Let people be picky on who they want to be with and who they don't want to be with. Most of all let them decide whether or not they want to listen to what you have to say. No one has to listen completely to what we have to say. It's not like what you are saying is a lecture for a math class that everyone has to take, so no one has to listen to anyone. I mean no one has to read this post either just like not listening.

And yes I understand we should listen to our boss and superiors, but still no one has to listen to other people. You don't have to listen to what everyone says and not everyone has to listen to what you say.

But yes you should do your homework for your math class even though you don't like it and endure the lecture that feels like it'll end when the rapture begins.

No one has to listen to us even if we have to listen to them.

As long as I remain someone who I wouldn't choose to hang out with, it's idiotic to get all butt-hurt when the rest of the world agrees with me. If I want other people to find me attractive, I have to be attractive; not demand that the universe cater to my needs.
It's entirely upon me to change; not you.

I never said that you had to demand that the universe should cater to your needs. And yes it is entirely up to you to change and not me.

I might be wrong, but I think Piobaire was actually agreeing with all you said and just put it in words differently. He's saying that if one doesn't get attention from the people they want, they should change themselves instead of demanding for others to change. Just like you said, no one has to listen to someone who wants to start a casual conversation. If the person really wants you to listen, it's their resbonsibility to explain the topic in a more interesting way or find another topic entirely that might interest you. I'm pretty sure that that's what he's saying and if I understood correctly you were saying the same thing.

And I agree, too.

As Fireblossom said; I was agreeing with you. I apologize; I often do not express myself with the clarity which I would wish.

I agree. Everyone have the same right to be picky and not listen. No one owes anyone anything.
Personal time is privilege.
