I’m not quite sure how to word this, but does anyone else find it hard to have calm discussions with others due to seeing things as more black and white? I often feel really strongly about particular things and ignore the grey area and just get really defensive when someone seems to say anything slightly different to my own opinion. It takes me a while to understand and acknowledge different perspectives. After I’ve taken the (long) time to do so I can clearly see where they’re coming from and will maybe change my own view slightly as well, but it doesn’t necessarily get better the next time the topic comes up and I still react too strongly.
because arguments are multifaceted.... you may see their point of view, and perhaps even agree with them... but then you oppose them and say they are wrong based on their conduct of how they said the same equivalent was wrong before so now you use their previous arguments against them to say they are wrong now if they said the same thing was wrong before... it all depends
