Because I'm already asking a question about how his smile or his face is.

Because I feel like he's like, if we're already having... If I'm already feeling this way, like feeling like you're criticizing me or judging my appearance... You weren't judging his appearance.

Like, I mean, I feel like if I look back at it, I don't, I feel like I really shouldn't have asked for a smiling picture.

I should have just been like, okay, cool.

That's what it looks like.

But like... And maybe I think I'm a little also triggered from my past.

Because you are right.

Because I do come across as unintentionally rude.

And it's funny because in other past relationships, I have the reputation of going to a party...

And there's always one person that vehemently hates me.

And I don't understand why.

And when you ask other people, they seem to be like, what's the problem here?

But it just seems like too much of a coincidence for it to keep on happening with new groups of people that aren't even related.

And I think he recognized that because later on I asked him, so why did you change your mind after you were so upset after the first little fight we had?

And he's like, well, I know your quirks a little bit better.

So I know that you don't mean to come across certain ways.

So it's a lot easier to manage on his end because he's already gotten to know the quirks.

Well, if I put myself in his shoes... I don't want you to put yourself in his shoes.

Well, I feel like ever since I found that out on my own, I've been trying to observe him and try to see the red flags, other red flags besides that.

And almost every interaction is like, I feel like a green flag.
