the point is...

it's not that fucked up a comment...

it's CLEAR they didn't reflect...

this isn't the suggested catalyst...goddamn...it's just a normal fucking reaction and if that reflection had already fucking happened...it wouldn't even be remotely noteworthy to either party

how do yall not get this...

neither of them did anything particularly wrong...some social interactions are supposed to be awkward...this one can still be broached without the awkwardness getting further fueled by the best fossil fuel known as bullshit
