I think there's a difficult and fine line between trying too much and being a weirdo-awkward-creep. I could stop trying to be friendly and kind and respond appropriately to people at work, or I could stop giving a single about their views on me, eventually earning me a reputation of a total weirdo and getting me fired. I prefer staying employed and generally very well-liked.

I really hate it when people obviously intentionally keep repeating my name (life insurance and hard sell types), the last time it happened I pointed it out to them and told them they were doing it to demonstrate control of the situation making you feel like you are back in school dealing with a teacher, and that it was very off putting.

The irony is that Mitchell's character has the real people skills because he assertively tells it like it is and so actually helps the Webb-guy. Even though it's a bit confrontational, it's still said without rancour, with a cherry-on-top-agree-to-go-their-separate-ways ending.

I'm only really comfortable with hugs that I initiate. I've had 2 practically strangers in my life hug me and I froze completely. One was just unexpected (I think it was part of a dare or something). the other was a manager at a place I was volunteering at. I was having issues with her and to start over she gave me a hug and I wanted to say no but I couldn't choke it out and basically remained frozen and I was given the most uncomfortable and scary hug of my life... she wasn't scary. I just felt scared in the hug.

I think some people see it as 'charisma'. Maybe they're all aspiring to behave the same way, but haven't got the language down yet, so they look up to this person's 'confidence'. Then if you say "doesn't that person seem a bit fake to you?", everybody glares at you and thinks you're just jealous because that other person is so much better at people skills than you. So your only option when other people praise this individual is to agree and say "yes, they're so friendly and charasmatic!", just so you don't come across as bitter. Sigh.

Therefore ignorant people quoting ignorant people who either misunderstand a journal or quote something already debunked. Not at one point has the person thought "if this is important enough for me to insist on my position I should read the actual study and the peer reviews then link directly to them with supporting quotes which I should type out for the benefit of the people I am informing, as they may not be able to pay for the peer review and original artical access." No one does this as they dont have the spare money, time or inclination. The aduience they are debating with doesnt care to do that either or just ignores the proof favouring their own opinion (backfire effect) and everyone in the debate thinks they are smart enough to take part overestimating their own competence and the quality of the debate and debators. (Dunning Krugar Effect). This results in a distillation of two sides who argue with each other and have no merit. The two seperate groups go their own way. Both groups jerk themselves off for having the same opinion as everyone else in the group and start arguing with everyone they meet in person or online when the topic is raised. This is why some ignorant person posts online and tries to get likes from their social circle of likeminded friends. Resulting in sharing through the network and two uninformed opinions going viral. People start arguing over these positions, nothing but social unrest forms, the issue is never resolved. Except in the accademic text which everyone ignores when its actually pointed out, as the discenting view is always quoted when it favours the opinion of the unimportant prat who is arguing for the oposit of reality and finds disgruntled people to agree with them.
