Something unusual happened to me today

I can't say I get it...

 

I can't blame you uber, some thoughts shouldn't be voiced.

 

How is this unusual?

 

Doesn't happen to often.

 

I expected that by unusual, I was going to read about Rogo holding a crying old man in his arms--tears brimming in his own eyes as the man recounted tales of his sordid youth and then bequeathed his elaborate estate to Rogo with his last breath.. or some such thing.

So what? 18 year old girls don't get crushes on jerks?

 

I think it has more to do with her having the gull to say she didn't like him at first without knowing him and assuming he cared enough to notice in the first place.

 

I think you're right. I only took the time to skim the surface of the issue.

 

That's weird because you have bad manners.

 

It seems kind of silly to dislike her just because of that. People misjudge others all the time. I myself consider it better etiquette to be honest with people and would've taken it more as a compliment that she felt comfortable and was honest enough to admit her first impressions, and then acknowledge that perhaps she was wrong. Sounds like she wasn't intending any harm.

 

This maybe true, she might've benifited from not saying anything in the first place, like she could do with her initial dislike for him. There's nothing wrong in just not saying anything.

 

I agree, she had to courage to actually tell you the truth.

I don't think it's usual at all, she got the wrong impression and it changed. If anything that shows her abilities to update her views on people and your enduring personality.

 

It may have been beneficial, but it's also very possible that she thought he wouldn't take it badly because she was obviously expressing a new level of trust in their relationship by admitting to her error. Either way, I think it's important that individuals know how people first perceive them, because what we think we put out, isn't always what people see, and we may inadvertently alienate people without realizing it and then never knowing.

 

Theres something wrong for not speaking what your believe in my book.

Infact it's the american way to talk your mind. It is the kind of mind we're quickly losing to "There's nothing wrong in just not saying anything".

Political correctness and candyland fetishism (if it isn't in candy land it shouldn't be said, voiced, shown or thought about) enslaving thought... isn't it great.

 

And what she put out isn't what uberrogo saw, and she may have inadvertently alienated him without realizing it, and she may never know! :lol:

EDIT: It's funny 'cause I used what you said to say the exact opposite thing. (Don't hate me!)

 

Yes, you're very clever. But, can you alienate someone that's already alienated??

Touche. I agree with your assessment. All the more reason why we should give people the benefit of the doubt and not hold grudges.

 

Well that's great but this wasn't a belief she held close to her heart that had to be shared with people for there betterment, this was a person telling another person they didn't speak to much, prior information that they really could care less about. By that logic I should flick off every person that drives 35 on a 45 mph road. I'm guessing that we think in our heads for a reason.

Also, that was a format heavy post Naxx.
