And what other people count as ‘not a spoiler’ is often very, very misjudged.

I feel this, my friend tends to tell me about stuff they like that I haven’t seen/read/played/etc. and is very relaxed about what they consider spoilers. Thankfully our tastes don’t overlap much so it’s usually not a problem, but occasionally they’ll start talking about something I’m interested in and I have to be like, wait please don’t lol. I always feel a little bad for it because I’m glad they want to share their interests with me, but I’m so picky about spoilers and if I don’t stop them then they will say something I don’t want to hear…
