“You know what you’ve done” (1 Viewer)

[athenaaa]

I don’t understand the phrase “you know what you’ve done” because I genuinely don’t most the time. I don’t pick up on social cues very well.​

If you have no idea what you did the best response is "then you know I don't feel bad about it". Be ready to run though...

Bonus points if it’s something nobody actually did or something someone else did and you were blamed

If I ever say this to you, know that the thing you've done is make me smile.

The older I get, the more I appreciate what BS it is to think other people are these magical mind readers. I try to combat it myself by making more of an effort to tell people what's going on in my head, particularly when it's something nice about them.

This also reminds me... my mom is so convinced that she's so good at this that, when I still lived at home, she would be certain I'd be upset about something and would ask me "what's wrong?" over and over until the thing that was wrong was her bugging me about something being wrong. She also thinks my dad secretly ~knows~ what she wants him to do, and then vents to me about how he doesn't do those things, and boy howdy, thinking other people just understood things was such a fuckup mistake I made in my earlier relationships.

Anyway, tangent aside, I think even people who are good at reading social cues in a very specific setting don't actually pick up on this broad stuff either. I mean, you most likely did a lot of things just living your life, how tf are you supposed to know which, specifically, set someone off? Unless "you know what you did" is being made as a shocked exclamation to you sharing that you just did a fucked up thing, I don't think most people actually magically know either.

The laugh is at the accuser in those cases for being dumb.

How are we supposed to know what we did if you don’t say exactly why you’re upset

Exactly. My go-to response is "I don't, and since you won't tell me, don't be surprised if it happens again."
