I got interested in Philosophy around the same time I started getting really interested in Psychology and Spirituality.

Got into those to try to understand the mindset that’s lead to our hyper divided political landscape here in the States.

Akechi was cute, but that boy gots problems.

You just can’t tell the difference between real and fake news these days, smh

Don’tcha knhow.

I prefer MegaThem.

I have a hotdog in my car.

uwu

You’re… not wrong… 🤔

Thanks for the insight. It’ll be something to keep in mind going forward.

The place I experienced this the worst was a job where I was in a leadership position, lol. (I have since come to the conclusion that I’m not the leader type)

I’m just really direct, and get told I need to consider how I say things… The only example coming to mind is something I don’t really want to talk about openly on Lemmy. I’ll give a vague represantation though

(My statements are verbatim, the replies are paraphrased)

I’ll say “You didn’t do XYZ.” - They say “But I have done X”

Next time I try “Have you done XYor Z?” - Then I hear “Why are you interrogating me?”

“What have you done?” - “Why are you being accusatory?”

Those are all plain and simple black and white questions. I have yet to figure out the code I was supposed to speak.

Those examples are from the same person, but I get this reaction from most people when I ask simple questions

Not 100% sure what you’re asking, but I think it’s about the flowery language and “code”?

Not when you’re speaking in code…

Well now you tell me… ;)

Neither. They expect us to figure out and speak in the flowery language and codes that they use, and get upset when we can’t, when I feel like it would be easier for them to just -listen- to what we’re saying, because it’s usually in black and white.

This post is my lived experience.

Oh my fucking god, this. Why are people like this?

“I have no idea what you’re talking about”

to

“Why are you mansplaining??” In 6 seconds…

YYYY.MM.DD

Hyphens are overrated

Have you ever bought something that seemed worth it at first, but found out later it was a bad deal?

Hate typically affects you far more than who you hold it for.

It is for everyone. It’s how we work. Outside of maybe certain types of mental illness or disability. It’s also very easy to feel like we can carry it without consequence, especially for younger people (I’d say mid-30’s and below)

“I can hate someone without it affecting other parts of my life” is just an objectively false statement. I know there is virtually nothing a Lemmy rando can do to change your mind, but one day you’ll feel the weight, I promise.

No one is special enough to be able to carry such a core human emotion without consequence.

I’m not trying to argue, but unless there is something about how you process emotions that places you in a vanishingly small percentile, you’re gonna pay for it.

It takes emotional bandwidth to carry hate, whether you think about it often or not.

It’s not a question of right or wrong, or whether it’s deserving or not. You’re paying for it as long as you’re carrying it, so I would ask if it’s still worth it.
