I guess when I have an arguement I always try to
extract my personal feelings and experiences out of
it, otherwise I find that I might take the things
that people say personally.
I also find that when I give a generic instead of
a personal example, I have a better grasp of
the problem. I find my emotions tend to cloud
issues.
This is just my personal opinion, I am not trying to
(should not have tried to) speak for anyone else.
