    Yeah, people ARE mostly dishonest. So much so that we need them to let us know when they are actually being honest.

    "How are you?” Someone who asks this question never wants a detailed or truthful answer or really anything more than “fine” or “good.” People answering the question feel obligated to say “fine,” even if they just got diagnosed with cancer

    I stopped the people around me from using that phrase by retorting: "It is? so what is it? And if 'it is what it is' than it should be what we needed or wanted so we wouldn't be saying 'it is what it is' like we missed it, can't explain it, or can't deal with it"... No one says that around me anymore..

    "That's so gay" is the phrase I really hate. If I hear someone say that I basically lose all respect for them.
    Also "cool story bro" really annoys me. If you don't care about what I just said, you don't need to be rude about it.
