Rage Talking to people is pointless when it’s all just ego. (1 Viewer)

[Parsival]

The issue isn’t just misunderstanding—it’s that most people I interact with aren’t actually trying to understand anything. Especially in my environment, a lot of neurodivergent people are more focused on sounding intelligent than engaging with what’s being said. Every conversation turns into a pointless attempt to ‘correct’ something, even when that was never the point. So instead of addressing the idea, they latch onto some minor detail or misinterpretation and build their entire response around that. It’s not discussion, it’s just performance.
And honestly, I don’t fit in on either side. With neurotypical people, there’s a disconnect in how things are processed. With neurodivergent people, it turns into this constant need to prove something. In both cases, the result is the same—no real understanding, just noise.
I’m not trying to be right all the time. I’m trying to be understood. But if the other person isn’t even aiming for that, the conversation is already pointless.

I mean one big problem with talking to people is them tending to not give a fuck about what one is saying. I noticed when others talk about something in a group and literally no one cares about it.

Yeah, but it’s worse than not caring. It’s when they do respond, but completely miss the point and argue against something you never even said.

Yeah there is some truth to that. My guess is that people tend to be insecure about certain things and for their "truth" to be protected , they have to miss the point of ones argument and of course its not accidental in any way.

You are mixing tone with substance. Don't compare me with those people I'm talking about, if I answered you like that it was because you simply repeated what always happens to me, you took something that had nothing to do with it and changed what I meant to say.

[ramus]

I didn’t attack you—I was simply adding my own experience to the discussion.

Bro your whole post is about people making strawmans when they argue or talk to you , and I agreed they do and suddenly its ragefuel when I agree they strawman and I myself say that they do. Tf?

I didn’t attack you. That reply was just me adding something—nothing more, no hostility intended.

ramus , In that thread, I said ‘we start this to hide something about ourselves, and some people do it for women or other reasons.’ Then you replied saying not everyone is the same—but I don’t see how that’s relevant, because I already acknowledged that people can have different reasons.
What you did after was take a part of my reply and use it as an argument while ignoring the part where I explicitly said there are other reasons. That’s why your response feels disconnected from what I actually said. And based on your later replies, you do come off as someone more concerned with appearing intellectually superior than engaging with the actual point.
Anyway, this has already hurt my p/r ratio enough—I’d rather not keep going back and forth on something that started from a misinterpretation.
It’s sad, man. Really sad. Even when I’m just thinking about people like this, I end up running into more of them again. It’s crazy how this actually ruined my day. I wake up, I remember this kind of people and how weird they are, and I keep encountering them from time to time.
And while I was literally making a thread about this, I ran into another person exactly like that. It’s just… sad.

Yeah that's on you but I want you to know I didn't leave out the other reason ofc there are many others I listed 2 , and 1 you yourself said and this is me trying to agree with you as much as possible regarding those reasons. Others werent specified so I had no point going deep into them
