I don’t know your definitions of these words, because I’m having a friendly conversation with you, but you feel it’s a debate that’s causing you anguish.
Once again (because of your amnesia), I don’t define words. The dictionary does. Children understand this concept. Why do you struggle so much with it?
And of you don’t know what the words “friendly” and “debate” mean, then you shouldn’t be using them in a sentence.
As for this “anguish” you keep fantasizing about, you really should see a doctor about that.
Which doctors specialize in anguish?
A psychotherapist would be able to help you with your fantasizing that internet strangers that hurt your feelings are, themselves, feeling the “anguish” you feel.
Psychologists call it “projection”.
And if you hadn’t gambled your health and well-being on not getting health insurance, you wouldn’t have to pay so much for that therapy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You haven’t hurt my feelings but you have said that I attacked you personally but your unwilling to say where or how.
[X] Doubt
I said every time I pointed out your ad hominem attacks. Your lack of/inability to understand is at the core of this debate, and still not my fault (nor my responsibility). Your failures are your own responsibility as are your foolish decisions when you gamble your health, well-being, and financial future by not getting health insurance.
It’s pretty irrational to blame others for your own words and actions.
How do my choices about my life affect you and why would you feel the need to tell me that you feel my beliefs and choices are wrong?
I already answered this, but since you seem to have a terrible case of amnesia, here is the answer again:
My feeling still aren’t hurt but we’ve already established I have thicker skin then you.
You’re free to your “beliefs” but the evidence here says otherwise.
If there’s evidence then you should have no problem producing it.
You already produced that evidence when you commented…every time you comment. And I point it out every time. Just like the ad hominem attacks. But you seem to have serious memory problems.
It’s irrational to blame others for things you, yourself, do and say.
How is that evidence my feelings are hurt?
It’s just evidence that you are more sensitive then me when it comes to people disagreeing on the internet.
You lashing out with personal attacks when met with facts that debunk your beliefs is not the fault of others. And when you falsely perceive others as feeling the “anguish” (the word you chose) that you, yourself, feel in these moments, that’s psychological projection.
Nobody else is to blame for your inability to process rejection and the upending of your “beliefs” in a healthy manner; it’s yours and yours alone. Too bad you gambled your health and well-being on not getting health insurance, or you’d be able to work through such difficult emotions with a therapist.
You haven’t been able to debunk a single belief of mine so far so I haven’t had anything to lash out about.
And the amnesia strikes again…
Convenient how that only happens when you have no rational, evidence-based response.
Or, perhaps, it’s another thing that psychologists refer to as “denial”…
