Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I'm wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it.

I for one am too pessimistic to do anything with potential hints. Like even if there is a good chance I still just don't want to risk it.

One problem is that it's very socially unacceptable to mistake not-a-hint for a a hint. Maybe people should stop trying to 'hint' and be more direct.

This right here. I do not try to take any hints. If you like me say so.

It's worse when they do that shit on purpose like it's some stupid power move. I catch wind of that and I'm immediately flaccid. All interest is gone. I don't need that shit in my life.
