not long past,

im not sure where (if here), but i said to myself that i wish i could want to possess someone so thoroughly as a character in a book i was reading.

i realized when talking to myself only recently that i do. im not sure how strongly, but i know that what emotions i always have are attenuated by the time they reach the outside world

This is a recent idea of mine, not the way I've though for the past decade, but ...

instead of always excusing the other person, "they hurt me but they didn't mean to" ... "This is what's best for them" ... etc....

Sometimes, it's okay to think... "that fucking asshole."

Maybe I'm going through an angry phase. But I don't think I'm wrong.

well, you know me and i usually have no problem saying something like that.

most of the time, in these cases, theres no call to.

Wouldn't dulling the emotional signals from both ends warp your emotional output? Outside of the internet or news or talk shows, I generally need to enhance the emotional strength of what I hear, since I assume they moderate their intensity like I do (and most people it seems, like you). By reducing both ends, you may be better at analyzing speech logically, but I would think you would be less able to understand certain types of motivations. It may also lead you to unintentionally offend others. Do you have some other means to compensate?

i actually dont mean to discuss any of this in depth, but i will say that i do not understand a lot of motivations and i do offend others quite easily, which i already did say in the post.
