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.
I understand.
When they get emotional and raging that means you've done your part. You planted the truth seed. Let them cook. As for opinions and truth mombs, that's what decentralized blogs are for. Like https://blurt.blog
Not really into rage baiting. It's just a waste of time.
There is zero reason for me to make people crash out and throw a fit just because I feel like it.
I used to do that a lot when I was a teenager purely because I was bored and I liked seeing how people reacted ... I was really into social experimentation and freaking people out.
I have definitely dialed it back a lot.
Stating my ideas doesn't necessarily mean I'm planting a truth seed — it just means that I'm being unnecessarily honest with details that could be easily skipped over.
That's what nostr is for.
I can say anything I want, be absolutely ridiculous, talk shit, blurt out random shit, be weird... and it doesn't matter because I don't know anybody here, and I'm not planning on meeting anybody from here -- it's not going to affect my real life.
Oh no. Not rage baiting. I don't do that. Narcissist do that for sure. I'm a truth teller and seeker. That's all. If they rage that's on them. I'm not responsible for their trauma. But if anyone asks I'm going to be honest whether they like what they hear or not. I don't care to have friends. I have acquaintances. Mostly have been friendly. Thank god. As for the fakes they just filter themselves out or block me. I could care less. It's another dodged bullet for me.
