The initial comment it was replying to was exaggerating for comic effect.

The initial comment it was replying to was written by me.

I was not exagerating.

Gerudo just popped in and basically said that they thought I was being intentionally harsh as well.

Both of you have now ascribed a motive, a goal to my description of Seattle... that I do not have.

I was simply flatly stating my lived experience in Seattle.

People in Seattle are actually terrible at forming genuine relationships, that is my completely honest, not exaggerated assessment.

I am also an introvert.

I was just describing that yes, Seattle is full of introverts, who suck at socializing.

There is no joke. There was only an attempt at being contrarian in an equally exagerated manner back toward a percieved exageration that did not exist.

In fact, quite hilariously now imo, this entire course of discussion is itself an example of how an anti-social behvaior, assuming unstated intentions behind statememts, reading in context that isn't actually there... produces confusion and interpersonal friction.

Oh for fuck sake, I'm out. Why the fuck am I still even in this conversation this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever been a part of. I guess that's what I get for trying to explain a joke to someone.
