I have a boomer-ish pet peeve.
I hate it when someone don’t greet or introduce themselves when entering a new place
I get it you’re an introvert. I don’t expect you to interact with me everytime. I’m an introvert as well. But at least greet once when you’re introducing yourself. And That’s it. That’s the minimum fkin requirements. I see this everytime whenever I have to enter a new department and some students don’t do it. I get it. It’s overwhelming. I did too in the past and it’s why I make a point not to do it.
My brother’s girlfriend came over yesterday and she’s been in the room ever since. I never saw her once. Never introduce herself no greeting. God I hope she’s not the type that locks herself up in the room until she need something only then she comes out.
I’ve had a few cousins like that.
Yes in a general sense I agree with you. It’s a two way thing.
But some situations warrants the guest to start first. And some older folks, they want you to take initiative and start first. Believe me I got scolded many times in the past for not introducing myself. Which is fair. I’m the stranger going into their land. I’m the one who has to appear friendly and non harmful to their place.
These days I just langgar tembok and terrorise the younger person into an introductory chat before leaving them alone. I figure it’s a lot more effective from an introvert pov lol - 1. I broke the ice; 2. I don’t get to terasa; 3. If they’re cool they’re gonna say hi at another time as membalas, if not they’ll turn turtle and it’s not my fault XD
I talked to my SIL yesterday to hear her side of the story. I still don’t trust ANYONE’s side of the story. I’ll stay out of their bickering shit. Yes it’s annoying when they involve my name in their arguments, but as long as I have my mental health under control, I’m going to ignore what I can. I don’t know why this morning I just feel “Whatever” even though I’ve been so anxious and worried for the past few days because of them. This is the kind of mood that I want, the idgaf mood, no effect on my mental health, and I can do stuff normally. Maybe because I’ve realized that even my SIL still uses taqiyyah here and there in order to bring me “kembali ke pangkal jalan”. So now I don’t care anymore if she fights with my mom. Sure, my mom is the JustNoMIL, but I’m not gonna help my SIL either if she doesn’t respect my choice.
I kept seeing an adooorable fluffy oyen kitten for a few nights already. Nak adopt tapi takut it’s someone’s pet. No collar, was out late at night. Looks well fed (not skeleton-looking) and fur all cantik - no matted fur or brown spots. I’ll just pspsps when I see it instead of taking it in then. :(
I see if it’s always out 24/7 or not or ask around the neighborhood if it’s stray or not
If you give it some food or give it some pats it might just follow you home. “Eh the cat followed me back here on its own, what could I do?”
Happy Sunday! Had daging korban soup and sleepy af now, but got housework to do. Side eyeing my sleeping, non-rent paying, non-chore doing cats 😒
Electric pressure cooker is a godsend. Tho I tak berani to use the manual one. Like a sensitive time bomb. Could just explode on you suddenly.
Lemmy.world is updating to 0.18.1 soon, i wonder how it feel 🤔
It also lag like heck due to a surge of user
Yeah but dang, i like the UI, and no more buggy bug. They also give user without an icon a default one, so much neater. Too bad there’s still no default icon for community though
