to think that most of the time, it's not about you, frankly

[TanglednotTamed]

So many threads on here by OPs who are offended that someone else stood close to them / said something that could possibly be interpreted as a criticism of them / looked at them funny / failed to take notice of them. Etc. Etc. Etc.

AIBU to think that in 99% of cases, the other person is probably barely aware of the OP's existence? And that the OP is just projecting their own prejudice/secret fears/sensitivity on the world around them?

Or perhaps it's just me who is fairly oblivious to other people.

My friend has a BRF. Drunk women start with her all the time as she looks like shed giving them funny looks. Its just how her face is!

I have a docile resting face.

I smiled at a cute baby on the tram last week, and her eyes went all wide, and she let out an ear piercing shriek. I didn't think I was THAT scary looking in the morning.

I have a BRF I think. I have a frown line and do tend to walk about thinking about what's bothering me.

don't hate me.
