Now I'm really confused here, Musicman! 😵💫
WonderGirl made 3 separate claims for her rationale in choosing to close her window blinds instead of keeping them open.
- She has northern exposure and she gets morning sun which can be hot in the morning and beside that, it shines directly into her eyes, so she blocks it out.
- In her last place, she said she had southern exposure and consequently baked from presumably the afternoon sun, so she probably blocked it out too which I think most people do anyway if their air conditioning is working against when the window shades are left open to the afternoon sun.
- And then she said that she likes her solitude, which presumably means she likes the inner peace she feels when she doesn't have to see the activity of the world going on outside her window, which is achieved of course by closing the blinds during the daytime and probably at night as well.
Yet in your response to her, you replied "I am sorry to hear that ☹️ ".
What confuses me about your response is, what exactly are you sorry to hear?

You are sorry to hear that if she feels the need to keep her blinds closed to keep the excessive light and heat out, which is only common sense to do so anyway, that you feel it is your place to remind her that her actions are HER choice and not anyone else's and that you now respect her for exercising her inherent right to use common sense in the day to day functioning of her own home?
Is that really what you meant by "I am sorry to hear that ☹️"? Like, seriously! 🤔
