I feel your pain - I felt exactly the same when I started playing. I decided to roll with it and have been in the middle of some pretty interesting interactions as a result. There is a saying where I'm from (not all that uncommon) which is 'If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes." In Eorzea, you don't even need to wait that long.
