[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend and every time I am at her home she is non stop asking if I want food, drinks, etc. I say no thanks but she keeps offering until I finally say "yes I'll have a piece of watermelon". [/quote] It is not rude to decline food/drinks, though of course it's all in how you say it. If this is a close friend of yours and you feel comfortable bringing it up, you can ask her if she feels uncomfortable when you aren't eating/drinking anything. My mother is like this. I think it is because she is excitable and anxious and a people pleaser. She thinks making people comfortable involves serving them. She doesn't realize that she in fact is making people uneasy with her servile behavior and that people would be much more comfortable if she could sit down, relax, and just BE with them.[/quote]
