About two days ago, I had a friend start shouting some stuff in a group chat that a few of my friends were in. Nothing wrong with that by itself, it’s a private chat that we use our personal devices to connect with. The problem is that some of the stuff was just 100% not cool and we could all tell that he’d been drinking that night.

I didn’t make a big deal about it but thought I’d text him the next day privately to ask him if everything was alright. The text messages had gone out on a school night¹ and from my experience it could mean something more.

Here is basically what the text chain was. No changes to highlight that I don’t edit my text even when I post them for you fine people.

Me

Are you ok?

Him

Ya man….why?

Me

Picture of conversation

Him

I was talking shit man…and then talking about baseball…the Giants. I see now I wrote decisions when it should have said “division”. Then talking more shit. Sorry, I’ll add more emojis from now on.

Me

Do you think I care about the emojis?

I’m ask about you.

Wow, you can really feel the drama there…

Anyway, I haven’t heard back since, and I’m not going to wait around for an appology.

It’s just kind of weird for me to have this kind of reaction.
