When someone says they're Spanish...?
Where do you think they are from? I'm Spanish (half, German the other half) & when I tell people they think I'm Mexican because they don't understand the difference I guess. I'm not racest or anything but I get offended when people think I'm Mexican. My family is from Spain not Mexico. And I realize that many Mexicans look like the Spanish but most are darker & have very different facial features. I have white skin, black hair & brown eyes, I still look Latin but also very white European. I'm proud to be Spanish & I just don't like it when people think I'm Mexican because I just don't look like a Mexican. I just feel that I shouldn't have to explain this to people when the place of origin is in the actual word "Spanish." I just hate how stupid so many Americans can be. When I was in Spain they knew where I was from when I said New Mexico "oh the USA!" But when I was in Tennessee & told someone there I was from New Mexico they thought I was from Mexico. I mean for people on the other side of the world to know it is a state and an American doesn't even know that... disgusting.
When someone says they are old, what should I say?
Here are some classics:If:Younger than you - "Wait till you get to be my age."Same age - "You and me both."Older but in good shape - "I just hope I look as good as you when I get to be your age.Showing their age - "You're not getting older, you're getting wiser/better."As the others suggest, a nod is sufficient as well.
How should you react when someone says they just want to be friends?
Depends on “Who is asking”.If its someone with whom u once had a pretty good conversation or have seen in ur daily life and u know he/she is your “friendlist-type", You can go ahead and try being friends with them. Making new friends is not an issue when your intuition says “Its okay".For example, saying “Ya sure. You are really a nice person to be friends with.” …. sounds perfect for this situation.If the person seems to have some second thoughts while asking you, better make a clear indication that u are least interested in being a friend with him/her. Not a rude answer, choose a diplomatic answer to sound polite.(Be rude to who has intentions of teasing you.)Say confidently, “Sorry, I am not a person who is comfortable in making friends so sooner or with a stranger. No offence I am just being honest.” One Smile. And Thats it!If the person is someone special for you, and you want to be more than friends with him/her, start with their so-called ^Just friendship^. Know them well before you fall for them for a deeper relationship. Having a crush and going into a relationship are two different sides of a coin. So Yes you can be just friends with ur crush and it ain't a bad idea.Say- “I would love to be friends with you. So are we starting from today?” Wink. And Laugh. Enough to let him/her know You are into them but not desperate.If its some other situation, let me know in the reply.
What do I say when someone says they feel lonely?
Well, don’t ask questions or make suggestions like going for a walk. It’s a very delicate situation and everyone says the same thing to lonely people. Ask them why they feel that way. It’s not a nice feeling. Do they miss what they used to have or would they like to be included in more social activities. There’s no quick fix for loneliness unless you are lucky. It depends on their personality. Some people don’t know what they want. Everyone suggests voluntary work or joining groups! This isn’t for everyone. Is there anything they enjoy doing. Suggest taking them for a coffee and chat. Its important to make them feel wanted and with a sense of belonging. You don’t have to get involved every time but get them talking and find out the underlying causes for this lonely feeling. Go with them, not against them. Some people are good at taking themselves out and about, others, not so much. It depends on the person, their age and circumstances. I would say, I don’t know you very well, so would you like to tell me more about yourself, and how you got to feel lonely? Take it from there. If I can help you, I will do. I’m happy to listen. Gauge if they have a sense of humour to find out if romance is on their list, or whether they are in a family who make them feel lonely. It’s all about getting information from them before you can know what’s going on. They don’t always want advice or suggestions, bear that in mind, sometimes they just want to talk to someone about how they feel. We are all different though. You can suggest a dating site to some people and they would be delighted, others would be horrified. It’s more about listening, and feedback that you are interested. You need boundaries too, if you don’t want to be too involved. You might spare some of your time on this occasion, but don’t necessarily want it to become a habit forming conversation. Guage it, use common sense and diplomacy. Leave them feeling better than when you met them. You could even just relate an experience which has happened to you in a similar situation. A lady once said to me that she went to a fortune teller and what she told her, or you could mention someone you know who is feeling the same way, so he/she is not alone. If they are religious, you can mention prayers, angels , God etc to ask for comfort and guidance. And somewhere along the line, make sure they are not suicidal and crying out for help.

What does it mean when someone says they are an empath?
It means they are a self obsessed individual who is trying to appear special. They are also highly likely to be delusional and have difficulty distinguishing sci fi fantasy from reality. The whole idea of so called empaths is codswallop.Someone who is exceptionally empathetic would not have to tell you and definitely would not describe themselves as an empath.
How does it feel when someone says "I love you"?
Peaceful.Well, I think it’s different for everyone, and it’s also different every time, depending on the context. So this is referring to the most significant time someone told me those three words: “I love you”My family aren’t really the ones for mushy feelings. So hearing the words “I love you” once every two years was crazy. Until I met one of my best friends. We looked out for each other and she’d text me her moral dilemma and I’d help her out. She’d always reply “THANK YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!” and it really warmed my heart every time to know that I’d helped. However, this wasn’t the most significant.This friend of mine was helping me to get a leavers dinner date in year 10. It took us about half a year to find a boy that actually wanted to go with a girl and wouldn’t mind that girl being me. I thanked her so much for helping me out.We were only going as friends but I needed to communicate with him in order to make sure our outfits matched. So, I got Facebook for the first time. We ended up texting every day, as friends, for about a month. We knew we liked each other, we couldn’t stop talking and having to do so would feel wrong. Unfortunately, we could not, for the life of us, talk to each other in person. We were both the two most awkward humans on the planet. So we came to the conclusion, together, that it wouldn’t work.About a week later, I couldn’t live like that anymore. So, after we said goodnight, I sent a message saying “I’m going to regret saying this, but…” then another saying “I love you.”I was expecting a reply like, “I know Susan, but it won’t work.” but what I got was “I love you too.” So, technically it wasn’t “I love you,” but, it was the most peaceful feeling I’d felt in my life. No longer having to worry about how he feels because now I can just know.This “I love you” was the beginning of a private relationship which took about two weeks to become public, and a month to tell my parents. He was my first real boyfriend and I was a little unsure how it would go, but since then we can talk to each other with zero problems, rely upon each other for all the support we need, and give a hug or two right when they’re needed. This has been going on for about a year and two months, and now we know we want to be married. We couldn’t live without each other, and we already struggle over the holidays when we’re not at school together. He is my fiance, but only we know it, as well as some strangers on social media now.
What do you say when someone says "I have a question"?
Okay this girl just texted me. I have no idea how she got my number or anything. We're not really friends but she's with my ex. We're acquaintances I guess. She said "Hey Keralyn! It's Tori. I have a question :)" What should I say? I don't mind answering her question but i don't really wanna just say "Okay...?"
How do you respond back when someone says they are happy for you?
If someone says that to you that shows how magnanimous or selfless they are reflecting at that time. So, it would be nice to say one of the following:'I am glad to listen to this’'You are really being extremely nice, thank you.’'You motivate me to do better' (say this to someone close to you)‘This encourages me''Well that makes me happy too''You are so kind. Loved to be in contact with a person like you.’But, in another context for example if you had a break up or your friendship has ended some while ago and you met the other person and they say 'I am happy for you' regarding your achievements or anything in the meanwhile that passed without you two together.. then reply would be like this:'I am happy for you too, keep your charm up''That is so nice of you, I wish you all the happiness in return'Thanks for reading.*Peace*
