1. Yeah, so? Different people live in different states. That doesn't make my point about divorce less valid. 2. Who said my world is so deeply broken? That feels like an unnecessary assessment to force your worldview to match why my outlook is so different from yours. Frankly it's a little rude. I have meaningful familial bonds. They aren't inherently different from friendships just because they're family. I am closer to my siblings because we all understand that there is nothing more special about our bond than what we have already put into our relationship (which is a lot). I have less of a relationship with my parents because they don't understand this. I live a pretty happy and good life as I see it, partially because I've learned this. 3. Every bond is breakable, it's just that the more you put into it, the harder it is to break (or more extreme the action that would break it).

4. I don't know what you mean by all relationships are a trade, but it's the most similar thing I see to my other assessments except that you have a strange carveout for points 1-3.

You are too young to know any better. And too angry to understand what everyone is saying to you. You make your own world of explanations to feel like everything is ok.

This person is angry at you. This is because you are being rude to them.

But this single conversation isn't representative of the entire rest of their life! Just because they are angry with you does not mean they are angry with everyone else! If you can't see that, it's because you are a narcissist.

You think what you are saying is what everyone is saying? On the contrary! I'm a person, and I'm right here saying something else!

> You make your own world of explanations to feel like everything is ok.

We've just illustrated that is what you are doing right here. This is a pretty clear-cut case of projection.

Are you just too old to know any better? I don't buy that sentiment at all: if you can read, you can learn.

> Whether it be at me or at someone else, rationality does not follow.

Nah, I'm angry with you, as a rational reaction to your narcissism. You should do something about that.

You seem to think you're an emotionless robot. And I think I have found that the people who think they are emotionless rational robots, are the must subject to the whims of emotions.

Something to consider working on...

At minimum, a person should be capable of keeping their emotions separate when drafting text.

If you can’t, that’s something to work on.

I mean, I'm not taking advice on this from you. You have done nothing to convince me you're worth listening to.

same can be said vice versa.

lol, wasn't angry to begin with, but I definitely was angered by the dismissive response. Like if I'm giving them the time of day, it would be nice of them to at least pretend like they're gonna give it to me...

> And too angry to understand what everyone is saying to you.

Just gonna jump in here and say, I was not angry in this post. So that's just a wrong assessment...

> You are too young to know any better.

I don't know how old you are, but if your argument depends on me being in a specific age range, I'm going to guess you're too conceited to have an actual conversation with. In practice, I think the signs of this were there from the start but I engaged anyways, so that's my bad. But uhh, stop being rude on the internet? It sounds like you should know better for however old you might be...

I too have felt “not angry” even when I was. It was cloaked in something else far more damaging to personal growth. I feel you suffer from the same.

Careful you don't hurt yourself getting down from that high horse of yours. I guess alternatively you could just keep living up there, but it sounds lonely.

OOC, what in the initial message makes you think I was angry when I'm telling you I was not? (Oh all-knowing-being who can tell me what's inside my head that I cannot even see)

the other person also thought you were angry.

You said it first, they were responding. That's not an answer to the question.

they still thought you were angry.

Right, the question was, "what made you think I was angry?"
