>>17298255I mean, I don't purposefully try to look like an asshole, I just literally forget to say stuff when someone comes up to me.
I respond with "I'm fine" if I get asked because it's very simple to say out in Turkish, but I never follow it up with a "how about you" like you're supposed to and then people get offended by that for some reason, then lecture me on about how I should do it next time. And then I immediately forget about the conversation. It's happened well over a dozen times.
I also literally can't say "how are you" back without sounding unnatural. I can't get myself to say stuff I don't want to or really mean, so I have to push the words out rather than naturally have it come out of my mouth, and I guess that's part of why. I get people having weirded out looks every time, so it's actually better for all when I don't say it.
Do you think how it would feel hard to say "I love you" to a friend because you think it might sound really gay or something? That's how I get when I have to reply to someone trying to make that kind of talk with me.
It's also even more pointless now because people only speak to me to see if I'll respond back as they want me to. I've yet to have an actual conversation with someone through the entirety of the grade I'm going through so far.
Anyhow, either that or they just don't hear me when I respond with something because I've had more interactions where I had to repeat things than not throughout my whole life.
It's come to the point where I don't even try to speak when I know I won't be able to manage it, so now that I think about it, people probably do see me like you put it. But I didn't mean it to be like that. Oh well.
Though it's not fully my fault. People here are fucking weird. They ask how you are and then walk away without even giving you the time frame to respond. I guess they're acknowledging my existence, but why would I need that?
