It happens, I've been the one misreading before, it happens at a high rate here because of he tism and ADHD, lots of people here love Tylenol after all.

Its embarrassing af when it happens though. You go into full war mode then realize "shit... I messed up!"

Same.

The key is in the reaction: ignore, acknowledge or double down.

If they double down, it's unlikely the tism or a misread.

They didn't double down so it's all good.

Or I double down because I don't want to be looked down and must win because otherwise I will think about this for weeks and nothing else and my wife will keep asking me what's wrong and all I can say is "I'm fine" but im not fine I'm actually seething and crying in the shower because I was wrong on the internet and I can do nothing but hyperfocus on the fact that someone thinks im stupid seriously its running my life I'll never recover....

Or yeah ignore, acknowledge works too.
