You're hurting me right now by not tipping me for this comment. I expect at least $100 in order to not feel hurt.


You're correct, you are more hurt than if I gave you 100 dollars. Duh, this is obvious.

Consider the negation: you’re not hurt if I give you 100 dollars. Or, rephrased, you're better off if I give you 100 dollars. Is this true? Yes. If I queried all 7.5 billion people on Earth, they’d all say yes.

Again, the tricky part is I don't care. That's a different thing.
