I consistently have this issue where I legit cannot tell if someone is being snarky or mean it just bounces right off. Then i spend ages wondering if a certain phrase was meant to be an underhanded insult or not or what the subtext was supposed to be.
Previously yes. It's something that has gotten better with reading, therapy, and supportive relationships. I blame the lack of adult relationships growing up, as i think it's something that needs to be taught.
I know that a "support network" can be hard to obtain, but it's helpful to have mates to bounce things off of. Hexbear can do that for certain situations.
