I just wonder why people give a shit. I mean, I get why people care about their own identities. Shit's important. I just don't get why people feel a need to pass judgment on what's okay about it and what's not. "Yeah okay well this is an okay motivation but that isn't." I do get that you might care insofar as who you like to hang out with or admire or whatever, but this whole notion of bringing up what you do or do not like in response to somebody talking about their own experiences and stuff is baffling.
"I've got an allergy to peanuts, so I had to pass on the peanut butter pie at the family reunion. It looked good, I wish I could've had some, and I felt kind of left out."
"Well, are you sure you have an allergy? I mean don't get me wrong, I know some people do go into shock if they eat peanuts, but I don't think people should be complaining about their choices if they're not sure it's peanuts they're allergic to. Besides, if it's just something like you break out in hives, maybe you should have just toughed it out. I don't mind people doing what they need to to stay alive, but grabbing attention if you're not really in danger is kind of needy and unhealthy."
"Yeah, I dressed up for my date and spent a bit more money than I really needed to but I had a great time."
"Oh, you don't need to spend any money on dates. My first date with my husband was just a walk through the park, and neither of us dressed up or anything. People these days are so caught up in materialism or gift-giving that they don't really get to see each other until a few months down the line. Just be yourself and everything will work out, I promise."
Seriously, I get that you have a relevant opinion but you don't actually have to voice it every time it comes up.
EDIT: Also the reason I came here before I noticed whatever the hell just happened, I'm sick. Garlic tea is good for throat but the nausea is persistent.
