people saying no to good things is so weird

i'd never say no to good things

though often people will use good things to lure you and mess with you. so I got trust issues from that (and deservedly so, because it still happens and that's largely how every ecosystem functions)

but I'd never say no to good things. and somehow people say no specifically if it's a truly good thing. wild

I like that they do, also. more for me I guess. then there's no competition. it's pretty chill

it's just hard to find the actual good things instead of those bait and switch

I want to find the people that fear truly good things. I want to hear what they rejected so I can get that thing instead 😁

    How can anyone know if something is truly a good thing?
    I'd argue that in the few moments most people only have to mull something over (as they've got to make a lot of decisions each day), they don't have enough data.
    Therefore it's a risk. Semi calculated, but a risk.
    And we've evolved to be risk adverse by nature because of manipulation.
    Plus what is good for you does !=== what is good for them at the time. They might not know it is good for them too.

    Too many variables to make generalised rule

    People can say no to good things because it can cost effort. I doubted to say no to my day of skiing today too because 3hr car ride. But I went. Saying no was easier, but I decided that I sit at home a bit too much. I love to sit at home alone coding more than almost anything else but skiing is ofc often more fun than that. If you don't join fun stuff with others, you will become literally alone, not by choice. There's a difference. Being alone is only fine if it's by choice, else it kinda blows I guess. It's like having friends you never see is better not having friends. Big difference mentally.

    I'd say it depends strongly on the supposedly good thing && the person offering it to you.

    I once drove to someone's house knowing all they wanted was to get gossip they could use against me because I knew there was cake involved.
