I've known a dear senior of mine doesn't like her pictures posted online since I've known her and I respect her wish. I used to think it was cool and life-saving since you lessen the likelihood of a contract killer getting a photographic ID on you.
There were times when I did or nearly did go against her trait, and she told me so in a way that made me feel okay to comply with her wish. This made me automatically obscure her face as much as I can if I was to post up any of my pictures with her, which usually I warn her of in advance.
On the other spectrum. I have a colleague of mine who wished to be respected in the same manner. Somehow my response to this situation was indifference, followed by annoyance, followed by working up the rationale to become indifferent again.
My rationale followed my common principle nowadays. Each has his own side and in a subjective issue, there is no right nor wrong. Maybe it was her being a boring sensitive person or it could be me being an insensitive prick. Probably me, I tend to go into prick mode and give no damn at all. This is probably why the dean's building has been running "To care always" message to me two days in a row.
Indifference made me comply, but I took a measure to make sure rats wouldn't become an issue again.
I entertained this thought for four hours until something else came up from her, which turned my indifference into a higher level of annoyance than the one before. Sigh.
I don't know why. This is still a mystery. Maybe I will wake up to have it solved.

I couldn't figure out girls. The more you know them, the more they are sensitive, clingy and annoying. Sometimes I have to tell myself that each person is a trial for himself and others and that includes me, that's why I have to tolerate because I'm a girl and I may be sensitive, clingy and annoying too. Other times I just decide if sticking around makes us annoy each other, I might as well go and take off. I'll come back whenever.
Guess this makes me straight. Or a cat.
