    “when they think you’re gross”

    How can I know if someone thinks I’m gross if I haven’t spoken to them yet? I should just assume I’m gross, always?

      Usually when they get the torches out and organize the rest of the angry villagers I know that they don’t think highly of me.

      That’s the fun part, you can’t. Don’t assume they think you’re gross, but do remember that you don’t know what they think.

          Or 3rd wave femanist. Hard to tell the difference sometimes 🤔

        But if I tell them they’re beautiful and it turns out they think I’m gross I could go to prison for harassment! Am I really just supposed to roll the dice like that?

          Harassment isn’t a crime, so you’re probably safe from prison.

            Oh, you’re right! I’ll only get sued and probably lose my job. That makes it okay then.

            But just to think that none of that would have happened of someone sexier than I was had done the exact same things I had done!
