That is what social skills training should be about, teaching children not to offend, and how to get along with others that may not think the same way. Obviously we all have to fake ourselves a little, otherwise it would take forever to explain ourselves.<br /><br />If my room really does smell like manure, I plan to use the Burt's Bees natural spray. It works so well, it even masked the skunk smell that my clothes picked up on a trip.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14559050484005593112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967073850231837312.post-39019002017401145822010-06-12T02:01:16.241-04:002010-06-12T02:01:16.241-04:00In general, I try to maintain good manners, for th...In general, I try to maintain good manners, for the sake of social interaction in society and possibly a job. But I have yet to find a force in the universe that will change what I like, other than myself.<br /><br />I'm really hoping that a simple nod is all that it takes. And that your dorm hall doesn't actually smell like cow manure. If it does, may I suggest air freshener?Corina Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04026707230826401476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967073850231837312.post-42706363580958268212010-06-07T18:28:37.950-04:002010-06-07T18:28:37.950-04:00I know exactly what my mom will tell me before I g...I know exactly what my mom will tell me before I go to college. "Don't think about __ too much. People will think you are weird. Just try to be normal. I know you don't like it, but that's life, and you'll need to conform in order to get any job. Okay?"<br /><br />Yes mom, I have heard these annoying ass lectures from you all my life. There is nothing you can do to change my opinion on this subject.<br /><br />Yet I will have to pretend I agree with her this go around. Just a simple nod and an "alright" may be all it takes. She will not be there to tell me how to act anyway. Away I go with my unconventional lifestyle, along with a scent of cow manure (my dorm hall is rumored to smell like that).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14559050484005593112noreply@blogger.com
