Not me but my sister had this realisation when I challenged her confident proclamation that she wanted to sit at the back of the roller coaster to get a longer ride!
My divorce finalized in early 2017.
In late 2017, I got back together with my ex-wife.
Sitting across from my ex-wife in a Mexican restaurant in late 2019 after our thousandth argument, I very calmly, but firmly, said “we’re the stupidest people on the fucking planet.” She agreed.
A couple days later she moved out.
My friends Mom: so, does you car run on diesel or petrol?
Me, drunk as shit and an idiot: oh no it’s a mercedes
I guess it’s ironic in some ways, but when I allow myself to be baited into replying to an idiotic stupid person/comment. That’s pretty dumb in itself although it’s tempting as fuck (check my history, I just did it, lol). I’m either feeding a troll or allowing my emotions to be somewhat aggravated, and over what? Over text on a screen from someone I’ll never meet and who has NO influence on my life (other than what I give them) whatsoever. I may as well be arguing with a bot and it’s not like you ever change someone’s opinion or bring them to a realization they’re the idiot. Not gonna happen. What’s the saying, oh yeah. Don’t argue with a stupid person, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. I’ve been downvoted before because of being misread and I felt like “noooooo, you don’t understand, I’m not the idiot you thought I was I’m actually smart, nooooo” – like holy Christ, what was I thinking, it’s meaningless.
