Empty leverage from something you said years ago that they never understood (even and especially at the time), vague impressions, misread tone (which can happen a lot online, naturally), you might remind them of someone they don’t like. Sometimes it’s resentment they’ve been holding onto that was never really yours to carry, but now you’re the scapegoat for whatever unresolved mess they’ve clung to. Anything. Either way, Mock, it ain’t your bag to carry and it ain’t mine, either. People will construct a whole load of imaginary nonsense about who you are based on scraps ripe for the bin.

You've made some good points tbh.

I definitely wouldn't like it if someone was being hostile to me because I remind them of someone that they don't like. How would that be my fault? Is the way that I would see it.
