And why does this frustrate me so much? Because I cannot even obtain someone’s dissenting views, as they are too preoccupied with wanting to attack me. It’s seriously like dealing with children; they don’t have the mental capacity to hold a discussion without needing to squeeze their ego and feelings into the conversation.

I want to hear a constructive, informative description of your perspective. That’s all. I am asking for you to do the one thing you love to do most: talk about yourself. But, for the love of God, don’t give in to the childish impulse of throwing insults at me that deter meaningful inquiry. I am already being generous enough by trying to obtain a point of view that disagrees with my own. I don’t have my own views supported from hearing that. Yet, I still do it, because I know that thoughtful reasoning requires more than just one dominant perspective on a subject. So please—do me the favor of not needlessly interjecting with an insult.

It disappoints me that I live among a generation of people who cannot read past one paragraph without exclaiming, “It’s too much.”

There is genuinely no experience more frustrating than being completely unable to communicate with someone because their brain just shuts off after, “guh, information overload, I’m used to using Chat GPT to summarize everything but I can’t here.”

People need to incorporate active, critical reading more frequently in their lives.

Vent over.

i just saw the word god capitalized in here and the painful length of the post and assumed you were a “oh god there’s trans people on here i gotta be angry like a bozo!!!”

Sorry, I tend to use God’s (with a capital G) name in vain, it’s a very bad habit of mine lol

I’m not a pious Christian or anything, but I was raised under some Christian rules like not swearing and no sexual/inappropriate talk, etc. Hence, why I feel slightly guilty “invoking” God’s name in vain, so to speak

lmao lol it’s fine
