is what grownups are expected to do. However -- Children may (also) have, a very-good innate sense of appropriateness and understanding of when it cool to act silly, and what is the mature thing to do, more-so, sometimes, than the adults who are supposedly the ones for kids to emulate and look to, as role models.

As we age, the hustle and bustle of the world may help to diminish our sense of what is appropriate, mature, and sensible -- for, we may get caught-up in the rat-race, or become parents too soon or (generally) have an egotistical-side, that sometimes, gets in the way of seeing what is fair or appropriate.

We may also, project our own shortcomings onto our children -- which allows us to notice in them, our own flaws of behavior -- that is interestingly enough, a projection of our own flaws of behavior. We may scold our children, for doing the things that we do, more-so. It's funny, how things (sometimes) tend to be -- and the unfairness/double-standard, is probably noticed and acknowledged (silently) by the children who are a part of that type of double-standard; while, the parents may be trying to be adult parents, however -- they may present themselves (more-so) as being, in the shoes of egotistical children (metaphorically, speaking) -- while (ironically), the children wear the (metaphoroic) hats of mature adults.

Have you ever seen this type of interesting 'flip-flop' behavior-wise? And if so, what are your thoughts about the reversal?

'In All Honesty' They Say -- and Could They Make It Any Clearer That They Weren't 100 Percent True in the First Place?

When someone says, 'in all honesty' -- what are they really saying? Is it akin, to saying -- 'I'll be perfectly frank, with you'? And is being 'perfectly frank', any better, than 'perfectly honest'?

When someone says that type of 'clarifying' remark to you, what do you usually reply (that is, if anyone has ever made that remark to you)? If no one has ever stated, 'in all honesty' to you -- then, I guess that no one has had the need, to acknowledge a gray-area, when it comes to an obvious integrity/honesty.

What do you think, when you hear them 'clarify' their silly declaration of 'perfect honesty'? Would you say to someone so silly, that 'to be perfectly honest with you -- it's pretty obvious, that your complete and 'perfect' declaration, actually, just made obvious, your lack of sincerity and genuineness, by making me think, why you would have to declare being 'perfectly honest' in the first place?

It's funny, how people can try to make you feel secure about their integrity, simultaneously, throwing the faith out the window, with a silly saying, that takes away, from their 100 percent genuineness. Do you also, see the irony?

Soft or Booming Voice -- What's Your Perspective?

Some people are very emotionally expressive; while others (of course), are more reserved, when it comes to expressing their emotions or feelings.

Is it easy for you, to say what's on your mind -- because, that's what comes naturally for you? And, if so, have you also given some thought to how your voice backs-up your capacity to vocalize and be heard, when expressing your thoughts, feelings, and emotions?

Do you have a booming-voice? One that gives you an extra boost of power, to project your expresions? And how well do you believe, that others perceive and take your voice, as being? Have you ever been told, that you have a good telephone voice? And, how do you like your voice, as well?

Have you ever been told, that you are a loud mouth? Or, have you ever been told, that you speak too softly?

The plus of having a booming voice, is that it helps in getting noticed and heard. It can add power to personality. Do you not agree?

If you have a soft voice, are you happy that no one has ever deemed you as being a loud mouth because of it?

Having a soft voice, can a so be a good thing. Which, would you rather have? A soft vouce; or, a loud voice? And what has your experience been, with the type of voice, that you have?

The Irony of Complaining About Complainers

Do you always try to see something positive, out of negative situations? Do you surround yourself with people who are uplifting and positive, as well? Or -- are you with a crowd, that tends to complain; but, somehow, they make everything seem brighter, by a connection of sympathetic, mutual, misery?

There are a lot of pluses to complaining. Venting, and establishing an accord by a sympathetic  'I feel you' -- can really make a difference, from a release and knowing that there is someone else, who is going through the same thing as another person.

However -- When occasional complaining, turns into chronic whining -- it can become non-productive and useless. 

How do you deal with chronic complainers? It would be ironic, to complain about them. Would it not? (Sometimes, people do complain about complaining; but, I am not necessarily complaining about it.) (lol...) 

Can You Relate to Fred Flintstone With the Affectionate Dino?

Does your cat or dog, playfully and persistently attack you with affection when you come home from work? Is the joy of your return and love for you, so much, that it makes you (both) act like the cartoon characters Fred Flintstone, with his beloved Dino?

Do you have a favorite activity, that you do with your pet, that is an expected and affectionately fun routine, when you get home from work? 

Do you know that your pet very-much loves you; as well as, does your pet know that his or her human, has an ample amount of love and treats for him or her?

Do You View Them as Buff-Off Terms -- Or Termonology of Support?

When your friends are effected by others, in a negative way, and they need you to back them up or sympathize with them -- do you ever tell them that they should not let the others 'get them down'? And if you do, how do you beleive that the statement comes across? Have you ever come across someone, who needs you to support them, when others or things get them down; and you find yourself involved deeply in sympathizing with them --

later, finding that when you need some support, they continually seem to buff-you-off with a 'you shouldn't let things get you down'? 

They may (typically) be very supportive and well-meaning, when they give you that advise. Or, they may (present to) be very non-caring, if the term is used without any additional support or all of the time.

If you have ever told someone, that they should not let someone or something 'get them down' or something else (to that effect) -- you may have been very well-meaning. Or, you may have not seen the indifference of that term, that was probably very-well well-meaning; (or, not).

What are your thoughts about the above responses, that have been presented? Do you see, that (when over-used), the terms may seem like a callous buff-off? Or, do you view this perspective regarding the terms presented, to be something that you feel indifferent about. It's okay; I'll try not to let it get to me. (Just kidding).
