The new people don't suddenly become agreeable doormats when they turn into a regular. They become friends. That's why they're friends (the honesty).

It's a sad state of social dysfunction that so many people are so afraid of disagreement. That aversion is the source of all the conflict because white lies only paint you into a corner.

Actual friends don’t care. I wouldn’t mind an extremely disagreeable drunk argument about some hard political stuff with friends. Would just write it off the next day.

Cutting people out of your lives too quickly leaves you with just boring agreeable people.

I have no issue with disagreement. I know a lot of people who get heated though.

Not everyone can handle it.
