Nobody is born a “damyankee” - trash comment and not worthy of entertaining. Thanks for playing!
I didn’t realise that was a trigger for you, sorry about that. When you’ve recovered, do you think you could comment on the phenomenon of these “fans” of the South? As in, do you maybe regard them as fellow freedom-lovers, or are they kind of embarrassing, a bit cringe, trying too hard, kind of thing? I’m honestly just curious. Like, there’s plenty of Americans who express affinity with Ireland and Irishness, and… it’s awkward. I’m just wondering if there’s a similar thing there.

I have no issue with the words I speak. I can be wrong and that’s ok. Doesn’t bother me.
On what issue was the last time you changed your mind?
I dunno tbh. Can’t really say off top.
What I mean is that you chose to repeat those words. You chose to say them. Seems cowardly to me for you to brush off any responsibility for the impact of what you’re saying, no?
There are a whole host of reasons therapy would benefit you, friend. You should really look into some professional assistance. It could really unlock your world.
Thanks. But no, I’m good.
Let me endure those consequences then?
What consequences do you perceive yourself as enduring?
Do you take any responsibility for the impact the words you say have on other people?
I can give you an imaginary but basic example if that helps.
If you tell me a compliment and it makes me feel good, do you take responsibility for your contribution to how I feel?
If you tell me an insult and it makes me feel bad, do you take responsibility for your contribution to how I feel?
I guess - I enjoy complimenting people. Do I feel
Bad at times, sure. Do I feel bad that I tell the truth? No I don’t. Sometimes folks need to hear shit (myself included.)
I also think people have the ability to choose their reaction. Like that clown that asked about “damyankee” or whatever. He’s not worth acknowledging so i didn’t.
I had one of those i worked with little while ago. I asked him if his ancestors came from our state and then asked why he would want a flag they spilled blood over. Did not really have much to say after that. Probably still has one in his bedroom…

This is what wanting attention looks like ^^. Must be triggered.

Aww another one? Starting to rack
Up here. 2/2 now. It’s easy enough really, some folks here are worth talking too.
Btw (it’s not like the thread is for me) (it is) but I only came here cuz I was asked. I mean, I know it goes against what you just said but who’s counting? 
What do you mean? Honest question.
I’ve been told it’s shitty of me to not be offended by things people say etc. I choose not to be offended and it serves me well. Everyone has encountered people who are hostile etc. I don’t let it determine how my day goes. I think everyone would be better off with that mindset.
Has anything ever offended you?
