Wait.. are we not supposed to say that?

I'm with you. I don't give a fuck what other people think. If I hate something I'd rather just say it instead of lying about it.

Tbh I didn't even realize that it could be considered socially unacceptable haha :3

It's rather blunt. And could be interpreted as a slight against their plans?

I think my brain was just doing an autism™ before I saw this and figured why :3.. no one really said anything if I said "oh I'd hate that, cause loud sounds are overwhelming" or some other thing like that heh

Yeah, the sentiment is fine. "I don't think I would enjoy that, but thanks for the invite" would go over a lot better with people.

In Seattle you're supposed to say multiple times that you'll totally do the thing, and also make a bunch of other vague plans at the same time, and repeatedly assure each other you're going to break Seattle's ghosting trend and you really mean it, then don't talk to or see them again for four months but when you do start the process over again

I hate it and I hate how people are proud of it

My culture is an entire city full of people who need to be adopted by an extrovert

Standard response in the Netherlands, they are a direct bunch.

Seems like normal, healthy behaviour.

Actually literally me when my freinds invited me to go running with them.
