I dunno, @YCLYHO. I kind of see a few issues with it, the worst being that, if you say anything to them, you’ve probably lost them forever. I think there are an awful lot of bad stuff in the world. If somebody is putting forth that much effort to be NICE, I look the other way. It could be ANYTHING that is causing it.
They may be in the middle of a personal epiphany, having to reassess what they thought they knew. Or in a new environment, or emotionally fragile at the time, or it could be that the person is trying not to offend whomever they’re with at the time. Do you show the same face to your grandmother as you do your gal pals on $1 Shit night at the dance club? That kind of thing. Or, you could just flat-out have it wrong. You don’t know unless you ask (nicely).
For instance, when I first met NUNYA, she drove me nuts. How many fucking exclamation points and excitement can a person realistically ooze from a damn comment? She just COULDN’T be for real. But I was SO WRONG! Nunya, like 90% of the population, is NOT the same on the phone as she is when she writes. Most people aren’t. But she was never fake. She was different in different environments, and that is all.
