    But how do I read these subtle hints, can’t she just tell me how she’s feeling?

      i wonder how much extra stress access to instant non-verbal communication has added to humanity. like for thousands of years you could only talk to someone face to face or wait three months for a letter to arrive. we never really had to try and translate someone’s intent without the aid of vocal tone and body language until pretty recently.
