This baffles me. I find it to be nothing short of fakeness and trying to prove a point. But those around me seem to disagree. So am I the wrong who needs to reassess? While I\u2019d hate to find myself wrong, maybe social decorum is something I need to work on. If someone invites you to something, you have to invite them back. And right away. There are rules for acting essentially \u201csocially responsible.\u201d You have to be nice to those around you, even if you\u2019d rather fling food in their hair. That\u2019s probably a dramatic reaction, but maybe I am just dramatic? Anyway\u2026 I\u2019ve learned recently that I can\u2019t be honest at all times. I have to invite those who invite me. It\u2019s social decorum. While it\u2019s annoying (and I still find it to be fake), I must do it to retain relationships. If you\u2019re like me, just do the social decorum thing. Be the person your dog thinks you are. That\u2019s all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
