You know what really gets on my nerves? Why nosy people ask the questions they do. Heck- Even people I hardly know will come up to me and ask me some questions that are so personal I wouldn't even bring them up with a close friend. I understand most people don't mean to come off as rude, I understand that most of them actually do it unwillingly. I strongly believe people need to understand that there are boundaries when others talk about there personal life. But when someone asks the questions it's probably not a big deal to them like it is to you. After all, it isn't their life.
Let's be honest here- being nosy is extremely irritating. But I really think that everyone at least a few times in their life have been offenders of this trait. Myself included, here. So being asked personal questions every once in awhile is no big deal, but after awhile I think it can get on someones nerves. Especially if the person who is asking you feeds off of gossip. - Which for me (being in high school) is normally the case.
It does get annoying at times doesn't it? Then again you gotta feel sorry for that occasional socially awkward guy who just doesn't know how to start a conversation. Or sometimes a person just doesn't think something through all the way and say it without it going through the "filter". No matter what though it can be very annoying and I know exactly what your talking about.
ReplyDeleteIf someone says they haven't done this before then they are lying. Everyone's done it, just some people need to learn not to and really try to quit it. At least stop doing it as much.
Then there are the wierdos who do it on purpose. Man, those people are annoying.
