[quackery]

you can tell exactly what my reaction was from a few texts?

anyways whatever this isn't about me. you didn't say how you're doing

[heartsink]

Text doesn't hide as much as you think it does.

[quackery]

there's nothing to hide

[heartsink]

There always is.

[quackery]

why do you think that

if you want to say

[heartsink]

Isn't it obvious?

[quackery]

obviously not if i just asked

[heartsink]

Excluding yourself, name the people you know who are exactly as they appear on the surface. No secrets, no hidden qualities. No embarrassing anecdotes. No feelings of grief. No unrequited romances.

[quackery]

i would argue that like 75% of that list wouldn't count as a deep dark secret

[heartsink]

Any of those could get a person killed.

[quackery]

there are probably like 29834928374+ things that could get a person killed. are all of them deep dark secrets?

[heartsink]

You don't understand people very well, do you?

[quackery]

it's fine if that's what you think but you've misunderstood me too

[heartsink]

Deliberately insulting, to be technical.

But it isn't kind to be dismissive of the types of secrets someone might hold, if you want them revealed to you.

You understand that much.

[quackery]

was i being dismissive?

[heartsink]

You are.

(´ー^♡) But I suppose if you've never had a secret of your own, you can't understand how important they are to those around you.

[quackery]

i never said they weren't important

not thinking they're deep and dark doesn't mean i think they aren't important

[heartsink]

If not deep or dark, what are they? Shallow and lighthearted?

[quackery]

you make it sound like there are only two options for each!

[heartsink]

You make it sound like a secret must meet some arbitrary quality to deserve being one worth keeping.

[quackery]

when did i say something even similar to that

[heartsink]

You wouldn't answer my question before.

[quackery]

which question

[heartsink]

I asked you to name someone without secrets.

Instead, you argued over what counts as a "deep dark secret."

Is it because you can't find an answer?
