[–] mercurly@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) I credit my 12 years on reddit with my ability to create airtight defenses towards anything in my daily life. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago* Yeah but then you risk looking like you’ve had too many conversations with difficult 12 yr olds among your peers and start missing the overall points of the conversation. Reddit fighting lacks this emotional intelligence. It’s not a good look on adults in adult conversations where not every conversation is a defence but listening. And sometimes it’s just venting where a person might not even be in the right but that’s not what that conversation is about. RL is not about ‘winning’ a conversation as it is on Reddit. permalink fedilink source parent
