    I don’t understand why people are making plans they don’t want to do. I see this kind of thing all the time and I don’t get it at all. I like doing stuff. That’s why I agreed to do it. I got invited to something I didn’t want to do this weekend, and I said no thanks. Just sitting at home scrolling the internet or playing a video game is fine, but it’s way less rewarding than doing stuff with other people.

    Maybe the internet just selects more for introverts and sad people?









  • As others have said, the problem is when people refuse to acknowledge new information or admit imperfection.

    You don’t even need to fully admit fault in the moment. If someone provides some contradictory information, you can go “Oh, that’s new to me. I’ll have to read about it.”

    But the problem is people (all of us, to some extent) are emotionally invested in this. Admitting being wrong or imperfect feels like an attack on our security. You have to let that go. No one’s going to hurt you if you admit you forgot the capital of NJ. You don’t have to fight and try to change the argument to “well it should be Princeton” so you can avoid feeling wrong.
