Why do some people seem to think that they have to talk for you? It’s a frustrating habit that I’m becoming more and more conscious of. People in my life seem to think that just because I have not reached the situation that is considered socially acceptable that I do not possess the capacity to utter my own thoughts, or divulge what has happened to me for myself. Is it just me being hyper sensitive? No even if it is, I still have the right to speak for myself.
I might have made a fairly major hash of my life up until this point, obviously nobody really chooses to still be living in their parents’ home by my age, unless they have a slightly disconcerting over attachment to their parents. That still doesn’t mean that people have the right to talk down to me, or force their own opinions on me, as though I am still not mature enough to lead my own life.
How do you express that, without being rude or acting like the child that you were? It’s yet another thing that I will have to master quickly.

I'm a thirty something woman who lives in the north of England. I have been a writer for as long as I can remember, creating stories both written and verbal since childhood. While studying at Edge Hill College, I got several poems published by a small publisher in the USA, and in Europe. I have been part of several writing groups, and done quite a few courses in a attempt to hone my writing skills further. I love reading different genres of fiction, knowing that the best way to develop my own writing, and my vocabulary is by exposing myself to the different ways that other people choose to describe things.
The most recent writing course that I've been part of, run by a published author, included a exercise in which we were challenged to read things that we would never usually even look at.
It inspired me to take up a challenge. Namely to attempt to read at least one book by every author which is stocked in my local library. I soon realised that I was being far too ambitious, especially given the fact that every library rotates their stock too often for me to keep track.
I've decided to instead attempt to read a book every day, starting with a author whose surname begins with A, and ending with a author whose surname begins with Z. It doesn't matter what the topic of the book is, or if it's fiction or non fiction, everything is useful for me at the minute.
