    Wouldn't this logic apply the same way unto itself? As in, the opinion that an act is either selfish or ignorant as triggered by the actions proposed above - namely a request that the subjected party cease and desist, and forgo their opinion on a given matter - in itself be quantifiable as simply a method of rationalization to thereby justify the label of ignorant and/or selfish such that in turn an act which has the effective premise mirroring the one discussed previously, but rather being applied unto the opinion that is in disagreement instead of the original to which the contrary or incompatible point of view was composed in reference to?

    TL;DR: Isn't that point of view potentially hypocritical? People can have free thoughts about other people not saying or doing things.

    I appreciate The TL;DR, because the way this was typed seemed very (unnecessarily) complicatedly written.

    When it comes down to it, people with Anxiety, DID, PTSD, OCD or other illnesses that effect mental stability have to create barriers and rules for themselves, not just for others. (Unless you cannot comprehend it and medically you are far beyond a conventional lifestyle.) If you happen to meet someone who tramples on your request to stop saying/doing something that harms your mental stability then you cut them out of your life. You're not going to be able to wire everyone in a way that makes you comfortable. You are going to meet people (in my case;)that if you were abused as a child, will question and pressure you about the abuse and make it difficult for you to function. They will attempt to mock you about the abuse, or purposelessly trigger you. To avoid this, cut these people (if you can) out, and if you can't, research a way to deal with it, speak to someone, do anything you can other than change this persons attitude, because let me tell you, these people will not stop. There will always be people out there like that, and you will just have to try and prepare yourself for this the best way you can. If you can't, you will hurt yourself. Take this from me, I know.

    [MENTION=2361]Sinderlocke[/MENTION] The fairly verbose version was in fact necessary, as I needed to get rid of some potential ambiguity (specifically, pertaining to what may be considered hypocritical). As for your points; you discuss a person (or persons) intentionally trying to control manipulate or otherwise harm a person by effectively attacking them. I tried to address this in broader terms, such as in an everyday discussion (where neither party is intentionally trying to hurt the other).

    There has been an interestingly large number of deaths of people close to members of this forum lately. Odd.

    Also, [MENTION=9064]kakkekakke[/MENTION] my condolences, meaningless as they are.

    This picture is either completely tasteless or absolutely hilarious.

    Possibly both.

    I found out that apparently people with Narcissistic personality disorder has two types of triggers. Envy and Ridicule. The amazing things you learn in your minor classes

    Whether someone has no intention of hurting someones feelings it can be done fairly easily, it's the same with triggering. Some people will stop, others won't because they do not understand. It's very much like my family, they don't walk on eggshells to avoid certain subjects and they openly mock mental health even in my presence. They don't think it's hurtful because they do not understand. Some people live in blissful ignorance without much regard for others.

    Eventually, if you're lucky, you'll learn to ignore the insults, and the cruelty, and the insensitivity, because it's better to be viewed as an emotionless monster than allow anybody to see and exploit a weakness.

    I don't think I can fathom anything that makes me want to pulverise someone more than when you attempt to explain a simple concept and they either entirely misunderstand, or are incapable of even that. Most things I say aren't rocket science. Even if they are, rocket science isn't exactly the most difficult field in the world; it doesn't even touch upon theoretical physics.

    This sounds bad until you question: Why? In general, you'll find the people who live their lives like this either once cared far too much, or could never care from the start, even if they tried. Also in the mix are terrible people, people with a vendetta, and Torontonians; these are the special cases that do not make up the majority (for the most part).
