acabo de colgar con helen y tuvimos una platica humorosa y muy profunda a cerca de cuando la gente (toda esa gente que nos rodea como familiares o amigos que se sienten "normales") nos ha dicho, "ah eso está padrísimo, pero yo nunca lo usaría" (we get that a lot) ¿qué significa eso? is that a polite way of saying you´re a weirdo? or strange, and maybe even both? qué dices en esas situaciones? de reflejo contestabas, "gracias", pero claro, estas agradeciendo a un insulto.. a polite insult, un insulto por debajo de la mesa...
entonces, desarrollamos un mini test para la próxima vez que nos (te) suceda.

I would totally fake a seizure! But clearly we both know I´m mentally unstable among some other very disturbing things jaja! Pero lo que si es neto es que a la próxima no voy a decir gracias porque you are totally right, it´s the politest insult ever, but still an insult!
I would answer :
e) awww, it is a shame you admit to be such a mass appeal copy cat.
Or probably just fake a seizure.... to being polite jajaja
