A quality of behaviour that was much-lauded by "grown-ups" in my early days.
"Careful", "prim", "proper", "tactful", "polite" are synonyms that have all just popped up as I wrote the preceding sentence.
Laudable, healthy qualities?
Maybe -
I guess, like most qualities, it depends on their underlying motivation.
Ive just spent a couple of hours (about 1hour 55 minutes too long)
In the company of an obsessively "circumspect" person
Who addictively demands that everyone else display the same level of reticence
To say what's really going on in there.
I itched to ask --
What is your anger?
And add the comment --
For Chrissake spit it out before you choke to death on it.
But that would not have been circumspect of me,
Would it?
