Entry 0033

Me: Is she really that excited about the topic, or was she trying to make me think she's crazy/hyper in an attempt to get me to avoid her?

Rubber duck: It's impossible to know for sure without asking her. Even then, you probably wouldn't trust her answer if she says it's not the latter, thinking she's just trying not to hurt your feelings. Which explanation sounds more reasonable: the simple face-value one, or the more convoluted one that has paranoia and rejection sensitivity signatures all over it?
