l'espirit de escalier

it's like it all rushes out of you in a breath, your words your thoughts your objections to their very voice, and instead comes out "oh great cool" and "yeah sure yes" and assent that you don't mean,

just because you don't want to be mean?

because you don't know if you have enough tact or if you care enough that they'd get annoyed or just because you freeze up scared

and then later you think of witty things you could have said, like "shut up, you arrogant bitch" and "no I will not do what you want again because I want to fucking do this tonight."

you could have said all that but you didn't. and then the moment's gone and you're left with just frustration.

if you bring it up later, you're just obsessive. right? maybe you shouldn't object to your friends as much as you do and you'd be less angry.
