On CS and in dealing with people in general.
Why is it sometimes no one can just have a good healthy rant or tell a story, without always at least ONE person hopping and going, "But what if" or "Maybe this person is this" or "What if there's a slight chance that this person is"........seriously?
Sometimes I feel I can't even vent or share something going on in my life without someone having to question me and my beliefs or accusing me of making blanket statements.
A little over a month ago, I made a thread about one of my friends lying to get attention by saying he was losing weight at a rapid rate and going to the gym all the time, even though he is on disability from work.....then when questioned, he avoids the truth, walks around it, admits that he can't really do much at the gym..... then posted an update and then there was a reply regarding how I was making a blanket statement by saying that not all disabled people can't go to the gym and to quit assuming my friend is lying. Just where was the blanket statement? Was there even a reason to make several paragraphs explaining "Well this MAY be why this is happening to him?"
I'm probably in the minority here, but it kind of bugs me that sometimes people are just venting or sharing something that happened, and someone always has to hop in and steal the thunder with "But what if".......
