Well when I had friends (IRL)they didn't tell me what they didn't like about me. Maybe if I get friends again I'll ask them that. Or not.

People hate how I like to jump from topic to topic in a convo, it might seem like I'm disinterested in a topic they were talking about.

I'm a messy, loud eater.  Especially if I'm eating something I enjoy then people tell me I make orgasm noises.

My sleeping pattern is shit.  As a kid this annoyed my parents, in later years it annoyed girls who I went to bed with but couldn't sleep next to.  This is a really big one because I think it's probably fucking things up with a girl I like at the moment.

I repeat stories, it drives my wife mad.

There's one I forgot. I do that as well, and it annoys some people. Others, I think they're just humoring me ...

"I'm a cunt" would have been much more economical ... and true, for that matter.

Drich still thinks the word "evidence" is just a tactic we use to reinforce our scientific beliefs...

Nothing wrong with doing that. I don't understand why people seem to want their shit to be sugar-coated. At the end of the day, it's still shit. No matter how much sugar you put on it. If people can't take straight up honest opinions with any sort of maturity, that's on them. 

I often resort to telling others that I am only responsible for what I say, not what they choose to hear.

And welcome back! You have been missed!!

My boyfriend does that.  I just nod silently as though I have not heard the same story twenty times already.

My wife does not remain silent anymore. I get cut off with a curt "heard it"

As Always... a little from column A and a little from column B.

I was having some fun, but wraped it in truth. even then took all that and opened it for discussion.

Ah, no. I simply believe that "evidence" is subject to interpretation, and it takes faith to choose one SCIENTIFIC interpretation over another SCIENTIFIC interpretation, and you guys are too... "educated" to see the great expenditure of faith that you need. Which is why you fail.

Having "faith" is also subject to interpretation.

Of course not. I do my best to be decent in disagreement, but even polite disagreement irritates the shit out of some people. And when I get rude, well, yeah, we've left Happy Valley.

Thanks, much appreciated.

IDK, maybe that I'm too silent. Someone mentioned that the other day.

I don't really care to take much notice in these things. I'm pretty sure it would be for something stupid and petty. But i am kinda curious now. 

I would like to invite any members who dislike or hate me to answer why. If they have the courage.
