Dear Co-worker,

You might not realize how rude and socially inept you are, but you should at least realize that I didn’t get my hair cut for you. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it from women. I know a lot of men aren’t crazy about short hair and are often uncomfortable with change in general, but “Holy Cow – that’s different!” type of comments should really be kept to yourself. You kinda ruined my whole morning. Didn't your mother ever teach you that if you can't say nothing nice, say nothing at all?

Dear Self,

Don’t worry so much about what other people think. In most cases they don’t matter in your life at all (like stupid coworker above) and should not have the power to make you feel bad about yourself.
