| I'm sorry. And definitely have been there (or similar I'd say). In the conditions you described, I cannot socialize. If someone is talking I cannot tell what they're saying, it's like a pattern I can recognize, but I cannot make sense of. The people closest to me do realize this, so we have an expec... |

You and I seem to be on the same damn page and i would like to move forward and navigate in the landscape that is before u... |

| Actually, I am adamantly against Trump. I have lost contact with family over this. I have nothing to get over as far as the election is concerned. I'm sorry. I know the last years have been tough, but you don't help things by doing this. Develop a better plan, because if none of us do, things are go... |

| K. I'm working of my phone so I'll try and respond as best I can. For your Political Stance, I like and agree. No criticism. For your Identity Politics: I'm sorry. I have to call you out. You put forward a bullsh*t strawman that you could knock down. The thing to keep in mind, is that the media we r... |

But hey, suddenly god spoke to him, and now billions have to listen, right? (Being sarcastic) There’s a lot of problematic stu... |

Seriously curious. Why is that any different from why anyone takes a political stance. And who are we to judge? |

| "Identity politics" raises a red flag for me. For one, it starts stretching the use of the word "politics". What we are really talking about isn't government and economy, we ware talking about how we interact and get along with one another. Political actors make strategies off of... |

| It sounds like you are approaching this well. It is a shame, though. Often we can't really control what what we think or believe in. But we can control how we treat others. I'm sorry about these parents. Our oldest is dating, and while my partner and I haven't been the biggest fans of all of her boy... |

| I don't think anyone was saying belief, or lack thereof, should be enforced. I don't think anyone should support a national religion, or support a ban on religion. I struggle to find how atheism is forced on people, though. It feels like at that point, there's a different intention happening. I mean... |

| I don't know. The Bible is wrong or unbelievable in so much that it includes, why should I care about what it doesn't say? It tells you how to match clothes or how much you can beat a slave. God got pissed at Abraham when after he spared the lives of women and children of a warring nation. Lot was t... |

Welcome!
I get the "different personas" statement a great deal. The more I've learned and fo used on myself, I've found building my own to be worthwhile. Good luck! |

| I don't mean to pull it back, but even going to a much smaller scale. One of our kid's friends (girl), talked to a another boy at their high school recently. Was it flirting? Maybe. But it was really down to the fact that someone else was interested in this other boy. She didn't realize this, but st... |
