you don't need to "put up" with a sad person, just leave us alone and we will not say or do anything. Don't bug us, it makes us mad.

Most people who aren't assholes won't press the issue if you say "I don't want to talk about it", and it's better to say than "nothing" because that invites further inquiry. And Ruki meant put up with the bugging people, not sad people.

Was that directed to me?

It still applies to me, sad or buggy.

I don't know, I can't understand a word of it and it might have just been really horrible Spanish hiphop, but dear lord, whatever it was I hate it.

Welcome to my world, Wock.

No, it was to Partymember, since he misconstrued the meaning of Ruki's post.

I believe Rukift meant that it bugs him when he sees someone mopey and he asks "whats wrong" and they say "nothing" when clearly something is wrong. Correct?

what does "put up with the bugging people" mean? I wasn't being aggressive, just trying to point out that it is just as annoying for people to ask you whats wrong over and over. Would you rather say, "my girlfriend left, i'm hungover, and my left arm is numb." or say, "nothing"?? Really, think about it.

I'd go with "nothing".

exactly

I always act happy even if I'm really upset, because I hate peoples' bleeding, overdone nosiness. If I don't talk about it, I don't want to talk about it.

Also, Piglet sucks.

I don't know why, but that made me laugh.

Oh, and while we're still on the subject of sad or upset-looking people, what really ticks me off is when people come up to me and say, "What's the matter?" or "Why are you sad?" Seriously, I'm NOT sad. It's not my fault that I either have a poker face or a perpetual frown. IT'S JUST THE WAY I LOOK. Do I have to be grinning eerily from ear to ear before people think I'm not sad? I sure hope not because smiling makes my mouth hurt.

BTW Partymember, Ruki's a girl.
