One of the options I didn't put was something like 'Carry on mixing me, huffing a lot and being resentful at me.' I know that some people that I don't like and am forced to mix with *really* try my patience sometimes, and I am not always capable of politeness. It is all I can do to avoid flying into a rage sometimes! (Still waiting for therapy.)
I handle rejection very badly. That being said, I still prefer the truth. I cannot handle dishonesty. Being lied to (especially being told something when it's obvious that something else is the case) really winds me up. If someone is obviously unhappy with me/doesn't like me, then I really want to know so I can start the process of dealing with the abandonment/rejection. It's horrible feeling one way and being told something else because I'm never quite sure how to act and end up feeling like I'm in limbo.
When writing this poll I was thinking of both sides of the equation. The poll isn't about anyone in particular. I was inspired to write it after reading someone's LJ post about someone who the writer doesn't like but is forced to mix with.
The not-taking-hints and not-handling-rejection-well are things that really need to be considered; it's hard when someone has a mixture of those things going on!!
I don't know you very well yet. I would like to get to know you better when you have more time and the spoons.
