Everyone loves an opinion. Specially as the giver! And there’s nothing humble about it.

In my observations, I have seen a lot of people giving unsolicited opinions all across town. They just love telling anyone who would give an ear, everything they might or might not know! And they rarely shy away from this practice, whatever might the situation be…

So what’s the real reason behind this high-handedness? I have been thinking about it for sometime, and the only relation I can see is the need to make oneself heard. To feel superior. To boast!

But all of this should be uncool. Should be… Then why is it not?

One plausible reason is, its a kind of rub-on on others. Many people see others give opinions and add their own to propagate their beliefs and arguments. They supplement to feel more self-worth. And the chain goes on…

And what about the person on the receiving end? Poor soul feels the burden but lets it be, to not offend the aggressor. And in turn gets more IMHO’s. That’s precisely how it’s encouraged!

The simplest way to deal with such guys and situations – Ignore completely and feign arrogance. That’s a easy way to dissuade further transgressions!

As I believe, each person thinks, behaves, acts as per his/her understanding and its nobody’s business to give unsolicited opinions to anyone. Period.

Except, if it’s your wife then all this becomes not so true! 🙂
