saney,
Thanks for that 👍
Reading it has reminded me why I have difficulties in certain conversations I have with people , on here but mainly in everyday life .
Discovering why people think the way they do has led me to the lifestyle I have (probably) .
Choosing only to interact with others when it suits me because I can't be bothered by their obvious misunderstanding of reality .
