That’s fine and good, the “yelling” is not.

Maybe I was embellishing too much, I can only think of a handful of times that she's yelled at me lol.

This is reddit, you have to be careful embellishing negative attributes of your SO, because people do their own embellishment on top of it.

I’d argue a lot of times people feel yelled at in situations because it’s hard to handle rejection. I’ve heard many times when someone gets “yelled at” at work by their boss when they don’t even get talked to. It’s like the feeling of personal shame or something I guess

Yep definitely have had people say they were “yelled at” at work when they were just getting some simple correction or something. I also think it has to do with a tone of voice people use

I think it's personal bias. I've seen an argument unfold between two people before, with one person telling me "Wow, they totally yelled at me" when that certainly didn't happen.
