lonesomedwarf posted:i usually say "no worries" or if they say "havea good day" i'll say "you too" I reflexively say "no worries" to people to make them feel better when there are indeed worries. It's a short way to say "I'll fix it myself".

I generally just use "You're welcome  " in most cases. I use "No Problem" as well, probably a bit more than the other reply honestly. It took me nearly 2 years to change from "See ya" as a default goodbye message on phone calls to "Later" or "Ok peace", but then I got my poo poo together and settled on "Have a good one " or "Yep! Take it easy. " and its all been gravyInflection is key, which is why I used the smilies. If you dont come off as generally friendly, you've gotta work on your mannerisms and poo poo and thats a WHOLE other can of worms!

I hate it when people ask you "How you doing?" and if you say "Okay" they are like "Just okay?"

Trixie Hardcore posted:I hate it when people ask you "How you doing?" and if you say "Okay" they are like "Just okay?" Sort of similar, but I hate "Its going" as a reply to "How's it going?", above all. Because then I'm forced into either "Heh I hear ya" or just nodding solemnly.

I live in the south where people are generally friendlier and I'm really friendly & smiley even by southern standards and sometimes I can tell it weirds people out. Like smiling & making eye contact with someone is a level of human interaction they are not prepared for. e: I also will say "thank you" in response to someone else saying "thank you" even though there's nothing for me to thank them for & I am aware that it makes me look like a goober but I can't seem to stop.

Like smiling & making eye contact with someone is a level of human interaction they are not prepared for. I had an ex who was genuinely SHOCKED that when she'd wave to people upon using a 1-way bridge, they'd reply with a wave and smile. Those old bridges are common around here, due to being historic bridges and thus not really eligible for widening to two lanes. One party waits and waves the other over or vice versa, and the other comes on by and offers a smile and brief wave generally. Just a little thing people do out of courtesy. I cant imagine something that basic being totally alien to someone to the extent where they'd not only note it, but be surprised by it outright.

"How's it going?" "Another day in paradise." "Need anything else?" "The key to happiness." "See you later!" "Death is certain."

The standard responses to thank you almost all share the same prosody, alternating between non-stressed and stressed syllables, opening on a non-stressed. This arguably creates the perlocutionary force that reciprocates the expression of thankfulness which IIRC typically opens on a stressed syllable. So w/e.

Please explain why "you're welcome" is bad, in non-autistic terms. Thanks in advance.

"so honored to have been able to serve you, sir." honestly "you're welcome" is the autistic option here, because it's something you say when you can't understand context or nuance and you just do what you're told when you were 4

when people respond to "hi how are you?" With anything other than " not bad, you?" it's like, what the gently caress are you doing?! That's not how this works!

Youruh huhcum Whenever someone tells me "Thank you!" I spend five minutes ranting about how much of a horrible human being I am and why I never deserve any praise or thanks for managing not to gently caress up one miserable thing in my life. Then they say "You're welcome!" and I start beating them with the nearest blunt object. When people say "Uh huh" I sneeze violently precisely three times. Luckily I don't have text-to-speech on or I'd be sneezing to this thread.
