@rees@cute i dont want to ban anybody. i want people to use the tools provided to them and stop trying to put me in the middle of their petty shit to make me feel like garbage when all i want to do is have fun and relax
@graf@cute meh. look at soraya and how that turned out, I never asked you to defed her or take my side. wasn't going to be upset with you if you took her side. she was very obviously trying to manipulate you against me pretending like she was your friend and that she cared about your well-being.
@rees@cute okay so you understand what i'm talking about now, then. soraya but other people and in place of you are others they don't like. so you can understand the shitty behavior by the parties in her position, right?
@rees@cute and i understand that, but put yourself in a position of control where somebody is insisting or insinuating that you do something about somebody when you consider both a friend and trying to make you feel bad or leverage things you've told them against the other person in an attempt to better their position. i think thats shitty behavior at the very least
@rees@cute yourself for example. you know what you've said or done to me. you've seen people petition me to do something about you. but you're not doing something to me right now. thats actually a perfect example. somebody i would consider friendly tells me to remove you based on who you are or what you've done and i dont because it's not who you are now whatever -- fine -- do you cut the aggressor out for causing drama? probably
@rees@cute cute, rees friends have you ever been fed up with people trying to push their feelings and opinions of* others on you and realize you need to stop putting up with that behavior and treatment from others you consider friends. if so, what did you do?
@graf@cute I don't think you need to 'put up with that behavior' or 'don't put up with that behavior'. I think it's tribalism. I think people are at different stages of their life and learn at different rates. I think everyone has different tribes, or multiple tribes, and they do what they can to fit in and improve their standing in that tribe, through missionary work or conquering or w/e. I think most conflict is just misunderstanding. I think people are typically wrong. I also think it's okay to be wrong and okay to have wrong opinions. if you asked what I would do these days (previously I would have argued), most people act like children, and I wouldn't get mad at a child for trying to manipulate me or insult me or argue with me w/e I would just be like "aww how cute he's trying so hard"
