B: Don't ask. It was good but just so chaotic.

A: Really? What happened?

B: Are you sure you wanna know? It's a long story...

A: I think so. Sit down, let's catch up. OK, I've got time.

A: Oh, Aubrey, how was the cake you made?
B: You don't wanna know. I totally botched it.
A: I don't know, I've done that before.
B: Me too! I made an angel food cake when I was younger. For some reason I had this obsession with angel food cake too.

当别人用“It‘s a long story”或“Not so well”开头时，他们往往在寻求共情和倾听。

10:26 1.don't ask
when somebody says don't ask.
 they don't like an invitation to actually talk about it. it's just letting the person know that there's a story coming.
it means don't ask it means like ask me and I'm going to tell you things were terrible 
if you don't wanna talk about it you'll just say it was fine.
 
A:how was busy season going for you?
B: oh Aubrey . don't ask ! it's a mess.
 my accounts are all over the place and my deadlines are extremely tight
