Do you avoid discussing some topics online even if you have something you'd like to say about them?

Do you avoid discussing some topics online even if you have something you'd like to say about them? - Sopuli

I’ve been doing this for some time now. Even if it’s something that I consider important. I just don’t see the value in participating in a discussion that I have seen countless times already where the same points and arguments happen over and over again. One that I know wilI turn ugly. It’s exhausting and I’ve decided to just opt-out.

People are only ready to receive so much Truth.

And even especially then, likely with anger.

… and ofc that includes ourselves as well btw.

It’s not all that different from irl conversations then, except you cannot look in each others’ eyes to gauge sincerity. So ask yourself: why have irl conversations at all - especially when you know they will turn ugly? We cannot really help you further b/c you have hidden behind an alt account here, though I hope this gives you some stuff to think about.

Honestly, my only thought right now is “?”

I don’t understand this, do you think I’m someone else from here that’s using an alt? Because if you do, I’m not, you got it wrong.

I do avoid some conversations IRL because I know they will get ugly and me giving my opinion isn’t necessary or important. There’s a saying in my country about never discussing politics or religion. Seeing how some people can get when you disagree with them, I’ve found it wise to follow it.
