Iām late here but whatever. Iām finding myself more and more on board with this, the more time passes. When I was younger, I wouldāve been more willing to ādebateā every asshole but the older Iāve got, the more Iāve realised that theyāve all just got the same āpointsā over and over again and if arguing those points hasnāt changed anything in the last 15 years, it probably wonāt change anything now.
Same goes for ājust asking questionsā. Itās the same fucking questions that every JAQ-off asks, and all āquestionsā that can be easily answered by shutting your fucking mouth and opening your ears for once. Maybe stepping out of your bubble and listening to what people who are different from you are saying for once.
Last night I blocked my first customer. Got a shitty, really over reacted and unnecessary comment to something. Checked their profile to see if it was just someone having a bad day and saw that literally every comment this person makes is to shit on someone, thatās their entire contribution to this platform. Even spotted a ātypical white femalesā in there. So I just blocked, knowing that nothing of value has been lost to me.
And I think thatās how Iām gonna play it from now. If I get an aggressive response from someone that isnāt full of aggressive responses, Iāll indulge them a little. But if itās someone thatās clearly just here to fight and make people miserable, the most attention Iāll pay them is hitting that block button.
