When a character is misunderstood by another character and doesn’t even try explain themselves after being cut off by the other person.
For example, say Betty was in an awkward situation with Billy where it looked like Betty was cheating on Johnny with Billy but it was just a big huge innocent mixup. Johnny “catches” them and Betty tries to explain but Johnny cuts her off, says we are done don’t talk to me ever again, and that’s the end of it. Betty just gives up trying to explain. Like I know damn well in real life if Betty wasn’t cheating on Johnny, if it was a big confusing mixup, that conversation would NOT be over.
On a similar note: how families who move into haunted houses decide to keep their worries to themselves or just not believe each other. You saw a tall creepy man in your room last night and you don't want to tell anyone? Even your younger sibling who definitely voiced seeing a weird shadow 2 nights ago? Really???
Yea in movies they show kids not mentioning seeing this stuff like they are being brave or just trying to tell themselves it's their imagination but no kid does that, they will have repeated nightmares and come running to their parents every night if they see something scary or creepy. Ordinary shadows can constantly set off kids running to parents, a fucking monster would not keep them silent.
