Sometimes they’ll say, “Nobody thinks like that,” when you try to express your thoughts or interpretations. 6. NOBODY THINKS LIKE THAT. If nobody thinks like that, they imply, why would you go in that direction?
A seventh phrase they use is, “You shouldn’t even act that way.” 7. YOU SHOULDN’T ACT THAT WAY. This applies whether it’s about how you conduct yourself in public or how you deal with personal matters.
