Flu shot: I'm getting robocalls from my employer reminding me that I need to get a flu shot. Pisses me off. No, there's no actual policy requiring it or anything (or else I'd be writing a "hi, it's against my religion" letter), but the language they're using isn't "letting you know we offer free flu shots in case you want one," but rather "reminding you that you need to get a flu shot." Because my employer somehow thinks it's their place to make my healthcare decisions?
It can be hard to support friends who are going through something you don't quite jive with, yeah. But I think we just have to make peace with having different standards for ourselves than for other people (cuz, like, most things other people do aren't even our business, right?) I think we all have things that we aren't against per se, but also aren't going to jump up and be the go-to support person for. I know I have a few hot buttons that aren't at all about being against something, but that are just triggering for me, so I only can offer minimum support for people dealing with that stuff.
