or is this person just not getting something
I'm in this rp on another site and my character is a big smart alec, so when one of his friends calls him "spectacles" under his breath, mine goes, "You know, I was just thinking how it's said that when a person lacks one of the six senses, one or more of the other senses might make up for it. For example, someone with poor sight might have exceptional hearing. Interesting, isn't it?" I had him say this as a response to the guy who called him specs, sort of a play on the fact even though he has very poor eyesight he could still hear what the other boy said despite it being spoken very softly. but I didn't want this to be directly spoken towards that one character, so I had mine say it to another classmate (one controlled by the person who is confused by this) as if just talking about something unrelated. I thought I was quite clear that he was only saying it to her only because he wanted the comment to be indirectly directed to the friend even though he said it to that person's character, you get me? I even stated something along the lines of: He voiced the comment casually as if it were about the pleasant weather they were having rather than a response directed towards the other blonde. after the comment itself.
this person's next reply tells me they didn't understand what I was trying to do at all and the way they replied really just... doesn't go with the flow I was trying to go with. and this isn't the first time in the rp they haven't gotten something (not just from me, others too) that's been done or said
even so, I'm starting to get slightly stressed that maybe what I was trying to say made no sense to other people either...?? I know since you guys haven't read the rp the problem might not be very clear, but I want to know if the problem is with me or not bc I worry a lot about small things like this.

I don't think it's a problem with you
I think the person just didn't get it because it's hard to convey things through rp sometimes? like, since it was stated that the character whispered--instead of people hearing the whisper--it might be less clear because of that?

That's honestly a good rp response. I don't see a single problem. Especially because it ties in another rp too.

hoo boy this is def a pet peeve of mine
occasionally u get partners that basically need to have their hand held through the entire thing and when something like this happens ("i don't get it....") i'm like ?? How could i possibly have explained it any more clearly to you ??
your writing is fine, it's likely that they were just confused for some reason. i've had partners like that before and it honestly usually doesn't work out lmao
nothing against whoever it is this is just a whole ton of salt for me tbh
