Dear Bridgitte, stop being so cautious

The challenge I face when writing about different cultures and communities is being oversensitive. I am an extremely outgoing person who likes to make friends no matter what culture or community they come from. Knowing such a diverse group of people makes me aware of how many different groups I could possibly offend in my writing. Because of this, I become extremely cautious when writing to make sure that I do my best to not offend anyone. Starting today, I plan on researching some different cultures and trying to understand them better so that I can be more knowledgeable and less cautious with my writing.
