I'm pretty soft-spoken, quiet and a little shy around others but I'm incredibly empathetic and don't like seeing people upset so I try to do little things to reach out to others. For instance, if one of my friends is verbally expressing some type of frustration, sadness or worry, I always ask the person sweetly, "Do you need a hug?" I always think that hugs from a friend can make you feel a little better but some people aren't always affectionate like that, so I always ask [Mind you, I'm in my 20's].

Most of the time, people smile and politely decline. Happened just recently in fact, and the person smiled, looked at me and then said alcohol would work better...

SO: do you think they're internally poking fun and thinking I'm corny or trying to pry? Or do you think the smiles mean that the gesture is endearing?

It is possible to grab the hook or the bucket but shouldn't we just put that down to experience in the greater journey on this large canal we call life?

does something for you, you should ALWAYS be grateful, even if it was the person's duty to do that 'favor' to you? For example, with your parents, should you be grateful for what they did for you, or just take it as something thay HAD to do...

Whats a classy measured mature response to a "friend" blowing you off 2 times in a row drinking

This friend is a co-worker so i dont want to make waves per say

The co-worker literaly sits 1 meter away from me

I give him rides home every night

i dont want to be petty but i do want to send a clear message that he ****** up as a friend

Basicly he says lets go drinking on this night and then doesnt answer his phone on that night were suppose to drink .

If he would have answered his phone and said hey look i cant drink right now im screwing my girlfriend or doing a line of coke what have you i would be fine .

I want to be mature and i also want to let him know he crossed a boundry

Whats a classy measured mature response to a "friend" blowing you off 2 times in a row

I"m pretty happy with the 15% tip, but i'm told 18% is the new 15. I'm just trying to figure out...is that because most people find it easier (tax is 6% in PA) to multiply the tax by 3....or its a new "proper" thing to do.

Cuz i can usually split a bill and pump out everyone's 15% tip in about 20 sec.
So if thats the reason for the 18%, i refuse to tip that.

You know, being kind and polite to people you pass on the street or in the grocery store? And saying please and thank you, or saying sorry when you bump into someone.

Do you say sorry when you accidentally bump into someone?

Do you greet someone or say hello when you walk into a small shop or wihle you are standing in line?

If so, how? It seems like calling the police hasn't worked for many people.

I've been dealing with mine for years and nothing has helped. The bass gets so loud sometimes that it causes my walls to vibrate and I could even hear it from the living room (the room that's farthest from them). I can't get others in my apartment to complain because I don't think it affects them as much, if at all.

My dad went to complain a long time ago but it obviously didn't do anything. Besides, I wouldn't want to deal with the discomfort of bumping into them afterwards. It already feels awkward enough knowing that we secretly don't like each other.

I'm afraid to talk to beautiful women b/c they seem almost superhuman to me.....I can't visualize stunningly gorgeous women pooping, farting, or doing both at the same time, and that, believe it or not, intimidates me. Any advice?

Just like me, I'm relatively new to this but I've already found that people ask questions that are screaming out for an obvious witty inuendo (e.g. Need help with breast feeding) only to find they're being serious. Where do they get off! How can I vent my low-brow sarcasm without offending anybody?

Ladies, would you like for me to clean your house and take care of other errands for you? I will do this for free, with nothing expected in return. All because I appreciate women.
