Is This How It’s Supposed to Be?
Just deal with it.
Let it go.
Don’t rock the boat.
I wondered at the origin of these philosophies.
The whole save face way of thinking.
I laughed at a meme about why quiet guys love fiery outspoken women.
Because how else is going to tell the waiter he forgot my mashed potatoes!
It’s fine.
I’ll just eat it like this.
I’m not an introvert, though I do have introverted moments.

Being with yourself.
But I don’t know if I send back food.
Or make a scene about it.

In traffic, I will roll down my window and instruct other drivers in their lineage, the proper placement of their head in orifices, and a dozen more “this might get me shot one day” types of outbursts.
Yet, in a relationship, in a restaurant, in a crowd, I more often than not just keep my mouth shut and adjust me.
Adjust my attitude.
I see it happen a lot. I’ve heard those first phrases a lot.
