"Do you want to be friends?"

I don't want to speak for anyone, but I HATE this question and feel like it shouldn't need to be asked. 

If you've been chatting away with someone for some time, then that itself should be a sign that 2 people are friendly to each other. 

 But if for some reason, you haven't found such sign, and DO ask that dreaded question, you're very likely to be responded with a "Yes" because...

 1. who on Earth will decline friendship? 

2. who talks to peple they don't like? But, if after all this, You STILL NEED to ask for friendship and can't just imply the new friendship, then IF you're ever been conversing with me, just remeber: 

I ACCEPT YOUR OFFER OF FREINDSHIP. PLEASE DON'T ASK, IT'LL ONLY MAKE THE MOMENT AWKWARD. At the very least, it'll be 50% awkward. 🥺

a paradox this is

here's a random thought I had in the shower. that's right, I shower unlike those heathens that lie there in brown water...

"sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me." this saying contradicts with "the pen is mightier than the sword" and that saying contradicts with "actions speak LOUDER than words"
so it's a impossible to find out if words are stronger than actions
