okay. well have you asked them why they believe the way they do? have you listened to them? do you feel like you've been seen and heard in interactions with them?
i know that it's frustrating to be around people who hurt themselves and others around them in the process. again, i've lived through that.
i try to the best of my abilities but this is on a wider scale than just, let's say, a neighborhood
you can listen to people on a wider scale than a neighborhood. everyone you talk to online you can try to understand. if you try to listen but don't succeed, then you're not a good listener. listening and speaking is a skill that you have to learn, nobody is born with those skills. and, sadly, they are not taught enough.
people online usually get me but that obviously depends on the community you're in. obviously people here aren't big fans of mine
