However, as a British person that has spent time in the US, I’ve come to realise that Americans aren’t shy about small chat with strangers. What might feel awkward and overly familiar at home isn't perceived the way same in the US, and it took me a while to get used to it. Not the bore worms!

Like Britney did not ask for this person’s pity so to just assume you know her so well you can insert your pity like that is well intentioned but a bit intrusive and rude. you don't need to know someone to ask if they're okay, there's really no defending britney's reaction here mother, what must i do?

The ability to be friendly and neighborly with people you've never met There's a lot to hate about the US but there's some nice stuff too.

MOT 2,764 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Can people at least try to be factual about this ? There is no evidence that she told anyone to go f--k himself. In fact, she almost certainly didn't. She is posting what she is thinking about the incident, not reporting what she did. She hasn't named the guy, nobody knows who he is, he may not have known who she was, and he may never become aware of the post. The post is disturbing though. I wish her well.

How is asking someone if they're okay condescending or rude? When you see that someone is not well, it's not rude or condescending to ask them if they're okay, it's call being a decent human being.

Awakened M 3,016 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I can't tell if some of these comments about how showing kindness/empathy is rude/inappropriate are actually serious, which irks me. Like can we not joke about every single thing on this site? I'm not getting any sleep tonight because I woke up to a beautiful life. I'm awake.

They literally said “it’s gonna be okay” like it’s fine to just kind your p’s and q’s. They’re not Satan or something but I get why she felt it invasive when people are constantly prying into her life and have been for like 30 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
