it's not like that!
I can't just
he's in *college* Luna
and I'm not allowed to date until I'm 16 anyway
I just wanted to be friends!
that's all!!

[that is not all.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Uh huh
Kinda young for college boys though.

Hm.

So give him a couple days to cool off then talk to him like nothing happened
Bet you he acts like everything's normal.

[livingdeadgirl]

...
ok on the off chance that he would actually react that way
and not immediately call bs on the whole thing
what part of the problem does that plan actually solve

[chaoticwhimsy]

The part where you think he hates you.

[livingdeadgirl]

so it only works if he actually doesn't
yeah ok

[pause. "Ami is typing..."]

hey Luna
what does friendship mean to you?

[chaoticwhimsy]

That's
Kind of a vague question?
Friendship is having friends

[She's being obtuse on purpose, that's a hard question!]

[livingdeadgirl]

thank you dictionary dot com
what are friends then?

[chaoticwhimsy]

I'm more of a Webster fan.

[There's a long delay.]

A friend is someone who has your back.
And is always there for you.
No matter what.

[livingdeadgirl]

[a moment as she unpacks that.]

so it's a trust thing essentially?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Well not JUST trust but I mean
That would be a really big part of it!

[livingdeadgirl]

yeah makes sense
and some other things it involve are like
the people involved liking each other
and at least to some extent knowing each other
right?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yeah tht is kind of required!
I mean
I suppose you could just decide you're friends with strangers.
But

It would be pretty lonely.

[And not something she did when she was little not at all nope nope.]

[livingdeadgirl]

[it would at that... is that where her definition diverges from his?]

so if somebody acts friendly
but then doesn't want to know anything about you, or for you to know anything about them
that'd be a pretty strong indicator that they don't actually want to be friends huh

[chaoticwhimsy]

Mm

Probably?

[livingdeadgirl]

or alternatively I might be overthinking it and missing something super obvious
that is also a possibility
sigh

[chaoticwhimsy]

Jeez.
Okay. Gonna need you to turn that anxiety down about eight clicks.

Hm
So aside from when he yelled at you
Has he ever given you the impression he doesn't want to be your friend?

[livingdeadgirl]

no the anxiety will continue until morale improves

I didn't think so??
I mean
we talked pretty regularly...
even if not particularly often...
and he seemed cool with that

[she uh. might not be great at keeping in touch with people. a problem her mun kind of shares tbh.....]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Trying to decide if that's better or worse than the beatings continuing

Hm.
It sounds like you were at least internet friends.
So just talk to him again.
