I hate my best friend

Over time, I’ve grown to dislike her more and more. I thought it’d go away, since for a while, these waves of distaste would come in waves for an hour or two and then if I saw her, they’d go away.

From where I sit, the wording alone shifts how people read this which turns this into more of a debate This could age very differently in a week.

this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that tension shows up immediately Interested to see the follow-up.

At this point, the main issue seems to be how this is handled That part stands out. Time will tell.

At first glance, this feels rushed rather than thought through That part stands out. At least from my perspective.

Honestly, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where it gets complicated Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Without overthinking it, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That’s what makes this interesting. Others will probably see it differently.

I get the idea, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s the part people are stuck on Not convinced this is settled yet.

the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that friction is hard to ignore That’s the key detail here. Interested to see the follow-up.
