@normandy Ever get tired of people ignoring the point of a discussion in order to get their emotions out and in the way of everything?
-
@takebananaakenji Definitely
-
@takebatcaveakenji @normandy This is why I will often break off discussions when it becomes obvious to me that people don't care to consider my position.
I don't exist to validate their own beliefs or make them feel good about themselves.-
@maiyannah @normandy And that's why I either block or mute some people who have either shown a propensity of doing it, or are so obvious in their behavior that they definitely have said propensity.

@takepapayaakenji @normandy It's a human response, really. They recognize it as an "attack", psychologically, often regardless of your intention, and people are not always self-aware enough to ask themselves if it's actually a good thing, or something that would help them, they act entirely on that impulse. It's common enough that I can't really look down on it, but I'm not going to waste my time on people who can't control their own impulses when they are self-harming, I'm not getting paid for that anymore and I barely get enough time for what matters in life, let alone what doesn't.
-
@takebananaakenji @normandy It basically comes down to a lack of self-awareness and personal consistency, and you can usually tell this in their positions they push. It's regrettable, but until they realize that themselves, you're probably wasting your time arguing with them. That kind of introspection isn't something you can force on people without a lot of effort, and that kind of time and energy is probably better spent elsewhere.
-
@maiyannah @normandy I don't have the 'emotional energy' anymore to deal with those people. Heck, even the stuff that gets them bent out of shape in the first place doesn't get me worked up or anything because I lack said energy.
-
@takegrapeakenji @normandy Oh we all have things that get us animated, but I think as people mature emotionally they realize a lot of stuff that upsets us is detrimental to ourselves to get on about.
-
@takeappleakenji @normandy Unfortunately, one side-effect of rapid social networking which we have nowadays, is people aren't forced to emotionally mature unless they want to. There is no shortage of people who will validate and encourage childish and immature behaviours.

@maiyannah @normandy I really wonder how government will progress as these 'aged children' end up in office. It's definitely starting to happen.
-
@takegrapeakenji @normandy Growing pains as we adapt to technology. It's often been noted that technology is maturing and developing faster than we are, and this is pretty correct to be honest. We're getting there though, as the pushback against the "social justice" mindset shows.
-
@maiyannah @normandy Maybe another one of those 'growing pains' is learning to not constantly bury ourselves in our devices for that sweet, sweet dopamine release when outdoors. Also, not letting the paranoia of our surroundings and those around us from getting to buried in our devices get the best of us.
-
@takegrapeakenji @normandy I'm guilty of this a bit myself, I need my music, it's kind of a coping mechanism because it keeps other, more PTSDy thoughts out of my head. But otherwise ... I make a point of not using cellular data. If I'm not intentionally on a public wifi, I'm unreachable, period. Because if I'm out in that kind of spot, it's quite frankly, to be alone and have some personal time.
