Correct. Likewise, being a contrarian does not make an untruth any more true. If someone has headphones on, it's a clear signal they don't want to talk to you. What is the problem with respecting that person?
- kbelder 2y agoPerhaps they are listening to music, but would still be willing to pause that to converse? It's not that crazy of an idea.
- ath3nd 2y agoPerhaps yes, but perhaps a social indicator that I am doing something and have requested not being bothered, should be enough to discourage the people who just can't wait to ask you questions and converse with you. In that, extroverts are like little children: pay attention to me, pay attention to me, I have something so important to tell you that can't wait, and I don't care what you are doing at the moment, attention needs to be on ME. NOW I'd say, let's normalize scolding people who ignore obvious social cues and bother you uninvited. How about that?
