"I'm Alright" ....................

Anyone else ever finding themselves replying that to people who ask "how are you?" most lamest of informal salutations .

they look at you like you're a robot. BUT you have built up security walls.

I've been surrounded by inmates most of my adult life. I've come to the conclusion that I can have a better random conversation with any form of inmate than I can with any random person I run into .. unless I already know them.

Defense mech goes way up with strangers no matter where Im at. I'm more comfortable talking to robbers/murderers than I am talking to someone in a grocery store. I think its because I know where the former is coming from.

maybe I am on crack.

The unknown is always harder to deal with than the known, for the simple reason it's unknown.

**Helen Keller** · 10-06-2016, 09:19 PM

That's an unknown unknown.

parking lot outside target today I saw white folk with neck tattoos . had my bodyguard 38 on my hip , but my alert went on. White people with neck tats are always up to nothin good.

It is a mindless greeting people say it and don't even expect an answer. Say something like "The very best" or "just fantastic" the next time and watch their expression.

yea fuck neck tats. Was in the coin shop couple days ago and a guy came in with tattoos on his neck and face. I immediately left. Gave me a feeling like the place was about to get robbed.

no

those places are a last resort. my grey water is all messed up currently due to the massive amount of rain we got. i do my laundry at my parents for now, dry it at my house.

i feel like a scrub asking them for anything . But I make up for it.

have a freind who always says teh same thing. hes a cop, he says his wife wants him to do shit with her all the time but hes uncomfortable being around "normal" people. he spends all his time dealing with shit bags and feels more comfortable as such.

When asked how I am about a third of the time I say "Adequate". This almost always gets a good response from people and breaks the ice for at least a quick conversation. Even if I don't get a quick conversation I almost always get a smile, after what the word adequate means processes!

**NAPOTS** · 10-07-2016, 08:00 AM

It takes energy to converse with people. With a random stranger you will never see again it might not be worth it that day. I am also a private person so I may consider how I am doing none of a strangers business at that given moment.

Yes, white folk with neck and hand tattoos are usually pieces of shit, especially if the tattoos are heavy lines with a green tint to the ink.

Last one I say around here it was a big swastika on the guys neck.

Being polite was the way I was raised. So when someone ask me I mostly say "I am fine maam/sir and how are you? and if they say they are ok I say "glad to hear it."
But that is me.

Some of my best friends have neck and hand tattoos and do their laundry at the laundromat. That just comes with the territory when you hate normies and reject the status quo.

I tell people when things suck and if it makes them uncomfortable then fuck them for asking.
