The internet is the place where you can just be your own antisocial self, and if someone doesn't like it, well, too bad, you remove that person from your life, or that person does the same to you, and then you just move on to the next one.

Right. I'm anti social that's why I like internet to help me with social distancing and still live my live.

I've never had many mirrors in my house and I rarely look in them. This is not because I have a strange image of myself or because I don't like what I see, but because I simply can't see myself, and this also applies to others. I have a kind of blindness to faces, so I would be very bad at drawing a police sketch to describe what someone looks like. I am trying to work on that a little now that I want to learn how to sketch, hahaha. But it's a fact. I once took part in a competition that was also about how you see yourself in the mirror. I think it was about a year and a half to two years ago that I wrote about not being able to see myself. The strange thing is that I don't think there were too many responses to this, so you don't read or believe me.

I believe you! I remember reading about this a while back. I started looking into it because I know so many people who use 'not being able to recognize faces' of others from other races as some kind of excuse.

Then I found out about face blindness. There’s a huge difference between the two—one is behavior issue and the other is a biological condition.

And then there's the truth. Of course, you can tell the truth in a gentle or more considerate way, but the fact is that this doesn't always work. There are people who are so stubbornly blind and deaf and just don't want to hear anything, and being considerate doesn't help, because they talk everything up anyway or twist it in such a way that it sounds good to them and the message doesn't get through. In addition, we are always considerate and always say things in a certain softening way, terribly beating around the bush, as we call it. You know that behaviour, dogs do it, for example, when something is too hot and they keep circling around the bowl. They want to eat it, but they can't. The same goes for people who beat around the bush. In fact, they don't tell the truth bluntly, they try to gloss over it a bit and hope that the person they are saying it to will pick up on what is really meant, but of course that doesn't work.

The reality is that some people prefer a comfortable lie over a difficult truth. It’s hard to watch someone make a fool of themselves; there have been times I couldn't stand it and just spoke the truth plainly. I wasn't able to sugarcoat it, and they resented me for it. It makes me question why I should bother being the 'bad person' for someone who isn't ready to listen. At a certain point, you have to just let people live their own lives.
