    Default Don't ask ? if u don't want the answ.

    So today I was grocery shopping. A guy who works there, we always talk, have been for months. He's kinda asked me out, & invited me to see him play(musician). Things haven't exactly been stellar in my life (like many). When he asked how I was doin', I said, "'bout the same". He said, "well, you should be happy, you're not trying". ???So not true. I just thought that was kinda sh*tty thing to say, considering he knows a lot of stuff I've been through. Btw, I don't go on & on about it either, or drown in pity. He then proceeded to tell me he's going on a boat trip to see Dennis Wilson in 3 places he's playing. Oh. So I just started chatting w/another person there, said bye & walked off.

    My father told me about this guy he saw on the street...said "Hey...beautiful day isn't it?" The guy said, "What's nice about it?!" and walked off. My dad thought, "Geez...what a sour asshole."

    Found out later he was dying of cancer.

    I fucking hate that type of person.

    Classic example. A default introduction for a lot of folks is, "How are you doing?" or some variant thereof. I don't ask people how they are unless I actually care. That doesn't mean I'm rude or disrespectful, I just don't get so presumptuous.

    The flip side of this is when people ask me, "How are you doing?" in their standard conversation, and if I say something like, "Shitty," they say, "Great," like they weren't even listening.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.
