I know that's natural, but I feel like it's been happening a lot lately, and most of the things I'm thinking about lately relate to this, relate to my past and how that relates to my future, and they're not necessarily theoretical building blocks or anything, but they are important to me.
Maybe I'm missing the point, or maybe I don't know how to respond...I don't know what to say.
They're not even opinions, they're just observations/realizations about myself.
But they seem to contain opinions, and a much more stable, unchanging view of your identity... But if I take them as non-opinions, I don't know what I can say. Congratulations?
But it's like if it doesn't have to do with what you care about, with these big ideas that I am so afraid of, it just gets passed over and is never spoken about. And to me that is like skipping over my life. It is like skipping over what makes my life important and worth living
How? Why? Maybe I just don't get your life, or what you think is important, but, well, I'm confused as to how this seems to you to be what I'm doing. Confused as fuck.
and what makes it worse for me is that I'm skipping over this in order to have an argument about something I don't even have an opinion on or care about.
You don't care about what would best make a democratic society? Because that's what I was trying to talk about. Obviously badly.
And I feel like this is what I'm always doing these days, bypassing my own interests for someone else's.
I'm sorry. I don't expect you to do that for me. But what are your interests?

And this is really, really upsetting to me.
Again, I'm sorry.
