HOW TO BE SENSITIVE

When asked to talk about themselves, some people, particularly men, become rather (defend). Others become (rest), unable to sit still or look at their inquisitor. Others, however, become extremely (talk), delighted to have been given the opportunity to talk about themselves. Jenny falls into this latter category. One (innocence) question about her health can result in half an hour’s in deep (describe) of her backache or (sleep) night. What’s more, you daren’t interrupt her for fear of (offence) her legendary (sense) and being described as a (self) egotist with no interest in other people! I have now learned that all (resist) is futile and one simply has to grin and bear it.
