I love when people ask for my opinion and then they get annoyed with me when I don’t say what they expected me to say (ie: agree with them) 🤣 Don’t ask if you don’t genuinely want my opinion.
@engineering_bae You are a good "jeans" friend. It's my favorite kind of person. The ones you could take shopping for jeans and they would tell you "those are not your jeans - they make you look bad because of X"...and they are exactly who you trust because they'll tell you the truth.
@engineering_bae I think a lot of people ask for opinions the way you ask a department store clerk for a few shirts to try on. They’re just shopping for something that fits.
Howdy folks....Poindexter is not a yes-woman. If you want her opinion, ask for it. If you don't, don't ask for it. I want to trust someone enough that they can give it to me real, and that isn't going to change our friendship. Like to me, THAT honest feedback or civil discourse is what is supposed to happen. "Agreement Hunters" are the worst, because it's limiting their scope, not extending it. Sigh. PS: you're amazing.
@engineering_bae Such people don't want your opinion; they only want your validation.
