Is it just me or are people getting excruciatingly vague?

Like you ask a yes/no or this/that question and they say, "I'm good"... I feel like I'm going insane trying to translate people.

I’m good means no. It’s basically saying I’m fine as I am.

@MarbleMarvel I would translate that as you’re fine as you are and nothing needs to change. 😌

MarbleMarvel

@Reject It would make so much sense to say, "do this/that..." It feels kinda disrespectful to have to decode lazy talk.

Reject · 26-30, M

@MarbleMarvel Yeah, to be honest I haven’t heart a boss speak like that. Mostly just my friends or coworkers in casual conversation.

Can absolutely relate.

“How’ve you been?”
“Good”
“What are you up to?”
“Nothing”

etc…

My husband is a terrible communicator via text. I will ask him a multiple answer question, such as, do you want x y or z, to which he will answer yes.

Maybe they don’t want to talk about their situation if you are asking how they are doing.

MarbleMarvel

@cherokeepatti that's not the type of question I'm asking them

icedsky · 51-55, M

Maybe

I had a grilled cheese for lunch.

exchrist · 31-35

Ive noticed that in public settings. It seems the presidential eesponse of "no comment" somehow became default? America is about to "default"? Idk its irritating.

MarbleMarvel

@exchrist it feels a lil disrespectful tbh. Like I am trying to understand you, but I guess it's so rare, people just adjusted.

Bleh

TurtlePink · 22-25, F

Can you give an example? is it something like this?:

You: “Do you like pizza?”

Them: “I’m good”

Yeah, that’s extremely weird lol

MarbleMarvel

@TurtlePink Yes!

At work I can ask my boss:

Do you want me to move sections now that the next shift is in or stay where I am?

Him:

You're good.

What does that mean?? Lol

DunningKruger · 61-69, M

Really? Uh-huh. And how does that make you feel?

MyNameIsHurl · 41-45, F

Not that I've noticed

SmoKin · M

Mmmm…well..oh look! Butterflies!🦋
*drifts off*

Magenta · F

Vague is the nice word for it.

SinlessOnslaught · M

I ask how are you and you don't say nothing 😭

Musicman · 61-69, MVIP

Yep! I completely understand. ☹

Pambie · 22-25, FNew

What do you mean? Could you clarify, be more specific? You're too vague.

MarbleMarvel

@Pambie and clearly you have no interest in being subtle

Pambie · 22-25, FNew

@MarbleMarvel 😂

@MarbleMarvel there's just a lot of trauma out there

MarbleMarvel

@caccoon I don't know how to protect myself and remain vulnerable enough to help. I don't have that balance.

caccoon · 36-40

@MarbleMarvel is it your son?

GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M

People cannot be transliterated, as they are enigmas even until themselves.

What is a man but miserable pile of secrets?

MarbleMarvel

@GeistInTheMachine I guess if that's all he thinks of himself, that's all he is.

Zaphod42 · 51-55, M

Dragonflies aren’t actually dragons, or even related 😶

Roundandroundwego · 61-69

To contextualize and to refer to the world is called "materialism". You aren't allowed that as war tools of fascists who own the West. You Never contextualize, or you are the enemy!

MarbleMarvel

@Roundandroundwego I should of blocked you a long time ago.

JackOatMon · 46-50, M

Yes
