Why do people say things they don't mean? I guess, I'm mostly referring to when people say things out of anger. I hate that.
When the people in my life do that to me, I tend to take what they say literally. I think they mean what they stated. And maybe I shouldn't do that, and I should try to understand that sometimes people say things that aren't true as a way to express how they feel.
However, there should be a limit on that. I think that it's a stupid form of expression, and a person should not be able to get away with saying such serious things. For example (unfortunately a real example), a death threat. I'm sorry, but actually, I'm not sorry. I will be interpreting that message literally, and my response and actions will follow.
Why would a person not want to be conscious of this?
I've been trying to understand that. But maybe I don't want to. I don't want nothing to do with any of it. I can't think about this anymore; I find it wastes my time.
Although, as much as I think I don't do it, I probably do.
