Here's the situation. I'm really always on the verge of running out of stuff to write, and to stave off these moments, I write a little bit about myself that maybe you, the reader, is unaware of. Today I'm going to look at a few common things that I say to a lot of people that may have odd meanings attached to them.
1) I ain't gon lie.
That was just a joke that I started using too much that it became part of my speech. It basically means I'm being dead serious, so you better believe me or else you're going to look like a fool ignoring the best advice on the planet (ok... maybe not that severe).
2) Too bad!
This probably deals with the way I look at life. Obviously once something passes it passes, it's over. There's no more changing it. But sometimes people analyze what they did wrong in a certain situation and wonder what could have been done differently. I counter by saying "Too bad!", meaning that it happened, and that's that. No point trying to change it now.
3) Really?
This could have 2 meanings, and it totally depends on how I say it. If you hear this in a sincere fashion, that means I'm interested and want to know more. If you hear this in a sarcastic tone (this is way more likely), that means I believe you're being incredibly stupid (sorry for the bluntness) yet am amused enough that I probably like you more for saying it.
4) Maybe
Another two way thing (possibly three way, but the third way is so rare that there's no point in counting it). First one is obviously I really don't know what decision to make so I say maybe. The second is "I really don't want this situation to happen so I'm going to say maybe until the event passes, thus completely circumventing the need to say no". The third, rare case, is... yeah there is no third case is there...
5) Hmm...
You just said something interesting that I like. Unfortunately for you, I'm in no mood to think about it. So I say hmm..., you start thinking about something else, and I go back to thinking about whatever it is that goes on in my head (BTW side point here... I think I'm becoming steadily weirder... Maybe not talking to anyone on a daily basis is causing it... I don't know and will update if I ever manage to find out...). At least you interested me...
6) Well...
I'm about to agree with you, but I want to add my own opinion because I feel like this is how a conversation is supposed to go (Another side point. This really illustrates why I have poor social connections. I just don't understand how this stuff is supposed to play out, and it really is my own fault, but I don't plan on fixing it.). Or I just completely disagree with you and here's why... Either way... I suck at conversations so... it's time to end this. Maybe more gets put in later. :)
