The Australian Dictionary of Invisible Culture for Teachers
being considerate of others (in conversation topics)
attitude: some people can think like this (see more)
Many people in Australia think like this:
I know that it is like this: When I do things of one kind I often feel something very good, when I talk to someone about these things, I often feel something very good.
At the same time, I know that it is like this: I can’t talk about these things to all people. Not all people want to talk about things of this kind.
It is good if I can think about it like this: I can talk about it to some people, not to many people, I can talk about it to these people some times, not at all times.
