    demand I decode

    Maybe some people do this, but I get a malingering vibe from this perspective. I think it’s more likely that people are just about “If you get what I mean, we can connect and feel closer”. And if you don’t wanna connect with them, that’s fine!

      Yeah, probably closer to my intent. To me, “demanding” isn’t a heavy and loaded word implying evil intent.

        Another thing that adds to the fun: the meaning of words to different people.

        A more extreme example is a story I vaguely remember where one person thought of “it tastes good” as somewhat negative, while the other actually meant “really good”/quite positive. Or something along those lines
