There's a difference between sharing your point of view and continuously schooling someone as if they're clueless or as though only YOU know anything . One is positive, it's interesting and productive. The other is just intensely annoying.
@Florence Well said. I dislike, as many do, being talked down to. My experiences have value. So do yours and everyone else's. To say otherwise is shortsighted. And if I ask what time it is, for heaven's sake, don't tell me how to build a watch. THAT's irritating.I hate condescension.
@XaoslordErie You put that much better than I did. This is entirely what I meant. ❤️
@Florence But you planted the seed, which triggered memory, and that has value, too. Thanks!
@XaoslordErie Thank you. And you articulated the main point there too, which is out of sincere interaction comes a type of symbiotic thing. If that makes sense. The other thing shuts down the conversation. Thank you.
