I think most people don’t understand and underestimate the effects of mob mentality and basing serious decisions purely off of emotion rather than from a more logical and rational perspective.
Just to clarify for my brand new critics, temperance is always to be utilized. For example, it would be a sad world if we didn’t seek out partners because we liked them or not. But chasing after someone purely off of our more animalistic urges doesn’t always lead to positive places.
Taking into account things like compatibility is very rational. “I like you enough the think about how well we could do together,” is very mature and respectable in my opinion.
So your going deny my right's to be aromantic? beacuse thats what im seeing
What? Is this like a joke or something? I’m being serious, because I don’t understand how that could be targeting anyone in particular.
Regardless of whatever your sexual orientation is, I think thoughtfully thinking about who you want to be with is rational and emotional. It would require you to have an emotional investment in said person and have the maturity to determine if a relationship with said person would be toxic/unhealthy or productive/supportive.
For example, I have low self-esteem. So it is a tendency of mine to think that almost everyone is out of my league. Is that true? Probably, probably not. Is it rational? Maybe, maybe not. But is it miserable? Yes.
So, would it be better to lean into my emotional side of self deprecation and be sad and lonely forever, or would it be better to stop the pity parties and learn to love myself so I can better appreciate and love the people around me? (This is rhetorical, by the way).
You're all good. We're a bunch of (GP)ed-up critics here.
Actually, a question/opinion of the day thread wouldn't be a bad idea, now that I'm thinking about it...
Hey hey hey, slow down! When have I ever criticized someone on here?!?!
*Genuinely concerned. Did I? I've tried not to.*
Matey it’s not bad to criticize…
It seems wrong to criticize people I've literally never met IRL, though.
Pretty easy to gain a sense of personality online.
For example, you’re a people pleaser who hates offending people and feels like they have to be nice to everyone. I have more but that’s all I know for sure. And I can think of tons of criticisms based on that.
Only thing that would be different irl is you know what they look like, and criticizing based on appearance is a dick move.

I have crazy low self esteem. I get what you’re talking about. If I was asked out, I’d probably just be shocked someone liked me and said yes unless they were an objectively horrible person. The human mind truly is strange…
Hold up a second. Gato, your sig used to say you were a teenage boy.
Now it says you prefer to be called she/her, A.K.A a girl, and just says 'teenager'.
Did I miss something?
Gato is trans. She only just changed her sig.
I don't actually know what trans means. I could Google it, I guess, but that's often misleading.
Trans means that the gender you were assigned at birht no longer is the gender you feel, so I feel mostly like a they/them, but I also can feel like a she/her, and I prefer she/her pronouns
