    Just enough to make me cringe a little before seeing them, speaking etc. Any wise words?

    No, the sweet too thoughtful thing (or totally thoughtless) that will never be apologized for (it was “nice”) but I always associate with the person and makes me cringe when I see or speak to them…

    you have to come up with a scenerio in your head of what they intended and keep repeating it until it seems real.

    I just tried this on a teacher who told my son that next time he decides to take a day off of school he should consider making it longer.

    It was sweet and certainly with good intention but it doesn’t take away from the fact that I didn’t ask, want or really appreciate it… And as far as I’m concerned, it would have been better had they not been so “thoughtful”.
