Feb 2012

suggesting things to one particular friend because every time I did, she would find something wrong with whatever it was I had told her about.

And if she didn't find something wrong with it initially and decided to, for example, buy something from a place I liked, something weird would always happen and she would end up cancelling the order and I would feel like a fool.

I very seldom offer suggestions anymore unless I'm asked, because mostly it's a waste of my time and energy.
