It's not just wholesomeness I miss. I just want something other than toxic caricatures of cocky gamers. They're all personifications of "I'm bout to hard carry my worthless teammates and shit all over everyone on this server".
This is one of those that might be ok coming from a trusted person, but people I'm not that close to are absolutely not welcome in my personal space lol
Same. If its someone I know well enough, them just being their is one of the most comforting things. Otherwise I go into masking mode, and get super exhausted.
But I figured, they must already be good friends, when the follow-up question to the first "No" played out as pictured and actually wasn't the socially standardized and personally dreaded: "Oh, what's wrong? Tell me everything right now!"
Idk... but I'd probably grant silent back2back leaning permission to anyone being that considerate.
Hard agree. Contextually as being decent to good friends it's hard not to give it a pass. I know a few who absolutely loathe people in their space even on the best intentions though lol.
