Over it

I'm tired of people questioning me on what I do. Specifically, tonight we went to hear a pretty good band, Cat Scientist, in a little bar downtown. And some people sat at tables, some people stood (including myself) and some people danced. So far the situation is well and good. But what is people's OBSESSION with asking people who are choosing not to dance why they made that decision? People seem to assume that if you don't immediately react to live music by hopping around that you are either a) in a bad, horrible, cranky mood, or b) have some kind of hangup. Maybe I just don't feel like moving at all. Maybe I'm tired of you trying to validate your own silly motions by pushing your preferences on me. I'm just not usually moved to dance. That's all. I don't ask you why you don't do what I want to do, because here's why: you're not me. The end.
