Weird experience on Boo.

So today morning, I spoke this user who liked my profile. The conversation started fairly slow. She told me that she was down with fever. She was somewhat uptight, as she said that she is fine with English, and Bengali(our mother tongue, but not hindi even though she is fluent in it) Then it took a wierd turn where I asked her where she worked, she said defence accounts. That's legit a govt. job at the Department of Defence Accounts. I jokingly asked her that she defended accounts? And she took it a bit personally. Now, if you tell me that it's a bad joke, I can apologise. But she was not able to 'express her displeasure'( her words, not mine). When I suggested that she should work on her communication skills, she took it as if I was judging her. And then she negated the whole conversation with this weird vibe that jokes shouldn't be cracked if they're not funny. I mean, what? When I asked her what she is doing on this app, she said she was here to make friends, which is cool. I responded by saying yes! We all need a functional and healthy support system. To which she said online friends are not a support systemπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ She just gave me a headache. I mean why are you here if you don't think it's worth it, right? Please do share your thoughts.. (edited)

How rude. She's probably bored or overwhelmed with some stuff in her life, hence the sudden change of mood. I wish people can stop being a knob in the internet.

Text isn't the best medium for getting meaning across at times. Similarly some people have no sense of humour. I think you dodged a bullet there.

Her remark simply isn't true... it may be so to her BUT online friends can absolutely be a support system. Don't pursue if it's more work on your end to maintain anything~ it has to be equal effort between both people

She definitely seemed on-guard from the start, especially the expectation that no one can tell a bad joke and roll it into conversation. I think it was more being prideful of herself than pride in her job, a significant difference. You may have come off rude (communication skills lol), but I'd imagine you were taken by surprise yourself by her rigidness, especially because she messaged first. Very much an oil and water situation. Maybe the fever didn't help and made her irritable and not so ready to interact. Hard to say as the conversation didn't go anywhere once personalities came into play. (edited)
