I've got a friend who sometimes reveals, probably unintentionally, some very important things about what they are thinking, or how they deal with people, which clues me in to how they may think of me. In preparation for spending hours with me one day, they expressed reservation that we may not be able to fill all the time with conversation. This kinda explains our entire relationship, which has been frustrating and sometimes humiliating for me. They are so unwilling to deal with awkward silences that they won't talk to me, except in an occasional demonstration of friendship, which, frankly, hasn't happened in a long damned time. Though they've had all the control in this relationship, it still feels kinda like I have an unfair advantage in this one thing: I know this about them, and I use it to explain the entire state of our relationship, and they probably have no clue that I think it's important at all. I've been wondering if I should mention it. I've decided not to, because it just doesn't matter anymore.
