More quotes by Emily Yoffe
Sometimes people back themselves into corners where they think they have to make kind of an engraved-in-stone decision.
Emily Yoffe
I marvel with distress that in 2015 we are fighting the vaccination wars. It is deeply disturbing that people who should be able to weigh discredited so-called studies instead believe garbage, and so are willing to endanger their children and others. I sincerely hope this madness burns itself out before a lot more people get hurt.
Emily Yoffe
As far as types preferring other types, people of the same type can understand each others' perspective very well, but also drive each other crazy because they see their flaws magnified.
Emily Yoffe
The biggest problem is that people want to tell the whole story, and they write letters that are way longer than anything I could possibly run.
Emily Yoffe
An alcoholic 47-year-old woman with teenagers who thinks a guy in his mid-20s is a good prospect as a partner definitely has some judgment and character flaws.
Emily Yoffe
I am against lying, but just because someone asks a question does not mean you have to answer it.

You may think you're married to a woman, but she's really an overgrown child.
Emily Yoffe
I know this is awkward, but when you laugh after almost everything you say, it ends up undermining you.

I counseled a 75-year-old married, bi-sexual man who was having a gay affair and was not having sex with his wife to continue his secret life because that seemed like the kindest thing to do. But a young woman embarking on married life, hoping to start a family with her husband, needs to at least know he's already living a double life.
Emily Yoffe
People often recommend, Why do you ask? as a good conversation stopper. But that really doesn't end the conversation, it just leaves the other person sputtering for a response. I like, You'll be the first to know..
Emily Yoffe
The world's full of victims and the world's full of terrible perpetrators and I want them identified and caught.
Emily Yoffe
I do feel haunted by some of the letters and the suffering people have endured. But I keep in mind that the people who write to me know that I am a journalist and an on-line advice columnist, not a social service professional.
Emily Yoffe
I have this wonderful capacity just to walk away from my mistakes and not dwell on them.
Emily Yoffe
It is a mystery why people think they need to act as their friends' dietitian, nonetheless it's common.
Emily Yoffe
I'm not suffering from some division of personality.
Emily Yoffe
When my daughter left for college, I lost my in-house consultant to youth culture. There's just stuff I don't get. And there's something kind of pathetic about someone my age trying to pretend she gets it, so I don't try to pretend.
Emily Yoffe
If you didn't want to be written about, you shouldn't have been born to a writer!

Not many people could juggle graduate school and two jobs.
