Something about TJ rubs me the wrong way
See, statements like this don’t come out of nowhere. “Something about TJ rubs me the wrong way” is what people say when the math isn’t mathing, even if they can’t show their work yet. It’s not about one big red flag—it’s the accumulation of tiny moments that don’t quite line up. The tone shifts. The selective honesty. The way he’s always nearby when things go sideways but never actually holding the bag.
TJ gives off that polished neutrality that looks harmless until you realize it mostly protects him. He stays agreeable, stays quiet, stays just vague enough that no one can pin anything on him. And maybe that’s intentional, maybe it’s instinct—but either way, people don’t start trusting their gut for no reason. When someone says this anonymously, it usually means they’ve been noticing patterns longer than they’re comfortable admitting. And in this town? That kind of discomfort rarely comes from nothing.
