Merriam-Webster defines squelch as, "to fall or stamp on as to crush."
Are you a squelcher?
Read the following statements:
1. Are you kidding me?
2. Whatever I say goes.
3. Who's bright idea was that?
4. Not in this lifetime.
5. My way or the highway.
6. That wasn't a joke?
7. That's not in my job description.
8. They don't pay me enough!
9. They don't care anyway.
10. Too much paperwork.
11. Let's just agree to disagree.
12. The recession, its recession time, with the recession and all...
13. Really though?!
14. I'm tired of always being the one...
15. This time, you're on your own
Any sound familiar? If you have said (aloud or silently) one or more of the statements above... Then you are a squelcher!
My name in Andrea, and I am a squelcher. I don't squelch often, but when I do numbers 7 and 8 are my personal squelches of choice. My list is so... long because its easy to rememeber the negative things that others say. I wonder if I had to make a list of encouraging sayings, would it be as lengthy?
