Sometimes it's just easier to not say all of what I'm thinking. Then I have to sit there and listen to their opinions and thoughts on my thoughts and it's exhausting sometimes. It really depends on the situation.
I used to have 0 filter.
People have a tendency to take things personally, or as an outright attack on them. Once they get emotional, everything becomes more tedious. The vibe is bad. The tension in the air is awkward.
And sometimes my thoughts ARE just mean.
Like I think animal print clothing or clothes made from slaughtered animals is just fucking gross, cringe, and should be outlawed to make my life better.
But I don't run around telling people how fucking terrible they look when they wear cheetah print.
If they ask I'll say it's not my style... I won't actually tell them that my eyes want to vomit and I'd prefer them not be in my line of sight.
Because then they'll either get mad and try to make me feel bad about how I look and harm my self esteem because all of their self esteem is wrapped up in superficial decoration.
Plus I actually believe people should be able to look how they want, even if it makes me want to gouge out my eyes.
