@aeva This was a few years ago, on Twitter.

A mutual, who I'd met in person, replied to me posting a link to a new blog post with something to the effect of "Oh great! Always love your posts. Usually don't understand a word though."

They thought they were giving me a compliment, what they actually gave me were the seeds of an existential crisis.

And I know it was hyperbole, but the "don't understand a word" has been living rent-free in my head ever since.
