Privacy

It doesn't matter who you are or where you live. There will always be someone sticking their nose in your business. People are always curious, but not everyone seems to know how to approach it properly.

For some reason, no one just asks questions. It seems to be an entirely foreign concept to some people. When they want to know something they rarely just straight up ask. They don't want to be insensitive, rude or (god forbid) sound stupid. People much prefer to speculate. They honestly don't want to know. They only want to know if it proves their theory right.

Trust me people being straight forward isn't as bad you seem to think. While I can't speak for everyone, I personally would much prefer if when a person has a question about either my appearance, sexuality or even gender, they would just straight up ask. (Although I will admit it's pretty entertaining watching them try to figure these things out.) Seriously, it's far less insensitive to ask (politely, don't be a jerk about it) than it is to sit there and stare at someone while you figure it out.

The thing to remember is, that other people don't actually care what the truth is. They don't care if that celebrity is actually dating that one person. They just want to try and figure it out. They only care when they get to prove their friends wrong when the truth comes out.

The most entertaining of things is when people claim that they want someone to tell them the truth, but get pissed off when they don't like the truth. I understand that certain things are worth getting pissed off about (cheating, steeling, murder, etc.), but there are certain things that are not. When your parents are yelling at you to tell them the truth on something that's not necessarily a bad thing, but you know they won't support (homosexuality, voting for a democrat, etc.), you're not going to tell them. Sorry, but telling someone something that you know will get you in trouble is not exactly helpful. Telling the truth can get you in crap ton of trouble.

People don't respect each others privacy, but at the same time they don't actually want to know the full story. It's one thing to ask politely and see if someone wants to tell you. It's an entirely different thing to read someones messages, mail, etc. because they refuse to answer you. A person is entitled to their privacy, opinions, and beliefs whether you like it or not. You don't have a right to take a bite of someone else's pie because it smelled good. Unless of course you've been invited.
