Very amusing piece. Up for reflection though...like do you see the irony of secretly despising someone and writing a whole litany about them behind their back leaning into your imaginary comebacks? There is a healthy level of expressiveness inbetween you two. Somewhere in the middle. It's like the two extremes clashing. That guy has a piece if your life, and something calls you to get up and say 'Just shut your damn mouth for once!'.
I certainly don’t despise someone I don’t know. As for the “talking behind their back”, that’s basically the subtext of the essay. I’m calling myself out too.
I hope one day you will find the audacity to actually tell people when they encroach on your space or get on your nerves. You’ll find most extroverts won’t care much, and the world will value your honesty more than be upset about what you have to say. I mean you seem pretty insightful from here. If people like you spoke more the world would be a better place.

Solid points. And, you’re probably correct. But I think sometimes the world needs a bit more silence. Or, at least I do.
