About This Quote

If you are certain that others will be upset because you are feeling nauseous, then it is best not to say it. If you are unsure of the reaction of others, it is best not to say that you are feeling nauseous at all. Sometimes people feel sick, but they do not want other people to know about it. Saying “I feel nauseous” can often cause someone else to feel upset.
