I have a feeling that people are sensitive. Especially foreigners. I have conversations and it's like I'm walking on eggshells. I don't want to be offensive or get out of line and create an enemy I didn't bargain for. The best way to avoid that is to refrain from long conversations.
Initially, I tried walking on eggshells with you 🤣. I can't remember but you'd say some things and I'm like "oh cool, I can say be open about shit like that too, niceeee". I guess it's because you're just as curious.
I need more foreign friends though but I suck at making friends. If it isn't mutual from the start, I don't know how to force it.
I feel the same way with Americans! And not only Americans but especially Americans. It has to do with the dual cultures of left/right, black/white and city/country being toooooo divided and on guard of each other. And also because we spend half our education learning how to debate and create philosophical “arguments”. I guess I’m lucky that I could escape that by having so many international friends and being a loser and not interested in school when I was young.
There are always exceptions though. It’ll be easiest if you can find them! I’ll help wherever possible.
That’s funny you were walking on eggshells with me, but I can get really strong in sharing my opinions, I’m trying to drop that unless it’s going to be really really helpful in that moment.

I hardly have opinions about a lot of things unless they involve conscience and certain values. Asides from those, I form my opinion about many other things from the opinions of others that resonate with my values.
I need more friends though. Feel free to introduce me to someone who wouldn't mind having long conversations every once now and then. Not too often though coz I always have so much work to be done.
