Huh a similar behavior exists in India where it is polite to say no the first time. However, it is definitely not part of every single social interaction. I have experienced this a lot when being offered food as a guest - my first few refusals are just ignored, as expected.
- mirajshah 6y agodefinitely exists in India to a large degree. I personally find it annoying that actual refusals don't carry much weight, because they are most often interpreted as rituals of politeness towards an eventual "yes". sometimes, I actually just want to say "no".
- lappet 6y agoYes, me too. Saying no to a persistent aunty is one of the hardest things on the planet.
