AITA for telling an aquaintance that nobody will mourn him

There’s this acquaintance that I never really liked because he would always make a big show of how better than plebians for not caring about celebrities. Whenever one would pass, he would say "big deal , people pass away everyday. get over it are you gonna cry 1000 times a day or all of them?" . Let’s call him Danny

I was hanging out with several friends and we were all talking about how sad cathriine oharas passsing was , since some of us were fans of hers. I was pretty saddened at the news since she was apart of my childhood Danny comes up and said "*how can you grieve someone you don’t even know? YOu didn’t even know her People pass away everyday. What makes her so special She’s gone, Boo hoo. get over it*." All of my friends glared at him.

I was in a bad mood so I said to Danny : "Y*ou’re just bitter that nobody will mourn you or care when you pass*! *For once in your life can you show at least a little tact? You might not care about someone’s passing but there are plenty of people who do. So the least you can do is not crap on people for grieving. If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all."*

Danny looked so distraught and said "*You didn’t have to be so cruel! You are just a brainwasihed loser who obsesses over celebrities to hide the fact your life is meaningless and hollow*". He then ran out of the room clearly devastated

I kinda felt slightly bad, but my friends said that they are glad I called out danny because he should learn to read a room.

  1. This is an ESH for me. He sounds annoying, and what he said was not very empathetic or nice. But what you said was also just mean imo. I think you could have called him out without being equally as tactless as he was. You basically told him nobody will care when he dies. I don’t like that insult.

  2. ESH.

    You said something incredibly ugly that never should have been said and he’s just a miserable person. You’re both in the wrong imo

  3. ESH. Danny is an insufferable edge-lord, but telling someone they are unlovable and will die alone is a massive escalation. You both sound exhausting to be around.

  4. lol and then everyone clapped for you being so brave and standing up against this evil monster

    Who was “clearly devastated”

    If “all your friends” were happy you said what you said, why the need to run to the internet for validation, though? Obviously you’re the winner here.

    This reads like a bad screenplay.

      1. lol. Exactly.

        It’s always the long quotes that give it away. We all know you ain’t said allllll that shit 😂

        We also all know that people in minor disagreements while chilling with a group of friends don’t really “run out of the room, clearly devastated”. It’s like a movie on the Disney channel circa 2007.
