Was about to say something to this effect . <| sep |> Well tbf I wasn ' t talking to tafo when I posted that . It ' s be kind of weird if I gave some random dude advice on how tafo could do better . <| sep |> VP has always been very shit onlineFTFY <| sep |> you ' re so mean ! <| sep |> Yeah ! Im gonna sleep well tonight . <| sep |> I thought it really added to their characters . It definitely explains what is behind Monica ' s constant competitiveness and micromanaging she grew up feeling like she had no control over anything in her life , and now she ' s preoccupied with controlling her environment . It also explains Ross ' s subtle sense of entitlement and his obliviousness about the feelings of others . He never had to worry about other people ' s feelings , because his family life revolved around catering to him . His passiveaggressiveness results from this assumption that other people should be anticipating his thoughts and needs , because that ' s what his parents always did . He literally does not know how to properly communicate his needs he never learned . Monica learned to either ignore her needs or to hammer away at them until somebody finally did something about it to shut her up .
