You saying youโd straight up cancel a dinner because someone gave you a thumbs up instead of a verbal response genuinely blew my mind lmao. Ngl fam, thatโs a bit extreme. I give people the thumbs up all the time, and imagining someone becoming so upset at me for doing it that theyโd cancel our dinner together is insane to me. I couldnโt be friends with such a person without feelings like so was constantly walking on eggshells.

It was an exageration my guy, as with all my reactions to the ๐ in this thread. It does not make me truly angry, I'm being a bit silly because it's fun.
So I wasn't sure if you were an asshole, but based on this comment, I'm am not certain you are.
I say this because it's fun for me and I've been taught to speak at my audience's level.
Maybe try not habitually exaggerating? People who don't know you are just gonna take you at your word.
