would you feel disappointed that the other party is seemingly trying to "ying4 chou2" you when he/she is obviously busy? shouldnt be too difficult to say "im busy. how about another day?" right?
what do you think should be the right way to interpret such an exchange of conversation?

hmm...is it quite obvious which is positive and which is negative?Originally posted by Yunhaier:THIS is the difference between positive and negative attitude. You can chose which preception you want to keep - bear in mind, regardless of how you think, your situations will still be the same. Think about which will do you better in the long run.
Cheers

knowing what happened between us and where i stand, i struggle to be positive between us. perhaps subconsciously, whenever anything, however small, happened us, my negative attitude never fails to knock my head and reminds me of reality...![]()
