People think I'm stuck up too because I'm so quiet in real life, I just hate making small talk so much that I won't even do it.
People who know me through the internet think I'm going to be loud and extroverted when they meet me irl, and for some reason they imagine I have a really high pitched voice idk |

I wouldn't say I get any different reactions from people on the internet or in real life. I'm pretty much a book with just a cover, so there is nothing to misconceive.

You want to hear something crazy?
I just found out that one of the meanings (the main one) of rimshot is budum tsh. Practically every other meaning had occurred to me but that one. Quote:
But I'm aware I don't have that much to base it on. We just had that one bristly exchange really. Last edited by Face; 03-19-2013 at 04:43 PM. |

While it may be admirable (and less of a hassle) to refrain from insulting someone based on a personal belief, how far does such a saying extend in terms of applicable criticism that ultimately serves the very important purpose of showing others that their perspectives are not the end-all of understanding, but that other people do think differently, regardless of who is actually correct? Are we classifying "good" as an ego placation, or as a tactic employed by which an opposing opinion is formulated so that it is received well without losing its message? I think there's a pretty important difference in the two, and a lot of people confuse "saying something good" with "saying something that the other person will agree with". And in that case, I think communication itself is being rendered useless as a function of the exchange of different ideas between individuals. If we are only going to submit opinions that coincide with those that we come across, humanity may as well be one person in a series of mirrors.
