me, listening to all viewpoints: wow, yeah, definitely, thank you for sharing.

me, preparing to form an opinion: actually, i think i have lead poisoning

i used to be very opinionated and argumentative, i was at one point in time, what one might call a flamer, i liked to think through problems and be right and show other people why they were wrong and should feel bad for being wrong.

and now im not like that, and i feel like i have a pipe sticking through my head.

i do have opinions, obviously, sometimes i write about them at length, and sometimes i get frustrated with the way that people respond to those opinions. i think the big difference is that i'm sleepy and burnt out.

it is.

to connect with other people, i have to wade in and connect. i have to decide what i like and look for someone who carries those things i like, i have to accept some friction from them and reveal the parts of myself that might grant friction to them. i have to know what things i don't like and won't accept, and if that person reveals something i won't accept, i need to know how to make safe or disconnect. and more and more and more. what a big thing.

idk how anybody carries it all in their head.
