I'm also very selective in what I allow people to tell me. No, I'm not sitting there with my hands over my ears going lah lah lah, I can't hear you. But if someone tries to talk to me about 1. gossip, 2. horrible things that are in their heads, 3.Horrible things that happened to someone they don't know or don't care about, I just tell them, no thanks I don't want that garbage in my head. Save it for someone who might enjoy it.
