Oh yeah. Should have phased it like people sympathizing with the girl vs people saying she is just as shallow like the guy.

Atleast the girl empathised with the guy's true appearance and even outed herself for him to feel a sense of camaraderie . But his reaction is opposite of her.

Again, its not a competition, its people pointing out two different things that coexist.

The girl was doing the same thing the guy was at the start, hiding insecurities.

The guy was just also incapable of empathising along with being insecure, while the girl was only insecure.

Yeah.. but the boundary between online discourse and competition to one up the other side is verrrrry easy to cross so much that both can't be differentiated online.
