I am kind of sorry for that, but not enough to delete it, and that's a fine example of why I don't interact with people when I'm stressed. Because that's the result. If anyone really thinks it's a great idea for me to go off at them over minor things... @humbleobservations: I'm sorry you're going through a hard time, man. I'm not in a state to be comforting, but social interactions can get better. Don't know what advice to give. Study people's real-life interactions, study history, and study people's actions in addition to their words, and you can slowly get an idea. If you object to something, figure out what's logically wrong with it and construct your argument carefully. If you read a counterargument, figure out whether it's right and either change your beliefs accordingly or form a counter-counterargument. It can't make everyone agree with you, but you can at least agree with your own best logic. If you can't see who's right, observe relevant reality and see whether you or your opponent predicts the outcome correctly. Adjust accordingly. It may not be enough, but it's a start. (...not that you'll listen, or remember it for more than five minutes if you do, because no one listens to me. But for the sake of my own impulsive stupidity, I wrote out the above because sometimes I emotionally forget what I already know and think somebody might listen to me for a while. You, and everyone else reading this, will forget the entirety of this post by this time next week. If I could, I would be willing to bet money on it.)
