Why We Say "Nothing Is Wrong"

We have a habit of not telling people what's wrong with us. Why?

Why We Say "Nothing Is Wrong"
http://keywordsuggest.org/gallery/534927.html

When our significant others ask what's wrong, we tend to say, "nothing." Ladies and Gentlemen, if you can't figure out why and feel your significant other won't give you an actual response, I've used this forum to list a few reasons why:

1. Nothing is wrong

Sometimes, there really is nothing wrong. We're human! We get moody too! There may not be anything wrong at all, it just comes across that way. If this is the case, just leave them alone and give space. Although it can take some time, be patient. They'll be back to normal before you know it.

2. They don't want to talk about it at that moment

I'm guilty of letting my feelings bottle up inside and I know I can't be the only one. When something is bothering them and they really don't want to talk, don't expect an answer. If it's important enough, they'll eventually talk to you about it. You may have caught them at the wrong time... it happens.

3. They think you already know

They occasionally say nothing when they think you already know what's bothering them. If you did or said something undeniably stupid, they believe you should realize and make note of that. They think you should know what you did to upset them. In this case, take a step back, think about the events that occurred throughout the day. If you think of something that you did that may have pissed them off, odds are that it's what is bothering them.

4. They just want to forget about it

Not often, but sometimes, they just want to drop it altogether. They want to forget about it and move on without talking about it first. It may not be the healthiest way to handle things, but it happens. Your best bet here is to just let it go.

5. They're waiting to explode (...in this case, RUN!)

Tick, Tock. This is the point where time is running out for you to figure out what you did. If you're really in the doghouse and they won't budge, you may have done something to seriously upset them. Be careful what you say. They're just waiting for you to say something dumb so they can finally rip you a new one. In this case, there are two options: 1) Get down on your knees, apologize and beg for forgiveness or 2) RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA EXPLODE AND ALL OF THAT BOTTLED UP ANGER IS GONNA COME OUT!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
