You said in another thread that your IRL friends have not asked you clarifying questions about what's going on. This style of response might be why. You were asked why you sent this message, and instead of answering the question, or even denying its premise directly, you threw an evidence-free smokebomb. If you want people in your life to ask questions and give you feedback, you have to show them you will answer questions directly and honestly, show them you'll take critical feedback well. Otherwise, they'll quickly decide to just avoid you.
