Have you ever been so /lit/ you frightened and disturbed someone?

I quoted Shakespeare a few times to the girl that I date raped. I've always wondered if it soured her on Shakespeare.

I met this girl a while back, we got along well enough and eventually she invited me to her place one night after work. I mentioned that i liked to read and she beamed "Me too!!" and asked me if I had read "The Alchemist". Needless to say that was the end of that... She called me a few times and I remember that she was hurt and confused, and not too sure what had happened. I sure dodged a bullet there.

There wasn't a big enough trashcan for me to throw her in so I just had to suck it up

I was too harsh with my criticism at my college lit mag and I received a weird "mass email" saying that nobody should be that harsh

I apologized in a very Kafkaesque way, owning the insult fully and even overloading it, making appeals to the chancellor out of weird self-condemnation... worked on it for like an hour. Left the club soon after that

If I had a nickel for every girl that I know who looks through me like I was a ghost or literally fucking dead. I'd have like 2 dollars
