Returning to AF with a Different Approach
|
Glad that you're intelligence is overriding your emotions... A very rare feat indeed ... well done...
Tell me, out of curiosity, do you need to make these compromises irl? I'd say yes? 
No God, No fear.

I think the most concise way I can sum up my new approach is: I am going for dispassionate rather than passionate language in my posts.
Maybe this is a blessing in disguise Hammy.
Forcing yourself to adjust to "our" protocols may be exactly what you need to function normally irl. After all, we ARE the society, just an online version of it. well done, either way matey... We know how much you love this place...

Doesn't one have to have left in order to return?
 J/k, Hamz. Do what you gotta do.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Everything in moderation... Works for 99% of the people 99% of the time... You know what I notice? I lot of "I can't." You don't give yourself any room for growth. I bet you'd be surprised at what you can do when you try. FYI, this was a much abridged version, and I read the whole of it. Hope this works for you, really.

And I'm sure plenty you've tried that have worked. Everyone fails.

It's the things that don't work (and that I also have an explanation for why it's not working for me) that I tend to not do. I mean, for starters, if failing repeatedly over and over may lead to negative consequences it's probably best to stop right? Depending on the consequences. If I'm with a group of friends and trying to be myself leads to me saying things that piss them all off and makes them hate me... I'm not particularly keen with experimentation in that case. 
It really sounds like you have trouble with tact (not a value statement, but just an observation). Most people just instinctively know when to say, and when not to say, certain things, and how to get a point across in a way that won't immediately upset the other person. But if you're not wired that way, I can understand how it would be difficult... why are certain things okay to say in one setting and not another? Why do people react so defensively when I'm only pointing out the truth? Why do people think I'm being emotional when I'm simply trying to explain how their stance/opinion/reaction is illogical, stupid, or something else along those lines?
