: the advice that many of you give would be far more effective if you didn't assume that others who post haven't "been there", or are so desperately in need of your priceless wisdom. many come here to pose a question and see the reaction...some are desperate and lonely, some really want advice...i know that...but some of you come across as gurus of enneagram wisdom, and it makes me sick...using terms like "just remember", as if what you're saying is an absolute and will work for everyone...as if they are dependent upon YOU to tell them. not only is it presumptuous, it's ineffective.

Just remember that heightened sensitivity usually says more about the person taking offense than those offending. And yes, I put that "just remember" there to annoy :p
