What are you talking about? You literally messaged me asking for advice and I gave you some? Now you're accusing me of being insincere. Pick a side, buddy.
you hinted at some kind of vague 'problem' she has then you immediately backtracked one message later do you really think i'd believe that wasn't deliberate? it's the oldest trick in the book
you KNOW what i mean don't treat me like i'm stupid and don't twist things around

[ DON'T THROW YOUR BASEBALL SLANG AT HIM!! Though at least he can pick up on the meaning through context, even if he doesn't get the significance of left field. ]
i'm NOT i'm not crazy
[ He sends that before he can think better of it, and he looks at the screen with some mortification before he sends a follow-up to save face. ]
sorry i don't know why i lost my temper you were only trying to help
[ He doesn't fully believe it as he types it, but he doesn't fully think of it as a lie, either. He's just all kinds of uncertain. ]
