    Your evidence is… the comment i responded to? Not very compelling. It doesn’t feature you giving any sympathy, just saying you don’t get it. And the implication thus far is that you simply can’t conceive of it happening. Not the most empathetic stance, is it?

    It reminds me of the guys that claim sexism no longer exists, asking “but where is there any sexism?” And then shooting down all examples as not counting, continuing to ask “where is this sexism?”

      Well then I guess it’s good that I’m not asking for sympathy. Just an explanation. Thankfully, people other than you were kind enough to give explanations.

        I have no idea why you thought I claimed you were looking for sympathy. You must not have actually read it properly. I said you are not giving sympathy. And yeah - I didn’t give you an explanation, exactly because other people have. That’s kinda the point I was making - others have already explained it to you, and your bewildered “oh golly gee, people aren’t that mean!” attitude struck me as resisting to believe people can actually be so cruel. Not just aghast at it, but refusing to actually believe they are telling the truth and not just mistaken.

            Literally every response of yours to people explaining how they were abused for showing emotion.

            Your first comment, especially:

            And why would you be ridiculed and scorned for opening up emotionally?

            None of this meme makes sense to me.

            Stop making this more complicated than it actually is. Accept the criticism and grow as a person.

                  I have told you point blank that I am not challenging their stories. More than once.

                  So you are refusing to believe I am telling the truth.

                  Let me guess- that doesn’t make you a hypocrite, because you refusing to believe I’m telling the truth is totally different.

                    I didn’t actually say you were, though. Just that you “gave off that vibe” and “came across that way”.

                    So you are refusing to believe I am telling the truth.

                    No, you’re refusing to interpret your tone.

                    Let me guess- that doesn’t make you a hypocrite, because you refusing to believe I’m telling the truth is totally different.

                    I’m not saying you’re lying, or saying you accused them of lying.
