Unless you know someone very well and feel confident that you are right or have known a person for a very long time, it is definitely a bad idea to do any of the following:
- Tell someone they look tired
- Ask someone if they have lost weight
- Ask someone if they are pregnant
You've seen it in the movies and on TV and it's funny for a reason. But people actually do say these things to people often (I mean daily!) and most often people (women) feel awful after someone tells them they look tired, or imply that they look fat or have been looking fat! Lets stop critically assessing how people look and just talk to people. If you think someone is tired and care, ask how they are feeling. If you think someone looks great - just say so - don't suggest why because then it implies some past judgment you have made. Thanks. And please, someone send this to my mom.
