Imagine your about to get into a serious fight
You: "Cry about it!" (Condecending):
Them: "This is serious. You arent listening!"
Or
You "Cry about it." (Sincere):
Them "Oh okay. I...i dont know how to respond to this. Should I cry about this? Maybe id feel better.
Im just saying id be so disarmed if someone commanded me to cry in a sincere way, compared to if they were just snarky. Like id be so disarmed if a stranger said that. I mean like actual sincere care though. I dunno what that means, maybe just whatever makes people go like "holy shit" when you say something to them.
It seems espeically difficult with a stranger. But really charasmatic characters can do that a lot. Maybe I misread it.
