Hey,
Thanks for all of your input-s
Looking back and re-reading and re-thinking... i dont know if id say offensive is what it is...
Its more like... making bold statements over nothing or like im stating the obvious a little too obviously. (sarsasm?)
For example, if someone were to ask me a question... i wouldnt usually explain my answer and delve into a conversation with them about it (im a bit introverted and shy).
Id most likely give them a very brief answer first, then sorta let the conversation go from there.
I think i use the 'dry-ness' of my answers to throw them off and sorta let them know im not totally serious all the time. (probably a subconcious thing)...
E.g..
Colleague: "Hey Mark, are you excited about your new job??"
Mark: "excited beyond belief..."
or
My brother: "Do you like my new shirt?"
Mark: "Its un-believable..."
or
Mum: "Eating dinner at home tonite?"
Me: "Absolutely..."
So you can probably see how people might get an initial "WTF?" reaction...
People i know well enough seem to get it pretty well and know where im coming from, but my problem is that im scared to use that sorta stuff to people i dont know just coz i know it can be taken the wrong way sometimes.
(ive only just started to open up to people i work with and thats only because im leaving next weeK) for fear of them retorting with "Oh, well... fine... see ya later" sorta thing.
Am i making a big deal out of nothing?
