Also both sides get sooooo aggressive about it ngl

One side because they can’t emotionally regulate and are asking others to do it for them

The other because they see it as being compelled what to do for… acting as they see it, normal

And it has never been different

It’s kinda one of the more mid things about Fedi ngl

My brain goes into fix-it mode on this but there is no fix because you’re dealing with two groups who believe they’re right and the other is wrong, and you aren’t going to change anyone’s mind on anything, and “meet in the middle” compromise genuinely doesn’t work very well here. So I kinda sit here like “why any of this.”

(Not going into fix-it mode is something I am working on in therapy, something something raised to need to fix everything because that was my job)

Anyway my opinion is:

If someone doesn’t vibe with you, don’t be afraid to mute them and assert your boundaries. It is okay to say “I am not going to argue this with you.” It’s okay to say nothing at all even. If they continue, block them.

Don’t make a spectacle of it.

Just do it.

This goes for anywhere, anytime, anyplace.

Boundaries piss some people off. Well. That’s their problem. If they hate you for asserting a boundary, that means they believe their will is more important than your boundaries. You do NOT want nor need the friendship of these people.
