i have to say that indonesian people are judgmental. people infer what others say. they assume. probably that is the reason why most people are acting so (falsely) polite. we smile in front of others, we make excuses so that people think everything’s alright, so that noone’s (feelings) get hurt, or just to make a good impression. because if we don’t, if we don’t conceal our true feelings, sometimes people assume the worst of what you say, even though what you really mean is the other way around. what a way of thinking!

being an indonesian myself, i do that as well, although i try to think more positively. but hey, just by bitching about it means i’m being negative. hehe.. don’t care lah!
