I was once explaining to an online friend about how I hadn’t learned to drive yet, and all the mental and emotional struggle I had been through doing lessons, failed tests, etc. I put this all in very serious, sober terms, this is a real issue for me.
He responded ‘ah yeah, I haven’t passed yet’. So, for a brief moment I believe he understood my plight. But then he very confidently proceeded to be like ‘if I was to do the test now I’d ace it though XDDDD’.
This hits hard; human interaction is legit like this for me. I explain something that nobody seems to get, they seem to pretend they get it, and then they follow up with something to show they really didn’t get it.
Except this strip was published before Lord of the Flies was.
