I'm not being facetious here.
I have this thing I personally call "Real Communication" that happens between all the words that we say. So for instance, I could say, "I'd hit it," but what I really am saying is, "I don't usually like to use a dumb phrase to express my attraction, but in this case, I cant think of anything better (or it just came out...)." So what we have here is 3 words instead of a long neurotic monologue.
Knowing that my "Real Communication" is virtually silent to all around me, I reflect this understanding on others. That is why when I hear or read someone saying something idiotic, I usually don't care. Because I'm sure they have one of 50 different reasons for having said THAT instead of something interesting. The common ones are: fitting in, brevity, and impact.
So with all that said, I'd like to emanate my cool, calm chilled out demeanor to everyone in this thread and insist that none of this really means as much as you're reacting like it does.
