It isn't hypocritical because what you've done is you've chose to allow the interaction to be one that is peaceful, to minimize conflict and to provide an appropriate engagement, because what you're thinking may not agree with what they're sharing. And I won't even say the average person, but many people struggle with differing opinions. If they share something, say something.
SourceAnd someone they're speaking to has a different opinion. There's this this mindset that wants to try to defend and convince people that what I'm saying is right. Whether they're trying to prove you wrong or not, they want to make you understand that what they're saying is right and that it makes sense.
So it's either experience and or your character that gives you the ability, says therapist, to be able to hear things and not respond or not react and retaliate. Everyone can't do it, but some people can. There are some people whose emotional center just doesn't function the same way.
And they are emotionless people. Some people deal with that. And who knows what that could be? And this is part of the reason when they talk about people being neurodivergent and being on the spectrum.
I think they should. This is me talking. I'm not a doctor and I'm not a part of the medical associations or boards.
But I think that. Everybody should be measured on the spectrum so that we realize that we all may operate on some level or another on that spectrum. Some are more to one side than the other.
But we all have moments and days where we disconnect. We all have moments and days where we will want to react aggressively. We all have those moments and days where we don't want to be bothered by people.
