Re: Unpopular opinions

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm under the belief that you can't learn to be a friendly person. You either are or you aren't. You can fake it with manners and politeness, but when you put someone who's faking it next to someone who is genuinely a friendly person it's like night and day.

Re: Unpopular opinions

Hmmm. I'm not too sure about this. I've met my share of people who put on a friendly, polite face at work, but have been some of the nastiest people you'll ever meet after their shift ends. One of which turned out to have sexually assaulted a woman, while another turned out to admit to (several times) trying to get some of her coworkers fired. Likewise, I've met some quiet folk who seem a bit awkward, but are really nice when I got a chance to chat with them.

This isn't even going into people who might have a bad day or had something devastating happen in their life that might make them less chipper than usual.

Re: Unpopular opinions

I agree with anon above that people who seem genuinely friendly and kind can turn out to be really nasty once you get to know them better, and awkward people can turn out to be great.

I also think it's possible to learn to be friendly. I was very unfriendly, closed-off and judgemental for years, partly as a way of coping with anxiety and partly because I wanted to seem or be smarter than other people. When I grew up a little and realized what I was doing, I learned to be friendly.

It took some time to make the transition, but it's not an act (any more than my unfriendliness was an act), it's just how I am now. But if you'd asked me when I was seventeen to stop being a cynical asshole to everyone, I would have said, "You can't change me, this is just how I am."
