you know how people, especially on twitter, try and share their absolute dogshit takes without a care for humility, just unbribled stubbornness

everybody seem so full of themselves and I just can't bring myself to trust anyone unless they show a hint of doubt over their own thoughts, and that's flat out absent from most social media

idk, I don't think I did a good jb describing what I feel, it's hard to accurately put into words

but like, do you have stuff you usually keep to yourself, because like you know the thought isn't well rounded or something and you don't want to say something incorrect. or like interrogations about stuff you can't really answer by yourself

    The phenomena on social media you mentioned where where everyone proclaims their opinions (whether wrong or not) with full confidence is so disorienting. If you can't scrutinize them because you don't know either or you aren't paying attention, one naturally tends to agree with someone speaking with authority. Having hundreds of anonymous people do this to your brain in the span of an hour over text makes it so hard to call bullshit. I mean I still do but thinking about it now makes me realize I have no strategy for it. Idk how many stupid opinions or falsehoods I've swallowed whole on Reddit.
