These aren't just people being jerks. These are people that are saying, look, I don't want to talk to you now, or I didn't want to talk to you then, but I still care about you.
Les gens ne veulent pas être désagréables, ils disent, "Ecoutez, je ne veux pas vous parler maintenant, ou, je ne voulais pas vous parler avant, mais je vous aime bien quand même.
