Decline the offer, letting her know how you feel.

"No, thanks," you say, "I appreciate you pretending to be interested, but I prefer authentic people."

"What are you trying to say?" she asks you. "Are you saying I'm not authentic?"

A little puzzled at her vapid response, you say, "that's literally exactly what I said, yes."

"So, you think I'm, what, unauthentic or something?"

"Inauthentic," you correct. That's the last straw; by correcting her grammar, you've finally hurt her feelings. The woman starts a sniffle, which slowly turns into a full sob. "Oh, shit," you blurt out, "I'm sorry," but it's too late; you are a hurter of feelings. You wake up feeling the full weight of having been a mild detriment to a person's temporary emotional state.

You are a special breed of callous monster.
