Comment on Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you?
Buffalox@lemmy.world 8 months agoObviously it depends, you need to consider the work people have put into something, rudely saying you don’t like it is just that, rude.
If it’s overcooked, they probably know it already. No need to make that comment, unless you like being an asshole.

If they don’t ask, I don’t say anything. Asking and being mad about someone not lying to protect your feelings when they don’t praise your effort is rude.
For example, why is the person who knows something is overcooked asking how it is? If I take a bite and don’t eat it, then they ask why, they are being rude by putting me in a situation where the social expectation is to lie.

Exactly. I treat others as I want to be treated myself. This means that if I’m asking something I’m expecting an honest answer. If I don’t want to know I don’t ask.
