Do you need a logical reason

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah exactly if he would have told me in the first place the idea sounds stupid but it was funny which I was trying to be. I would have shut up a lot sooner. I would have asked him anyway why does it sound stupid.


After reading that reply I asked my boyfriend and guess what? He admitted it. He said "yeah why?" I read him the response and he laughed. I asked if that's what he thought and he said "yeah and it also sounded painful." I told him why couldn't he say that at the bus stop.


See this is what happens when people can't be honest with each other. It can backfire and turn into a big argument because someone won't give out the real reason.

i am very frightened of the smell of farts.

they are absolutely disgusting to inhale.

i will choose any measure available to escape the smell.

it provides entertainment for some gruff farters to see me scrambling to escape their anal emanations.

but i will almost run through a wall to get away from the smell of a fart.

i hate the thought of gas that was recently inside a person's colon, and is now inside my lungs.

i am not OCD (for any budding diagnosticians) but i am very impelled to escape the rancid miasma of peoples colonic gasses.

Sometimes a feeling of wanting or not wanting to do something can have many contributing causes. It could be what you ate that morning, plus the dream you had, plus whether you showered, plus how your week has been, plus what happened to you that day. Everything adds up to a decision of "yes" or "no" and it can be hard to list the reasons why.

Edit: I completely missed the stuff about the farts. That's funny. I'm not sure how strict the forum rules are, though.

It depends.

Having certain sensitivities in regards to food textures, light, sound, smell and physical contact from other people, I do try to respect people's wanting not to do a certain thing, because for all I know, it might make them sick or uncomfortable somehow. I know that I certainly didn't like people shoving activities, sensations or things they want me to try down my throat and prying as to why exactly I didn't like it or want it. For the sake of consistency, I extend people the same courtesy I want.

On the other hand, when there's a problem with a glaringly obvious solution, or at least a way to work through it, I can't resist exploring the options and asking people why they don't do this, that and the other that could better things. I'm also known to play half-therapist, half-Socrates and tease out why people believe certain things, especially when it's inconvenient or hurtful to them, or why they pursue a certain course of action. It doesn't make me very popular with people on an interpersonal level. However, my curiosity and wanting to understand how people work and why things happen has helped me academically a lot.

Depends on the subject

It depends on the subject, if it is interesting enough or if I am curious enough, but generally yes I do need a logical answer or explanation.

Reminds me of Spock ... That is highly illogical What's wrong with hearing an answer?

Sometimes.

It depends on what the question I was asking about and whatever.
Or sometimes I get in them "Wanting a logical reason" moods.
