[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Midwesterner and I do think this is a Midwestern thing. For me at least, I was taught to not be nosy and wait for someone to offer information. I really try to ask the right questions without seeming like a busybody but I do worry about walking that line. [/quote] I'm from the west coast but my mom was from the midwest and I'm kind of like you. I figure if someone asks how I am and I give a superficial answer, it will come out if there's something nonsuperficial they want to share. If you're just going to give me a superficial answer, then what's the point? If I know you're going through something big (good or bad) then I might ask about it, especially if it's good, but generally I feel like I'm being nosy, or will be perceived that way, if I ask too many questions. I don't like being peppered with questions either. When I was trying to get pregnant I seriously regretted telling anyone because then I was frequently asked how it was going (not well!) and it was awful having to talk about it. [/quote]
