      I really don’t like it, when people suddenly talk loudly to me, something like “WHAT? You don’t like ONIONS?”.

      And at some point I realized, I can totally just not respond when people do that (at least if they’re not actually angry) and then they’ll just shut up. It’s great.

    Well I may not walk away, but often I just sit thinking about a painting, my bra or a friend that disappeared under mysterious circumstances a dozen years ago.

    Seriously, also why so many old people can’t stand young people.

    You’re talking breathlessly at me about something that either everyone knows or that doesn’t matter at all. I’m glad that you just learned about 9/11 and America’s stupid evil war right after, I was there, but I have work to do and at some point I really would rather just walk away.

      I try. My cat comes in all like “meow meow meow meow meow.” So I try meow meow back, and maybe some English words. But then she just goes to eat food or lick herself.

      Apparently OP is discussing fucking Kierkegaard with their cat.
