If you don’t tell the people why you are leaving, they don’t know what is going on. And this applies to businesses it applies to stores it applies to companies. It even applies to social media accounts. It even applies to your friends and family.

If you tell people why you are leaving, at least they can make a decision if they want to change or not. If the company or whatever is seeing less people coming in, but nobody will say why they’re leaving. How can they make the change?

There’s no realistic way that a manager or a host or the owner of a business or whatever could realistically ask every single person who comes through the door hey are you happy? Are you coming back? Is there anything we should change? That’s not real.

If you aren’t happy and you don’t say what is making you unhappy. Then that’s on you.

Not the business or the social media site or whatever.

They can’t read minds.

    Part of it depends why I’m leaving. Do I care about the people I’m leaving? If not, why spend the energy interacting with them?

      If you don’t hate them, why can’t you spare a few seconds saying goodbye to people? Are you that badly socialized or does regular human interaction drains/scares/annoys you that much?

        The premise of the post is that, by saying that I’m leaving, I’m telling them why so that they can change. That has the energy of an old person yelling at the retail staff why they are never going to come back to shop there again.

        A lot of people don’t respond well to criticism. A lot of people aren’t going to change. For some, it may be hard for them to fully understand why I didn’t like the interaction. At that point, it is easier just to let it go.

          Yeah, I think I didn’t understand the premise at all, I thought we were talking about an Irish goodbye, lol. My bad, I agree entirely then.
