but it annoys me when I bother to start a conversation with someone… and it goes nowhere. Like, I try to carry a conversation, but it goes both ways. I’m not going to put myself into a conversation if I’m getting back detached one word answers.
Another thing that bothers me is when I care enough to ask someone about their day and there’s no reciprocation. Like, sure. I’m not asking you just so you’ll ask me because chances are I don’t have anything important to say about it, but it’s the principle of the the matter. I feel like it’s good manners to care about the conversation you’re having with someone.
And, if I ever hear someone whine about us not talking much anymore, I’m probably just going to link them to this, because chances are that the reason we don’t talk is because we can’t carry a conversation on their lack of reciprocation and not my lack of trying, because I do. Why? Because I actually do care about my friends and keeping a relationship with them.
Sucks that that doesn’t matter to some people, but oh well. I’ve stopped caring.
