Confession #225:

I don't wanna name names but, but I don't even know why I bother talking in chat whenever specific people are in it. Every time I say something they always gotta get so pissed at me for no reason. I try to have some fun with the chat, and we are clearly just messing around, I get called out on it. I say something innocent, I get called out on it.

There are people in chat who I thought would get all pissed at me but to my surprise they didn't. I say the same thing to two different people. One gets pissed, the other didn't and even had some fun with it. And these guys were apparently supposed to be similar to each other. And the times this person did get pissed at me, it was because I really actually did something to annoy them or I absolutely did act like a moron. And they told me the reason why they got mad at me too. They didn't just go "You're an idiot so shut up" they actually took the time to explain themselves and tell me why they are pissed, and the reasons they gave were both understandable and justifiable. One person just gets pissed and doesn't say why. The other does say why, but the explanation is often a skewing of what is actually happening. Let me give an example:

I mess around with this particular guy a lot and it's always in jest. Always taking pot shots with each other, being asses to each other, no biggy. I start acting like an ass to him in pretty much the same way I always do and the pissy guy starts calling me out on it. I mean fucks sake come on. Isn't that how it works in the real world? You get to know a guy, you get comfortable enough with them that you both start to act more casually with each other. Eventually you start messing with them. If they aren't hurt and aren't too hung up about it, they'll let you continue messing with them and most likely start messing with you in return. That's usually how it works. That's what happened with the guy. We talked, we got along, they started taking shots and I returned shots. All in jest. If a person doesn't want me messing with them they can just tell me to stop. I'm perfectly willing to write another person on my "Do not tease" list. It isn't like I'm trying to hurt someone. And one of these people always has to be so serious whenever I say something. I say something not all that seriously in chat in response to some crazy situation, Mr. Serious Pants has to be all "Shut Up."

And once again, I'd like to point out the two people who are apparently similar to each other. These guys are supposed to be similar, yet one gets angry seemingly just because, while the other is far more reasonable and workable. I piss off the latter person, we talked it out and we eventually came to an understanding and set up certain boundaries. I piss off the former, which seems to be always, they don't give any reasons, they just tell me they're pissed off. I'm scared to even try and talk it out with this person, because if I attempted that, they'd probably get all angry at me again and it'll probably get to a point with me getting my ass banned.
