Here are two articles I posted on Psych Central recently.
I hope you have the time to pop over there and read one (or both) of the articles.
Very interesting articles. I agree about the “inspirational” thing.
I liked the content of both articles. I found some typos in both, but on the whole, I thought the writing was clear and made its points well.

Thank you for taking the time to read them. Sorry about the typos – it seems no matter how hard I try, there a few always get overlooked. I really need an editor’s eye to review all my work, but I can’t afford to hire an editor for all my blog posts. 🙂

I hear you. I think I should try for that job sometime…I seem to be good at it. haha.
Despite the typos, your overall message and the writing, I think, was pretty high quality. I enjoyed reading the posts, and I’ve seen plenty of things on the internet that I didn’t enjoy reading that had no typos. 🙂

I just find myself nodding along in empathy all the way through in the articles and feeling glad you’re writing.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
As regards the people being too pc thing, I have heard a lot of people say that and it strikes me they’re the type of people who aren’t too intuitive or patient and who hence find showing sensitivity to others rather difficult, which is not to say they want to be hurtful, or don’t care altogether, it’s just hard for them and what I’ve been picking up on from these people is that they’re afraid of failing as regards tact and politeness and it’s this which is behind their antagonism to pc promotion. I agree with trying to be respectful and considerate to others as possible, I’m not saying people like that should be given a get out card, I’m just saying the above.

I think you bring up some interesting points and possibilities. I never thought of the “why” people say those things. Very thoughtful comment and I thank you for sharing it on my blog. I hope you have a good day!
