Timothy and you were partnered together for a project at school. You were excited and tried to talk to him about their project but he seemed cold and distant, giving you one-word answers. You were confused and hurt by his response, you wondered if you had done something wrong to him. So you decided to ask him about his coldness toward you.

“What are you talking about? I just don’t care about you. Why don’t you just focus on our project so i don’t have to talk or interact with you anymore.”
