Could you provide some examples of people making the opposite claim?
barges in completely naked, carrying nothing
"Don't mind me. I'm not important."
If you weren't important, the corporations wouldn't want to acquire your deepest secrets.
Like... Why you're naked & stuff...
No one would make that statement, but some sure as hell act like it when they're 'super busy or carrying a lot of stuff'.
it does. you have something to do and that is important. if someone has nothing to do the least they can do is acknowledge someone else has more to do and therefore that's more important than the doing of nothing
Only if it's exaggerated for the sake of appearances. Some people might do that, either to make themselves look important or seek attention, but most of the time, people are in fact busy with some task, or are carrying something for a reason. And generally, that comes with some purpose that is important to them at the time.
It's a logical conclusion to draw, even if some people may hijack that reasoning to be deceitful.
Pfft! Spoken like someone who isn't super busy OR caring a lot of stuff.
