I totally get where you’re coming from. I’ve also stopped discussing politics with friends and colleagues. Since COVID, I’ve found that many of my connections just don’t align anymore, and it’s been a big shift for me too. It’s tough when those old bonds are strained, but I think it’s also important to preserve relationships where there’s still mutual respect, even if we don’t agree on everything. Sometimes, stepping back from those discussions is the best way to protect those connections.

Humans are complex and unique. We can never agree with any individual on every single topic. It’s just not possible. And we have many different needs for fulfillment that cannot be met by the same people. I’m very competitive and sports allow me to satisfy that need. I still need normie friends for that.

We’re complex for sure. It would be good if everyone tried to step back a bit and gain perspective.
