It's like if you've having a party, and it's just getting started, it's kind of rude to only expect to attend when it's fully going, and not at the start, and it's important to get things moving. And if things never do get moving, and it fizzes, then it's better next time to get there earlier, and get things moving, than to just dismiss..
Ahh shit. I dunno where you come from, but here being mediocre isn't really a good thing... it's not so great to be a part of the masses... and so it can be taken as a kind of an insult to be lumped in with everyone else. Sure I could have chosen not to take it that way.
It's also a way of kind of keeping conversations going. What if I just say "okay". Couldn't that be seen as kind of dismissive and rude? Whenever someone asks me: "How are you?" And I say "okay" and don't pay attention to them they don't seem to take it that well. Whereas if I say "I am good, and how are you?" then that also doesn't work out quite so well. Shit what are you meant to say?
No insult taken. I am interested to know what people take from what I say.
