[(Anonymous)]

you had my sympathy until that last bit. not sure if it was poor wording on your part or a petty mean girls moment. they're suddenly ugly because they dont believe you're attractive? anyway maybe dont worry so much about other people's opinions of your face.

[harp]

I think it was poor wording. I tried imagining myself in the secret poster's place and in the end, the assumption-emotion is really, really difficult to sum up in few words. It wants a lot more qualifiers and explanations, and definitions on explanations and qualifiers on definitions, and even then, in the end, there are some things that there's just no good way to explain because someone's going to bring their own personal selves to your words and their interpretation is out of your hands.

[(Anonymous)]

So... what, under your interpretation, did OP mean? Can you explain at all how it differs from "Fuck you people for being ugly and jealous"

[harp]

I really don't think I can, no. I don't have the words, just a feeling. I'll never know 100% what the person was feeling, even if she told me. I just get the feeling that what the OP left in text was more cold and bitter and rigid than what I'd get from her if we spoke and I said "and what does ____ mean to you?" and if I saw the comments.

I'm saying that I agree with you on the part about it might have been poor wording and I was expanding on why I agreed.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah the anon above you is someone else (i made the comment about poor wording) and i do get what you mean. still on a place like f!s it's pretty inevitable to have people bring in their own interpretations so i'm not really surprised something like this is getting mixed opinions. hell, i still have mixed opinions.

[harp]

Their own interpretations and a lot of defensiveness, too. I made another comment above (or below?) this one about how OP's friends were likely being mean because seeing her picture made them upset and an anon replied accusing me of calling them ugly and jealous. I get how a very defensive reading of my comment could look like I said that, but seriously, how many of us have heard people that we think look perfectly fine say something to the effect of "I wish I was good looking like so-and-so" or pick out one feature about themselves that they think so distracting that it makes them completely unattractive? How many times have we done it ourselves, no matter how other people think we look?
