Ouch. This hurts on both sides.
I can not see this not being deliberate.
What? Like they would've sent the screenshot to the boy on purpose? That would be insane. First of all, this is the internet and it's probably fake but mistakes like that happen all the time.
Boy is interested in girl, girl knows but isn't interested and doesn't know how to handle the situation and wants to ask a friend for help, accidentally replies to the wrong person.
I think it's kinda weird that you would assume it's deliberate.
Had a boss so this to me once. Thought he was texting another supervisor how he found my spending time working on a repair project annoying (which was kind of hilarious from my perspective as we all had spent the last three days doing mind numbing busywork and I jumped on doing anything that would look like actual work while giving me a break from appearing to be useful ) and how he hated me being around.
He basically melted from embarrassment even when I was telling him that I was fine. His text response looked practically identical.
Brings back memories of accidentally sending a dick pick to a group chat
I will never forget
did they banish you from the group chat and you've never talked to or seen any of them ever since?
We were all close friends and while there were unfortunately women in that group chat they got over it. I grew up with both of them so I don't think that was enough to warrant losing a friend. They managed to forget thankfully and we made a new groupchat.
I still talk to and actively see 3/5 of those people
See, this could either be a terrible person trying to humiliate someone, or someone who has no idea how to reject someone.
The fact no identification is included in the screenshot supports the latter, the fact there was no sight of the word sorry in that list of words supports the former.
The use of the word "boy" is a bit derogatory, but that's just an acceptable diminutive these days.
Oh well, I guess we'll never know who was evil, and must go on with our lives accepting that every story has two heroes and two villains.
"'No thanks' would suffice."
This thread is a dumpster fire.
Also: no one has mentioned they maybe this "boy" was actually being sincere and trying to study with someone.
Of course, it doesn't matter since this screen shot is most likely not from a real conversation.
Having my self esteem issues none of my friends believe I have, no it's not alright, but I would find it fucking hilarious
She's serving cunt.
“My bad. I didn’t realize you were a sociopath. Good luck with all that.”
blocks
I wonder if there's ever been a murder where they found the victim had been forewarned of an attack, but had the killer's number blocked and never saw it.
Probably. Many murders get committed by ex partners and in an abusive relationship a block is more than understandable.
What’s sociopathic about that? If she’s not interested she’s not interested, and many people struggle with uncomfortable social situations like being asked out by someone you aren’t attracted to. Asking a friend for help is a perfectly fine approach to that.
For anyone reading this who thinks they need advice on how to say no, "no thanks" is sufficient. You don't need to involve your community in your decision not to study with someone.
He'll be fine and her offers will dry up if she keeps treating others like that. Chin up, buddy.
I mean, why waste his time
A rude or nice no is still no
Maybe we should think about what societal factors created such anxiety around turning people down
Like, I don’t know, the patriarchy
I think it’s pretty standard society wise to start polite or “nice” and then move to rude. At the very least reciprocating the energy received which doesn’t strike me as rude. You can be polite and brief if that is desired.
That’s a cope. She’ll get exactly what she wants while he’ll be shattered by that for some time.
