There's an epigram of Martial: > Ut recitem tibi nostra rogas epigrammata. Nolo. Non audire, Celer, sed recitare cupis. > You ask that I recite to you my epigrams. I refuse: you don't want to listen, Celer, but to recite your own. --- It's not the same, but a similar thing I want to mention in case reading the parent comment makes awkward people feel awkward about asking people about their days in case it's perceived as mercenary: I have a friend who is a bit ADHD-ish, and gets caught up with his own interests. I greatly enjoy talking to him regardless, but I know when he stops himself and asks me about what's going on in my life that's a very conscious decision on his part - and I appreciate it all the more for that. |
