Speaking For Others, Or Not

I went to a meeting recently where people kept saying things like, “I know we all feel ...” or “I know we would all agree that …” I don't know about you, but I don't feel comfortable speaking for others. I know there have been lots of times when people have assumed things about me that were off the mark. When I get into a conversation where I'm comfortable that a lot of us would feel a certain way, I still would say something like, “Some of us may feel...”, because you never know.

I will be intentional about not speaking for other people or making assumptions about them.
