is it normal to want to argue with people sometimes but not in an actual argumentitive way. like, just getting all of your thoughts out all at once without having to engage in a real conversation i feel like real conversations can distract from what i actually want to say sometimes. it's easy to misspeak or misinterpret the other person when speaking face to face, because you don't have as much time to process the information and come to a reasonable conclusion. maybe that's why i like text-based arguments better. you can get everything you want to say out, then edit it when needed to make the actual words of your argument match up better to your true feelings about it. but on the other hand, i feel like maybe the opposite of that is true in a way. maybe when speaking face to face, you're forced to be more honest. you don't have time to go back and deeply consider every one of the other person's claims. you have to make a snap decision on whether or not you agree with their argument as a whole. and maybe this forces you to be more honest about what those feelings you have are. and maybe it's also somewhat cowardly? to only want to speak in a setting that allows only you to speak. or, maybe not. i like having conversations with people online, i like hearing peoples' opinions on things. i don't think i don't like real-life arguments because they allow other people to argue with me, i think i just don't like being misrepresented in the heat of the moment, either by myself, or the person i'm arguing with. or maybe that justification is just something i've made up to make myself feel more comfortable about disliking arguing face to face. i don't know. i just think interacting with people in real life is exhausting. i wish there were a way to let people know exactly what i was thinking without having to deal with the social cues about when and how it is acceptable to say what i want to say. and having to find the exact words to say what i mean on the spot. but maybe that's just life. it's certainly a skill i don't have right now anyway what was my question again? oh, whatever, what's your stance on doors
surprisingly 2-sided
