Poll: Do you hate it when someone you've just met talks to you like they've known you for your whole life?

Question

do you hate it when someone youve just met talks to you like theyve known you your whole life, For example, the first time i met my dads girlfriend she was like "Oh hello matthew, hows you?, hows your mum?, hows your brothers?, hows your life?".

Do you hate it when people do that?

Thanks

Answer 1

its annoying sometimes, depends on who it is. its more annoying when someone you know well acts like they hardly know you though

Answer 2

only if they probe that much. people have to speak to people theyve never met casually to break the ice.

Answer 3

Wow. That is really harsh. I'm sure that she's just being friendly. Why are you taking it so seriously? What do you want her to do? I can see that it can take you a bit aback because clearly this person isn't respecting your personal space. I think that may get at the heart of the matter. She's invading your space and you haven't invited her in. You sound young. I have come to appreciate more people like this because it's refreshing. People aren't as friendly these days. Everyone is in a hurry or in their own world.

edit: I bet she was nervous. Sometimes you might find it helpful to try to see things from the other person's perspective. It will help you in dealing with it in a healthier manner. I'm a stepmom. I try to be sensitive to my stepkids but it's hard. It's not like there's a manual. I've read a book on the subject and sought some advice.

Not really because usually, they are just trying to be friendly.  However, I HATE it when I meet people who are bothered by everything.

I'm not kidding, I'm serious.  Sorry.
