The only reason the loud girl would say that is if the quiet girl indicated interest. So wipe those tears away and don't selectively focus on the negative.

Tbf we always assume people are talking about us but they rarely actually are

And then there's a few who do nothing but talk about others as a means of getting attention. Fuck them.

They are meaningless. I ignore lesser beings. Do yourself the same favour.

Meaningless, but definitely not harmless. I tried ignoring them. They will poison everyone else around you against you. I actually lost a friend like this. Psycho bipolar girl from highschool just wouldn't let go and she went after my best friend at the time and just, fuck, poisoned her brain with lies about me until we eventually lost all contact. It was wild. It was like, "where the fuck is this shit coming from? The fuck did I do?", until I learned post facto where it did, in fact, come from.

Being the bigger person and just take it is NOT always a winning strategy. Play dead only works when the bear isn't very hungry.

Rarely, but not never. Been on the receiving end of it a few times.

Which when realized can hit as hard or harder than the original post.

I used to have a stupidly large beard. One time a pack of girls was walking by in Manhattan, dressed like they were going to a club or something. After we passed each other, one of them said something like "I want a man with a big ol beard like that! Rwar!"

I choose to believe it was about me and that made me happy.

On the other hand, one time I was in an elevator and it stopped on a lower floor before the lobby. Door opened and a woman looked at me and the mega beard. She turned around and took the stairs.

May not be related. "Ew, human." is a valid response too.

She might have just asked if it was okay to microwave sushi.

I passed a bunch of high school girls and overheard them say like, "what happened?" "I stuck a stick in her pussy so now she's mad."

Kids be wild these days yo

I'm sure this is just some figure of speech, right?

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 10 hours ago

I sure hope so too, buddy.
