    Only to not give away how happy I was about something and not have others spoil it, intentionally or non intentionally. There are those who can F up a wet dream. This post was edited by O-uknow at February 23, 2017 10:44 PM MST

    I could never pretend something like that.

  • No, I'm not very good at feigning emotions. I can feign interest, but sadness would be especially hard to feign.

  • Dear Randy D,

    Yes, I can do drama when I want to make a point...last time I did that however, it was not sadness it was more anger/outrage...

    I was at the hotel last month, and the clerk came to my door quite rudely, her mistake.
    Because then I went down into the lobby (where as many people as possible could hear) and exclaimed in umbrage, "Is this how you treat old people?"

    Then when they opened their computers for my room rental, I went and sat down.
    "Please come and finish your transaction."
    "Okay, I'm coming." (Continued to sit there.)
    Repeated their demand several times, "Come here, finish this."
    "I am coming, but now I have to rest a bit, I have stress-related illness." (I was lying.)

    Finally they sent someone over who was VERY gracious, treated me well, and only then did I allow them to finish my transaction and move on.

    * * *
    I don't know if my drama made any difference for future customers, but I did all I could.

  • I don't have to pretend. I'm a pretty sad cookie most of the time.

    Only when you broke up with me. I thought it was the right thing to do.

    Just don't look in your silverware drawer with the expectation to find anything in it.

  • Nope. I don't want to pretend to be miserable.

  • There's plenty of reasons around to be sad without having to pretend.

    I'm not always the best at showing sadness. So yeah, I've faked looking sad at times, to avoid looking like an asshole. :P
