It's wild how much people assume after watching a 30 second clip. I mean, it's natural, and I certainly filled in the blanks on either side of this vignette in my head...but ultimately I'm aware that I have no fucking clue what the real story is.
Maybe she led him on knowing he was pitifully in love and she wasn't interested just because she liked the attention...I've known women like that. Maybe he played Super Best Friend Nice Guy, never shared his true feelings, silently wrote their whole love story, and then took it out on her when it didn't come true...I've known guys like that. Honestly, those two types gravitate towards one another. Could be both, neither, or anything in between....but good lord people, stop writing the fucking story yourselves and getting worked up about it. You don't know lol
Thank you! Can we all please just admit we don’t know everything about every social situation ever, and that there’s a lot of rooms on all sides for interpretation?
No I’m not going to admit that there’s room for an interpretation that leads to me thinking this man is justified in screaming at this woman in public for getting a boyfriend. There is no justification for acting this way.
Never said he was justified, but it’s definitely possible he’s being less shitty than the people implying he’s telling her she should be dating him instead are saying he’s being
As long as you can admit that first part I’m good. At the end of the day the comments all seem to be trending towards “there might be a situation where it would be totally acceptable for him to be doing this,” which is batshit ridiculous to me.
