Obey the Script!

There are times that I am guilty of wanting people to just blindly abide by social scripts. i.e. I want them to say what I think they should say. Case in point: I just said (in a moment of insecurity), "sorry, I'm talking at you." Now, the reason I said that is because I sensed disinterest, and I have a bad habit of addressing things like that in passive-aggressive ways, I guess. But the person to whom I was speaking said nothing in return. I thought to myself, 'you were supposed to say something like, 'no, that's fine' or 'no, you're not.' So, the fact that she didn't reassure me that I was not talking at her when she was uninterested was a verification to me that she was, in fact, not interested. So, I will try to not speak until spoken to because that's what good little girls do, right? On another note, I feel stupid for getting a haircut that no one seems to like. I'm not sure how much I like it either. No matter what, it needed to get cut, so it's not a waste or anything, but maybe I should have gone for what I usually get. Oh well, it's nice to have a change; I really just wanted it cut enough that I can start wearing my hats again--they don't work over ponytails.
