I understand the need for boundaries and that time is precious but I think you are being unnecessarily harsh sometimes and alienate people. Just hoping you consider that and take some value from it instead of discarding it like you seem to do rashly in favor of your pre-existing world view.
Sorry if you feel this was a waste of your time again and if you want me to stay out I will. You don't need to ask again.
I appreciate your perspective, thank you for sharing.
The thing is, to put it bluntly, it's rude.
Imagine you're having a good convo with someone and suddenly someone else starts talking to you like "oh wait what? blah blah" and says things that have nothing to do with your convo or are making statements based on distortions of what you said.
No one appreciates that. I certainly don't.
So, I have to set that boundary because it means the people posting here will be people who are engaged and respectful, not rude and inconsiderate.
Now, if you want to post about a recent development in my journal that's fine, I just ask you read up on the back history before you post so you avoid the faux pas.
ION, today in Walmart I saw a girl I just wanted.
I lost track of her but later I saw her and thought "must do the hover!"
So I did.
We made EC and she said "hi" and I said hi.
Me: How's your night going?
Her: Good, how bout you?
Me: Ehh, good I guess... still learning where everything is here
Her: Oh where are you from?
Me: Take a wild guess
Her: *guesses first try*
Me: Wow, what? How did you know on your first try?
Her: haha, blah blah
Me: So have you lived here all your life?
Her: blah blah
Me: Done any traveling?
Her: yeah a bit. Just came back from Hawaii. You?
Anyhow so it goes like this for a while then, without me asking, she reaches into her purse and says "here... I'll give you my card" and I'm like "cool. then we can grab a drink sometime"
her: Hmmm, well, I dunno but here's the card anyways
Me: Cool, I'll text you
Her: huh?
Me: I said I'll text you.
Her: Oh it's not my cellphone, just my work number
Me: What?! *acting flabbergasted*
anyhow, we said goodbye and I left.
When I got home I was like "how am I supposed to transition this girl with her work number?" and a guy I'm living with said "Bro, she gave you her work number?"
Me: Yeah
Him: Bro, just tell her you have a funny picture to send her
I was like "omg! Genius!"
Cool stuff.
