[quote=Doivid] no it just sounds like you want them to act the way you want.if someone doesn't respond to/like some aspect of my humor attitude, I adjust it a little. Some people just are the way they are. [/quote] And... where on earth does it say I want them to change that for my sake? As I explicitly said, most of the people I'm closest to on this planet don't have that dynamic with me, and I'm pretty damn content with that. The only thing I said was that I sometimes have to not say certain things around them - which is "adjusting my humor a little", just as you said. Sorta fail to see why asking people if it affects their friendships with others means I want to bend people to act as I will them to.
