societal norms. people feel if they only say 'OK' then they are being rude Smile

this is why people who you actually know do the opposite, when you ask them what they've been up to since you've seen them last they say 'not much' even though you're probably actually interested.

If you don't really want to know don't ask.
I don't see why I should lie to you about my feelings just so you can feel all good about yourself because "I care for other people! I r awsum!"

So in short, fuck you.

Then shave your beard so your special 'friend' won't get his stuff on your beard. Smug

Same here also very bad in social small talk.
But if people ask me "how are you doing" and I really don't feel like talking I just say bad.

You sound like a friend I have. What pisses him off even more tho is when he asks me how I am doing and I give half answers.

If someone asks me how I feel, for whatever reason - I take their word and believe their question is sincere. I do not believe in pretend bullshit friendliness; if you don't give a fuck about how I feel; then don't ask. It's that simple.

Mean what you say, say what you mean. So simple, being "courteous, polite" or whatever is just a veil of lies if you do not say or ask what you really meant.


Yes, yes I'm back.
