I recount a tale of unintended consequences when trying to befriend a classmate named Stephy during my first year of junior college. I wanted to benefit from her position as the class monitor, but my attempt to establish a friendship went awry. A miscommunication about her TikTok videos led to her blocking me. A year later, I was unblocked, and I took this experience to heart, learning never to mock someone's interests. Tune in to hear how a blunder turned into a valuable lesson in empathy and understanding.
