Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • I understand your point but every single person that said that to me was unable to form their message neatly and efficiently.

    No hello. No asking if it’s okay to ask. Write concisely, state all your questions in first message, drop the masquarade of niceness. People who use that get similiar response - and without the awkward call-like “gimmie a sec, need to check” or worse “let me circle back to it later”. As soon as I get the info, you have it. In the meanwhile, you can focus on something else.

    Not saying this applies to you though - simply yoir comment caused a flood of bad memories of call-centric people being unable to use messages, mostly due to laziness.









  • Or, ya know, lack of trust. That’s me, woohoo. Had a lot of unworked trauma, my father obliged himself to oay for therapy. Still couldn’t do it. I trust no one, much less someone who was trained in ways of meddling with my psyche.

    It took me 2 years to take him up on it, and even then I couldn’t do more than to bruteforce myself to speak, putting even more distance between me and therapist. In a way, therapy was also traumatic. And no, not therapist fault, she was a golden woman with a big heart and open mind. I just don’t trust people.

    I do get what you are saying, and may offer some pov. I do not perceive anyone who breaks into my house as human, simply because I am aware of how weak I am. Not a gun owner, but if I am in kitchen, trust me I am grabbing a knife - anything to level the playing field - and setting myself on fight rather than flight.

    But it’s mostly fear and adrenaline. If something happened, I have no doubt I would go for it to secure mine and my partner security. How much of a wreck I’d be later remains to be seen, though for sure it would hit me hard.

    Honestly, not much difference between that and chihuahua. Fight to kill out of fear.
