"I have a bit of a reputation for talking about stuff like ethics and social issues in a way that is like "lol this is so dorky, why are we even talking about this?"

it& #39;s true that I feel a little silly sometimes

[...]
but I& #39;m also aware that that& #39;s because I& #39;m constantly reading about/thinking about these issues"
"if I can& #39;t get you to believe that I& #39;m sincere, I& #39;m just going to continue being sincere"
"in my model, a friendship is a *unique* thing. (there& #39;s no "kind of friendship" like "kind of animal")

And, like all unique things, it can& #39;t be defined in terms of its *difference* from other things.

It& #39;s like trying to define "triangle" by saying it& #39;s not a square.

[...]
For me, it& #39;s like a friendship *is* a point in the relationship, and I& #39;m trying to define it as the entire line.

Like trying to define "triangle" as the "shape between a square and a circle".

But it& #39;s *not* a line - it& #39;s a point, and a unique one.

[...]
And I can "visualize" a friendship as a point. I can look at it in terms of its attributes.

But if I try to visualize the *relationship*, the actual *line*,
I get *zero*."
"Re: bf

I am fascinated by how long-term love actually does change people& #39;s values

Like,

how it gets to be *obvious* that you& #39;ve changed

in a way that *makes sense* to the other person, as part of their values"
