That's the complete truth of the matter. If you walk into a room and it's full of people screaming at the same person, you're not going to join in screaming at that person. But on the internet, you can't see it, so some people choose not to imagine that it might still exist .. even when it's stated, or even when there's evidence. So they are allowed to pretend they've got a quiet, direct line of communication and the -only- one because it's all they can see, and they just .. barge right in. Ironically, the ones who are reserved and compassionate about this are the actual friends who understand a person's need for space and likelihood to be crippled by impingement.

Womp.

I hope this summer really does give us both a little space to move around and make things new, and better. Summer is almost always good for this -- so I wouldn't worry too much. :] We've both got good heads on our shoulders, when it comes down to it. ;*
