Thats not better.

Just because I'm not into what you are into doesn't mean my life is lacking. You like chocolate, I don’t like sweets much at all but if I have to choose a flavor, I like the taste of un-flavored foods as much as I like a strong curry.

Same thing. You see my life as lacking because of what you think I should like based on what you like, but it’s plenty rich in ways that actually speak to what I like.

    You see my life as lacking [...] based on what you like

    I think that is exactly the case here. People just can't comprehend how a life other than their own would look like.

    I guess that also falls under the Dunning Kruger Effect?

    Oh, I can.
    For years I had severe clinical depression and it rendered me incapable of feeling almost anything towards my SO, friends and relatives.
    It was... I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.

    Now medication at last is working and it's like chalk and cheese.

    Well to be honest I believe if I was given the option to not be weighed down by such feelings then I would take it.

    Really would make it easier to make genuine connections with people without my subconscious doing some funky shit.

    Now I could be wrong and I am assuming of course but I feel like a lot of those (not all) who are free from such urges prefer it that way and even if given the option to feel those things they wouldn’t take it.

    Do you bother blind people about how they could experience the world if they were sighted, too?

    Like its a moot point, idk what you hope to gain here other than being a dick about how your way is better when I have no way to ever know, and you can never see my point of view either.

    Bother? If we would have a discussion with a blind person I would say, that I'm sorry too.

    You probably have thought it's condescending, but I've meant it as compassion.
    And now you're attacking me.
