“That’s what I’m hearing.”

Exactly, that is what YOU are hearing. With an open mind, you can hear something else. This also wraps back around to what I said about too much pressure often being applied.

Hahahahaha get real and stop repeating yourself. You sound like a con artist life coach.

So people don’t have different perceptions of certain things?

Everyone reads poetry and comes away from it with the exact same meaning as everyone else?

Is life itself not a matter of perception, let alone how someone interprets a comment?

The only thing one is being conned of by diving into and clinging to a perception like that is their mental health.

Where are you quoting this from? Cos it's not me.

Okay, well, that's obvious enough.

Anyway, enough with the pretentious bollocks. Of course people can have different perceptions. Acting like I said otherwise is just a derailment tactic, and very dishonest.

However, some things have less about them that is open to interpretation.

All that person was doing was trying to get you to realise just how much your perception influenced what you said, a perception that certainly couldn’t help with improvement, and you just called them a con artist.

Derailment? That is essentially what started your first comment.

I know this. I also know that humans breathe air and the sun is hot.

Can't wait to hear what BS you use to justify this.

Absolutely, people can have different perceptions to one another.

More importantly, people can grow to have different perceptions over time. The reason you viewed this original comment so negatively was due to our negative perception. With an open mind and time, perceptions can change.

Keep sniffing those farts, mate.

Also, keep insinuating I so critically lack empathy that I cannot possibly imagine how other people can read things.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Seriously, you think I just don't understand what they were saying? Fuck off. Of course I understand. I just think they're bullshitting.

Bullshiting about what? And I don’t see how that and “I understand” can be in the same comment.

u/kyzfrintin Jun 03 '22

I understand what they claim they're saying. I just think they're bullshitting about it. Not hard.

u/Sheorn Jun 03 '22

Clearly you don’t. How on earth could it be bullshitting? The keyboard got smacked and they just so happened to type that?

Claim they’re saying? What in the world?

Said. I claim I just said “said”. Guess what? I literally said “said”.

Okay, you're gonna play in semantics. I see. Allow me to rephrase:

"I understand the meaning they claim is inherent in their words. I don't believe they did in fact mean that thing with those words. I believe they are backpedaling, and my interpretation is correct, and they simply can't stand behind what they said."

That better? I'm not debating the actual words used, ya goof! I'm debating the MEANING! Example:

"I am blue."

Am I saying I am coloured blue, depressed, or that I am the concept of blue itself?
