They hear "I'm fine" and take it at face value. They don't notice when a joke crosses the line into being mean. They get blamed for something and don't know how to clear their name without making it worse.
😳Falsely accused
A classmate blames them for something they didn't do. They panic, over-explain, and end up looking guiltier, not less.
😔Left out or overlooked
They miss the social cue that would've told them what was really going on, and don't understand why they're on the outside.
🚩 The wrong kind of friend
They can't yet tell a real friend from a toxic one, so they stay in friendships that cost them more than they give.
