Why is there a need to say so much when a single word is able to explain everything?
When in doubt, just call.

He is never one who is comfortable about expressing his thoughts and feelings. For him, yes means yes, and no means no, don't have to elaborate. Yes means ok.positive. no means, not ok. negative. Things are that straight forward to him. or is not? This probably doesn't represent the entire male population, because that came from Chong. I was discussing with him how much I loath one-word answers, or one liners. I always think people who give these irritating replies are people who cannot be bothered and couldn't care less about you. They don't care enough to want to type in full sentences, or to explain or elaborate. These one-word or one liner replies contain alot of meanings in them. I was trying to explain that they could be a means of showing anger, annoyance, or just a total lack of consideration. Well, turns out that the meanings encoded could be this simple: if one word is enough to convey a message, why is there a need to type in more? whether one is angry, frustrated, moody, or does not care abt the person receiving the message, as long as the message is conveyed, nothing else matters. fullstop. that is Chong for you.

I still loathe one word replies. I used to make it a point not to do precisely the things that I dislike in others. But because I feel no one seems to feel mutually about it, I desensitised myself from it. The result is then to do unto others what I would not want others to do to me. It contradicts. But it always feels better when you let your feelings go abit and not be too concerned or emotional about things.

I will always remember what this person said:
don't care. heck care. fuck care.

If it makes one feel better, then why not?
