In reply to how would you react if someone you knew..., posted by obsidian on September 29, 2008, at 22:32:37
Suddenly have something very important to do somewhere else, whenever I saw him/her coming-- and rush off muttering various unsavory comments under my breath.
If this person were my only, or main, resource for intimate conversation, I would probably end up in some sort of tangled, wretched session partly of trying desperately to get the person to understand, and partly blaming myself for whatever it was, if only to demonstrate my sanity to the other person--since of course, I'm part of the problem, although of course, they probably take it to mean I"m all of the problem.
Later, I would mentally berate the other person obsessively, listing all their insensitive comments, and the look on their face, and comforting myself with snide rebuttals to their insinuations. Then I would start feeling stupid about doing that.
I can't say I recommend it.
