The more I look out at the world, I think this is a better place to be.

I used to be very outgoing, but more and more I prefer my own company compared to some of the creeps I've run across.

1. Please don't give up or give in. I think we need to return to...

...more daily common courtesy and polite interaction with one another. If you come up against a MAGAT ignore them and keep on trying.

2. Yes, you are probably quite correct. I come across some of them yelling at me for no reason

at all. I guess they just don't think I look like them or something. Some days I think I'm just too nice and should just start conversations with fuck you. ... but I'm not quite at that stage yet.

3. Living in rural Texas it can be lonely sometimes until I speak to some of my RW neighbors. I much

prefer solitude to that mess. Shitkickers are not my "cup of tea".

5. I think a religious cult lives around me, and they are nasty creatures. n/t

4. I think this is called growing up...you have learned what's really important and just shed all the

Superfluous frills.

6. Yep, quite true! Some of the people that live around me are still on the seventh grade

playground hurling insults at each other.

7. Sometimes we just need to retreat and recharge our batteries. nt

8. Yes, agree. It just gets to be too much sometimes. I need to relax from it a bit. n/t

9. I feel like our society

has lost an appreciation for the difference between the private space & the public space. People are bringing their living room behavior into the public sphere. If I'm going to have to see other people's living room behavior, I'd rather just stay in mine. I hear my right wing cousins complain about being PC. When I was a kid, it was called being polite.

10. Good description of it all! n/t
