Well, I thought she might hate me because we had an unpleasant time together in session yesterday. Then I realized that to hate somebody they have to take up space and be important in one way or another, and I know I'm certainly not important, so I guessed it was more like irritation and disliking being in my company than hate.
I wasn't after a description of the dislike. But I was hoping for a 'no, of course that's not true you idiot' kind of response. Something more emphatic than what I got.

This is very true, text is not nuanced enough for all the complexity of emotional exchange, especially when you're feeling raw in the first place.
