There isnt anything wrong with how you answer that. Second thing - we dont have words for it. We use the concept when someone does something bad, what do i do?.

This. I don’t want to have a partner who can say things like this to me.
- I hate my partner so much. We were going at it a while longer than we thought. I’ve had two people just say to me “hope I never do something like this” and they never said no, either.
You know, the whole “when you do it bad” thing can be used in a bunch of different ways. When I’m talking to a friend in a chat, Im trying to make sure the person who Im talking to knows that I care about them, but when I talk to someone in a public place, its almost like Im talking to myself. In this case, Im using it to explain a certain type of assumption I have. People tend to assume that I have the authority to speak for myself, and Im just that, a good person. I dont have that power, and Ive tried to be as transparent and nonchalant as possible about my thoughts. This conversation has gone on for an hour, but I think the conversation will probably continue for a little bit. I just dont want to make anyone feel awkward about this, and Im just happy talking to someone about it. Edit: Thanks for the feedback! The prompt mentioned something about how it was a bit distracting to read if you didnt have a good reason to continue reading. I just wanted to clarify. If youve been reading a lot and can't find the motivation to continue reading, it might be worth it to just not continue at all. Also, the prompt mentioned a lack of specifics as to how to continue the story. That made me chuckle. I didnt mean to mention a specific prompt or anything. Just thought it was fun to think about.
I was a good person when I was a little boy. My mother said this to me and I remember it. So the question is whats wrong with that?
I was just making an assumption. That is one way to get them to shut the fuck up.
- Well, yeah, you really have to be really, REALLY good at that
That's the same as saying "I am not good at this, therefore you are not a good person". That is just a statement meant to be derogatory and implies a lack of character.
- Nah I’m a bad person, so it’s just me
My mind has been a bit too busy thinking about what to eat for dinner this week while I try to get my house back into order (I have no idea where the kitchen will be next year). #4: Filled up on snacks
- That’ll be a great time to find out what the heck the snacks are
- The best way to learn something is by doing nothing with it". - Alfred Korzybski https://www.this/ reminds me how I learned so much from the asslips subreddit. It's a great place to learn about different topics and to share information about them. You can also check out some of their videos on YouTube!>If youre a new member, you might want ta start at the bottom of the post. That the best means to learn anything is simply do nothing with something. - Alfred Korzski "Its all in your head" eeding to know more about the subject: "Im going to try to learn more about this topic on my own. But Im not sure if Ill be able to."> https://preview.redd.it/_kc9q1qh71.png?width=1080&format=
  
  You should start on the bottom and use the same words to make assumptions and put it into a formula and work it out. That way, if someone makes a mistake, you can be confident in the process and just repeat, "Its all in my head!"
