Everybody privately shit-talks everybody. The phone always listens to it and records it. A viral hack that turns all this shit-talking into texts. Everybody in the world suddenly gets a thousand shit-talking texts from their family, friends and associates. Society dissolves.

    Buddy. You’re on a tantrum. You ain’t taking us anywhere except the verbal equivalent of slinging shit at each other.

    But I’m not here for conversation. I’m here to show you this ain’t productive, and that you need to stop.

    You’ve been set straight on an assumption about people, that might have called into question your own self worth.

    If you genuinely thought everyone shit-talks, it follows that it is something you do.

    If that’s the case, the fact that there are people who don’t, might have made you feel like a worse person in contrast.

    That’s ok. But you need to start thinking about what you’re gonna do about it. And doubling down on the stuff that makes you difficult to like, aint it.

      Hmm. I thought I explained this 5 times but in case you missed it

      It doesn’t matter if it’s 100%. Or 99%. Or even 90 or 30. It would still be quite the nuke.

      That’s the point. That it would be a nuke.

        No, it wouldn’t. That would only be the case if those shit talkers each said truly heinous shit, and those on the receiving end had zero emotional intelligence to deal with it.

        I’m confused. What does this have to do with the fact that you’re being difficult?

        You changed your position. Good. I knew that. See how that last comment of mine was in past tense? But that does not absolve you for the comments you made and continue to make.

        Nothing in how you’re acting makes me think you’ll be nicer about it the next time you get your mind changed. And that’s what I’m telling you to change.

            Why do you do that?

            The only possible interpretation I can make here, is that you just put together a sentence for the sole purpose of trying to upset me.

            That is not a nice thing to do. No mature adult should ever need to go there.

            Yet you have.

            Why can’t you just… Not?

              Hm. Ask a question, then answer your own question, then enjoy a satisfying climax. Very efficient.

                I’m asking why you can’t be nice. Or failing that why you don’t want to be.

                That you aren’t, is obvious. And not an answer to anything.

                You’ve now admitted to being intentionally malicious.

                That’s NOT an improvement.

                    Is that the meanest “go away” you can manage?

                    Really?

                    Just block me. Or stop responding, even.

                    I keep replying because that’s what I do when there’s even a fraction of a chance I get through.

                    I will repeat the same paraphrased ideas at you over and over, so that even if you only read every other sentence, the full idea might make it into your head.
