If you know someone you would describe as 'stuck up' what would make you say that?
Was reading a thread running about likeability and i've been thinking lately about how I've been described as stuck up in the past and how it's both times been by people who the sort of person who if you told them you were going to see a play would say 'fucking boring, why would you want to do that' or would roll their eyes at someone reading a non fiction book. Now to be clear, if you aren't interested in going to see plays or read non fiction, great! (There's a lot of plays and non fiction that would bore me to tears) it's just the attitude that comes with it - the sort of 'ewwwww, boring and weird' attitude. Instead of 'oh, not my thing at all, but hope you enjoy it!'
Interested to hear in what others think of as 'stuck up' behaviour. It was a very long time ago I got called it, when I was quite shy, and I have definitely seen other people described as 'stuck up' when i can't see how you'd know enough about the person to determine that, given how shy they are!
Interested in a discussion - from anyone whose been called stuck up and would agree/disagree with that assessment, anyone who finds others stuck up, different interpretations of the word etc.
