It used to be that I would torpedo friendships by angrily engaging in protracted pedantic arguments. Now I seem to end friendships by angrily disengaging from protracted pedantic arguments.
So I'd call that personal growth.
@beardalaxy yeah, at the end of the day I know I cause these problems, but in the recent case I don’t really care, it wasn’t a close friendship and the person in question was prone to hysterics anyhow, I just lost my patience for bullshit.
I was just amused at how I sabotage myself now versus 20-30 years ago.
@gruyere when you get to be my age, you lose friendships because your friends just like other people more than you
