There are two types of people: People who are open to receiving new information about the world, including information about people they are interacting with. Their reaction is something along the lines of, "Oh, that's cool, I didn't know that. I'm going to go with the assumption that you're not just lying to my face or just wrong about everything, or something along those lines, an assumption I would have arrived at for no reason at all."
Then there's the other type of person, who regards new information as an attack, against which a defense must be mustered.
I wish I met more people who were the first type. I’m so used to keeping info to myself around new people because I don’t wish to make enemies since most people I meet are the second type.
yeah right theres no way thats true prove it
How would you propose someone online proves their lived experience to another random person online?
I’m all ears.
