I'm a little disappointed. Perhaps at the world, perhaps at the people around me. Perhaps in the past I've been so used to surrounding myself with decent people and now I'm finally noticing that I've been beginning to let my standards slip.
But since when has it been ok to replace a simple "thanks, but no thanks" with complete silence? What happened to manners? How is that adults cannot bring themselves to open their mouth and have a conversation with someone, even if that conversation might perhaps be a little awkward?
How is that two people can share intimate moments with each other, and then one of them simply ignore the other person, or ignore what happened?
What's wrong with a simple "thanks, but no thanks"? How is that we've turned into such cold bastards that our own self-preservation of avoiding a possibly awkward conversation takes precedence over thinking about the other person for even a moment?
It's disappointing. People can be so selfish.
