"Err, hang on. You mean, you're sure everybody feels like that sometimes, but if someone says so then you know they feel like that and that puts you off them? Despite knowing they felt like that anyway because everyone does? I'm confused...
Well look at it this way -- you know everyone's in the same boat. Isn't the best response therefore to deal with it privately when it happens?
I'm not saying I'm a fan of suffering in silence, but in this case I think that drawing attention to the issue may be causing greater suffering for you. This is because on whatever grounds you made this edit, people will now be feeling bad about their behaviour, and I dunno if that's the best way to tackle the issue!
As a rule of thumb, I'd say when you're in the mood, go for it, have a good time and chat to people. When you're not, don't beat yourself up about simply getting out of the situation and doing something else. Just my 2p.
