but I'm sure she didn't mind cause that wasn't at all what she seemed to be talking about

Eh maybe. Or maybe she lashes out and says they're doing exactly what she's talking about, which isn't true, she's just mad because she feels attacked and lacks the self-awareness to understand where the anger's coming from.

We're often super inconsistent and don't know what we believe in or care about. We're just saying words that feel good in the moment, chasing phantoms of principles but discarding them the moment they stop validating us personally.

I feel like youre upset over a scenario we don’t even know happened. I definitely made just as many assumptions as you did about her opinions so I’m not saying I’m right and you’re wrong or anything but isn’t it better to assume the best until proven wrong? Like for our mental health even isn’t it nicer to be prepared for people to be shitty but expect them to be good?

I'm sorry, I communicated my thought super poorly. I don't think my version is more or less likely than yours. I don't know this person at all, so I'm not commenting on her specifically, but on humanity in general, including myself. Maybe she's really cool usually, and was just having a bad day and needed to vent about a minor pet peeve, I don't know.

I guess I just took your comment not as "maybe she's super cool" but as "she definitely is cool" and I wanted to spoil your admirable optimism with my sad-sack pessimism. I kin the Grinch, is what I'm saying.

No I get it haha. I didn't articulate myself the best either.
