social etiquette is confusing

Sometimes you just need some support. It’s really annoying when you’re talking to someone and they’re like “uh..really? You like that?” And then, they look all disgusted like what you want to do it completely different from what they think you should do. They think that they’re helping, and you know that they’re really not. Sometimes, it’s just nice to tell someone something and have them say “Good for you.” Or some other type of support. You might know that they’re just joking when they say that, and they would totally support you in the long run, but it’s just nice to have some confirmation. If you’re just saying something nice, and don’t really mean it, I probably know it. You probably know it. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to comment on it or burst into tears like “You don’t mean it! Waah!”. But these are the times when people get butthurt, and it’s just a good idea to say something nice or nothing at all. Actually, don’t say nothing. That would be really awkward…
