Discussion: do you react differently depending on who wants to talk to you?

So as the title says: do you sometimes react differently depending on which person wants to talk to you?
Like there are some people where I am already annoyed just by seeing their name in my notifications, and others where I could almost hug someone, because I’m so happy seeing that they want to talk to me?

I don’t know if you understand what I mean, but do you also have different reactions to people when they want to talk with you? :think:

Yes :rofl: I have a different one for every group of people Ik and the whole situation. It’s really weird how easily I jump into different ways of speaking.

I don’t get that on here but I definitely have that when texting people :joy:

In real life, yes, like if it’s the annoying bully who goes to the same school wit me, imma be like “you again?” but when it’s a friend, then like “Hi”

I do, I’m not fake or anything I just talk really fast Irl and if you don’t know me all that well you probably won’t know what I’m saying

In real life, yes. If my dad wants to talk to me, it’s probably about school, so I go and hide. Otherwise, I’ll be all friendly and nice :relieved::heart:

Online, if a mod PMs me on the Episode forums, my heart will jump out of the window and my instincs will be screaming at me to hide. If a mod PMs me here, I’ll probably just assume they’re PMing me on friend business rather than mod business :joy:

Only if I have a history with the person. Well, not necessarily. It also depends on how the person started talking to me. Mostly strangers PM for some kind of help. I mostly copy their style. Like they are going without greeting, and keeping it short - I do the same, etc. It more depends on my mood tbh.

I do it unintentionally sometimes. Not just on Instagram, not just here but everywhere. If I don’t like someone, chances are they know it. I don’t bother being sweet or whatever to someone I don’t like.

It depends on my mood… and the past I’ve had with them. If they were nice and genuine with me, I would treat them as such. But if they weren’t, I wouldn’t treat them as such. I would, like, deliberately ignore them or something.

About the mood thing, welp… you can’t really expect a person to be all rainbows and sunshine after they’ve scored badly on a test, right? Same here – I tend to be a real downer to other people (even if its my mom) if I’m feeling all kinds of negative emotions like disappointment, anger, anxiety etc.

Yes, mostly becuase I have prejudice against somebody, but it also happens when that person did something to me, because tbh I’m like an elephant, I never forget

This sounds absolutely normal to me xD

I actually am not annoyed by anyone here (yet :joy:) enough to like be aggravated by seeing their name but I have varying levels of enthusiasm depending on who it is, like if I know them well and they’re a good friend or even someone I want to be my friend, I would be more excited to talk to versus someone I have had limited interactions with. But generally, i like notifications on here. So yep, I know what you mean for sure and this is very normal!

Online actually my grammar can change depending on who I speak to. I like to try and keep good grammar but sometimes if I’m just casually talking in a PM I’ll stop using proper grammar. A bit like how once I’m comfortable in real life I’ll start swearing more and using slang.

I guess? In irl I definitely switch depending on who I’m talking to.

No. Neither in real life nor here or Episode forum :woman_shrugging:t4::confused:
I guess my reaction is normal (?) regardless of who wants to talk to me.

Yeah, I suppose? :thinking:

YES! All the time.

Like when that former friend that I recently cut ties with texts or call me, I sigh with frustration or roll my eyes at her because I knew she would bombard me with her nonsense. Her fault for stabbing me in the back in the first place so good thing I haven’t heard from her at all since she was such a bitch.

When my mum goes into my room without knocking and ask me if I want to go anywhere with her like her friend’s house. I aggressively say no because I can’t stand her friends & their children.

Not really much. Maybe to adults because I’m taught to respect them but for teens or people around my age, I treat them like a regular person I’d get to know or friend. :woman_shrugging:t4:

Recently, parents brought up this certain girl I went to primary school with and oh man I can’t f**king stand her that I swiftly tell my parents to drop it because it triggered a flashback.
