I guess that a lot of people's bizarre social behavior can be attributed to the way that they were raised and how they're expected to react in social situations. Unfortunately, a lot of people tend to be hypocrites. It's OK for them to lie about things and justify it by saying they're just being polite, or trying to avoid any unpleasantness, or a potential fight, but when you react in the same way, you can be judged by them unfairly, ugh!
It's called social "graces" which is ironic since it seems more anti-social and rude in nature than anything else. One time a former friend told me that this friend of hers invited her to Thanksgiving dinner knowing that she was alone and had nowhere else to go. So of course my friend said yes. The woman who invited my friend then had this angry and surprised look on her face. WTH? LOL! I guess that she didn't anticipate a yes answer! I hate it when people fake being polite too. It's really stupid and the truth comes out sooner or later when they say they'll call or email you and then they never ever do. I hate people like that I no longer waste my time on liars like that who can't be honest. If you don't like someone, just ignore them and don't say stuff that you don't mean.
