        How do you know that? Since we’re both making assumptions. It’s extremely well done writing, it’s almost 100% perfect. When students come and show stuff like that and ask if they’re good enough, they’re fishing for compliments. It’s playing coy. Just say, hey, look at my pretty handwriting, instead of pretending to be oblivious.

        How do you know? You interact with human beings over a lifetime. How do you know when someone is being sarcastic, or giving an underhanded compliment, or being suspicious, or flirting? You just do, because you’re human, and you are among humans. If you don’t, you’re just inexperienced, young, or oblivious. You can’t just take everything people tell you at face value and run with it, that’s how you get duped and fucked in the ass.
