You have no idea who they are.

And, you know, and they haven't even seen you online.

They just were passing by.

First time they saw you, they got some first impression that they got mad.

You just kind of look at them like they're crazy.

And you walk on and you wish them blessing.

But if your close friend, your partner, your closest intimates offers you or me the same set of critiques, we take them seriously because intimacy allows us to challenge.
