      I take it you don’t acknowledge people doing polite things for you because you don’t owe them anything? Do you not appreciate when someone’s polite to you?

        Are you being polite to actually help?
        Or because you want a head pat?

        From my upbringing I’ve learned to stay far away from the latter.

        Editing to add context: When it comes to unhoused outreach the people in it for acknowledgement often become liabilities.

          I guess it’s some sort of moral hurdle someone needs to pass when they do nice things for you and you don’t acknowledge them.

            I personally do acknowledge them.

            I just think that you shouldn’t do it for the acknowledgement.

      Quit being over analytical nerds. It’s a common courtesy to acknowledge someone doing something nice for you, and it’s totally normal to feel disappointed when that breaks down

            Ok fine let’s take it as close the door in front of their face, and not literally smack them in the face with the door.

            It’s still eyebrow raising imo to get that worked up.

              If not acknowledging someone holding the door for you is not a big deal why should closing the door be?

              No doubt you’re a redditor. Let me guess, you’re probably one of those people who just wished to ‘be left alone’ by everyone when they’re just being polite to you and exercising the basic norms of the social contract? .

                My account sits dormant since they banned the sub.

                Why does it bother you so much to not get guaranteed validation?

                  Why does it bother you so much to validate people who are being nice to you, and why does it bother you they’re disappointed when you don’t?
