not sure how to disentangle appeasement display from communicating genuine emotion? the emotions aren't fake (i think), they're just exaggerated
exaggerated emotion is feminine, nonthreatening, comical? same with excessive apologies? i tend to think of it as a winning strategy against difficult people, and that's probably the case *some of the time* but at what point is it actually just cope?
might fuck around and try to use emoji less.....? hmmmmm

wait ? and trailing off and the extended "hmmm" are all plausibly appeasement displays this is hard https://twitter.com/goblinodds/status/1256052527772037121?s=21 …https://twitter.com/goblinodds/status/1256052527772037121 …

Can't stop seeing women ending statements with question marks now I'm sorry that they feel necessary
idk why most women do it? but i tend to be in a mindset of... trying to make sure no one ever feels rejected + leaving my assertions open to questioning? (jesus, cant stop wont stop, i guess)
