When you're a teenager sometimes you are into a girl that you like and she notices and acts all snobby.
Then sometimes you get into a date with her, but discovers she isn't what you expected. It was the snobbiness that made you more eager to know her.
Then, disappointed, you break up with her and she starts telling everyone you have bad breath, your friends are idiots, and that you are dumb and ugly (but she secretly still likes you).
When you're adult you start to realize that none of it is really that important. She is probably nicer than you remember. And you were just a kid.
All this HN discussion reminds me of those teenage years somehow. Like a twisted psychology distortion of it. It is kind of funny actually.
