if i get annoyed when people i don't know tell me that someone close to them just died and then stand there and wait for some show of sympathy?
don't get me wrong, i am an empathetic and sympathetic person. and i offer sincere condolences, words of encouragement, and offer to keep a person in my thoughts and prayers.
but still...sometimes that doesn't seem to appease. how much sympathy is it reasonable to expect from a complete stranger that you are sharing incredibly personal details with?
maybe this annoys me because i would never do it. i don't share my burdens with people. i keep my losses to myself. i don't look to strangers for encouragement or solace.
i must be a bad person, but this offends me. to me, it's no different than turning around in the grocery line and saying "i honeysuckle this morning, it was mushy, i call it mudbutt, and i had to wipe three times as much, my finger broke through, i accidentally anally sodomized myself, and had to wash my hands three times"
i'm sure it's true, but i don't want to ******* hear it.
