[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people now are just expecting nasty judgment.  People would be happier if they assumed everyone has good intentions.  I think most people don’t really care that much what other people do — they are just trying to make conversation and seem interested in someone’s life.  So they ask questions like “where do you work?”  “What did you do for vacation this summer?” “What are you thinking about for college?” “Do you do any extracurriculars in HS?” “Are you dating anyone?”  For most people, they aren’t looking for a reason to judge you, they are just trying to get to know you and to have something to talk about other than the weather.  Unless you family is just generally nasty, I’m sure they don’t mean anything by this.  And if they are just generally nasty, then don’t hang out with them.[/quote]

This is something I have to remind myself of a lot as I tend to be overly sensitive and read way too much into what is generally just basic small talk.[/quote]
