Learning how to talk to people.

Mutual respect is not always necessary for a conversation or argument. But is necessary for a conversation or an argument to go well.

Talking down to someone simply because they don't agree with you is bullshit child behaviour and I won't ever tolerate it. If you find it difficult when you're arguing to differentiate between a person you supposedly care about and just another annoying troll trying to rile you up, that's a problem. It's a problem for them and it is certainly a problem for you.

I was not raised to be spoken down to, its just not in my nature to be anybody's door mat anymore. I don't care who you are to me, what you mean to me or how long I've known you for, the moment you start to treat me as lesser than you because we are having a disagreement, I'm putting your baby arse in time out. Cool it with the I'm better than you attitude, you're not.

It's also really easy to spot when you're conversing with a person who thinks that they are smarter than you. It's all in the wording. That is another behaviour I'm not here for. Don't talk to me like I'm a fucking child, especially not when we're the same fucking age. It's disgusting to be spoken to like you're being scolded by someone you care about who is NOT an authority figure over you.

It makes my blood boil to think that I'll probably never get an apology because they already think they're right about everything and so talking to people like they're foolish or dumber than you is just a given.

It's not okay. I won't put up with it anymore. I am not the type of person you can push around and abuse into agreeing with you. I've dealt with bigger men than you mate, I'm not intimidated by your intellect, I have my own and better still I've an open mind to go with it. So while you're bathing in all that knowledge you think you already have, I'll be out actually learning new information and improving myself. Oh and not treating people I care about like dirt.


Rant over.

Blah blah don't be an arsehole.

Love,
