(notably, given the anonymous nature of the messages, it’s likely that some of my haters have sent in messages that they wish Duncan to perceive as from me that actually aren’t; I got so many insulting and hateful and just plain lewd messages in my adnonymous inbox—one pretending to be from Duncan, it was crudely sexual and wanted me to say the word “giraffe” on social media (eyeroll) - that I actually had to shut down my adnonymous inbox because it was affecting me too much)
I recognize they are anonymous but I am capable of using inferences, textual clues, and context to make a reasonable guess. Can you affirmatively say “I did not write that message”? That’s literally all I care about here.
You said in another thread that your IRL friends have not asked you clarifying questions about what’s going on. This style of response might be why. You were asked why you sent this message, and instead of answering the question, or even denying its premise directly, you threw an evidence-free smokebomb. If you want people in your life to ask questions and give you feedback, you have to show them you will answer questions directly and honestly, show them you’ll take critical feedback well. Otherwise, they’ll quickly decide to just avoid you.
