Why pretend? Don't people know that all that diplomacy is fake?
I still don't fully understand it. If time is so precious, and if life is so short, why do we spend it on people we don't like, and doing things we don't enjoy? Necessities (for example, servicing your car) aside, why do we have to be like that?
I can think of a few things that are good about it, though, I think like when I was in my teens, I still am a social misfit. I don't know..what to say, how to say it, how to react, and whether I should take it personally. And yes, it gets pretty technical for me.
It's so natural, for some, and from them I get things like, "It doesn't matter what you say, just say it!" or, "It's doesn't matter how you say certain things!". But, have you ever felt like a whole ongoing conversation just fell flat because you said something in a certain way? I feel it deep in my soul. Ever felt so uncomfortable you just want to leave the table? I do, and I leave.
Why can't I? I mean that not sarcastically, but seriously. Is that some social rule that someone not involved in a conversation leaving the table is equivalent to making a scene?
Maybe I shouldn't get too caught up in all these. It's not me, and if I want to be me, I shouldn't worry about it.
