No other way to interpret it.
And it just irritates me like nothing else.
Anyone else out there?
You have a choice on how you want to interpret it. You can take it as you have, get all riled up and upset in your head, causing all sorts of bad chemicals to be released from some neurological center that does that stuff, OR, you can take it as that person might have a genuine interest in your well being.
I suppose the difference is, do you want to be angry or not?
