Why do people think I'm complaining when I comment on something?
But I'm really not? And I'll say things in a nice calm tone, and firstly I'm not even complaining just making an observation.
Like I was at a Baseball game with my brother in law. And I noticed all these people taking selfies with their Iphones and I mention to my brother in law: "Wow. All these people with smart phones!" and my brother in law was like, "it's fine…"
Or I was with some friends one time at a smoothie place. And as we were sitting, I noticed how crazy this machine was mixing stuff and I was like "Wow, that machine! That's crazy!" And then one of my friends was like "It's fine…"
I just don't get it! I was just pointing out something interesting, not complaining.
You are a bit too sensitive. Getting a response of "It's fine…" does not imply the other person thinks you are complaining.
BUT if you still think people feel you are complaining, why not prefix your comment with one of the following phrases:
Don't think I'm complaining, but…
OR
That…(whatever you're commenting on)… Is really interesting, …
OR
What do you think of (whatever) ?
To the last suggestion of "What do you think of…, " I'm betting that you'll still get the same answer, "It's fine." They don't think you're complaining, they just don't express themselves with much imagination.
- Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
- Why do so many people have Iphones? I think there ABSOLUTE crap? The screen is tiny, it has no character, only one boring menu, the screen is dull, it COST 80 DOLLARS A MONTH and the stretched out design is UGLY. I think that even Samsung phone is even better than those overrated phones.
- Why do people think that childfree people are immature and selfish? Marriage isn't living outside of yourself for another person? What about taking care of extended family?
- Why do people think I'm rich? Whydo people think I'm rich? I live in a bigger house(I have 5 siblings.) I have an iPhone. A lot of people do these days. I go to a private school. Honestly people are always telling me I'm a spoiled brat. Yes my dad does make a good amount of money, but he donates a lot of it to charity… I also don't get whatever I want, I have to buy it on my own, or wait for a birthday. Do you think I sound like a spoiled brat/rich? I'm sick of hearing this.
