This can be viewed as Tommy shrugging ''off'' what Daria's just said, as he manages to keep his voice even and doesn't care to address her points: he simply cuts her down and carries on as normal. On the other hand, he does actually leave the area (which Daria wanted in the first place) and he's immediately going to go check out his goalpost and think of being admired, and before he goes he's launching a vicious verbal assault: this implies he was very much bothered by what she said and wants to both silence her and recover the situation/his ego. |

His view on Daria is also up for debate, as later episodes would make it clear that Daria ''does'' deliberately try to keep people away and is more emotionally fragile than the S1 episodes had indicated; Tommy could be making an accurate judgement, making him very good at reading people when he wants to. However, Daria didn't show any sign of being bothered that Tommy was right - what bothered her was everyone viewed her like that when "I'm not miserable, I'm just not ''like them''." Tommy's comment itself was shrugged off until he was dead. |

Based on the thick armour that both parties usually show, it's entirely possible ''neither'' party was bothered by what the other had said and (if not for the death) would've thought that they'd 'won'. |
