Do you interpret a 👍 as a rude reply? (leminal.space)

Every time somebody sends me a thumb I take it as "whatever you say you fucking dumbass" and it pisses me off.

And ya, I'm aware that that the replies are going to be thumbs, let's see em ya jerks!!!

You saying you’d straight up cancel a dinner because someone gave you a thumbs up instead of a verbal response genuinely blew my mind lmao. Ngl fam, that’s a bit extreme. I give people the thumbs up all the time, and imagining someone becoming so upset at me for doing it that they’d cancel our dinner together is insane to me. I couldn’t be friends with such a person without feelings like so was constantly walking on eggshells.

It was an exageration my guy, as with all my reactions to the 👍 in this thread. It does not make me truly angry, I'm being a bit silly because it's fun.

Maybe try not habitually exaggerating? People who don't know you are just gonna take you at your word.

So I wasn't sure if you were an asshole, but based on this comment, I'm am not certain you are.

I say this because it's fun for me and I've been taught to speak at my audience's level.
