humans like to put other humans into negative and self-limiting emotions a lot

Do you have an example? I don't understand what this means.

People like to talk others down you mean, yeah, I had a friend that always did it that when I had something to celebrate but just decided that it's some sate attribute the person has. It's still a friend but some jealousy behavuir. Jealosy is just ugly.

@YourMom Wait, does that mean that you understand her other rants?

> Lensflare doesn't view me as human for example

wat? 🤨

> it's just treating me like an inanimate object

huh? 🧐

> a lot of times though I can't tell the motivation, only see that people are addicted to harming each other.

"mimimi I'm the victim, mimimi I don't understand why people behave that way…"

Meanwhile protecting b2plane lol. What a joke.

@Lensflare sometimes, not always

I think we categorize people. It is not the same as dehumanizing someone though. There are people I share information with that I don't share with other people. This is me categorizing people with barriers that can and can't be crossed. Probably mostly subconscious though.

If someone in person or online appeals to my sense of compassion I will often soften my stances. So maybe that shifts what category I have placed someone in. But at the same time due to pattern noticing of people I am wary of some people still.

Isn't it called 'projection'?

@jestdotty easy:

Not understanding what someone tries to say is absolutely not the same as dehumanizing.

For example I dehumanize spammers and I understand them.
I often don’t understand you but I don’t dehumanize you.

Also you have convinced me to not take you seriously anymore, so I‘ll assume that you are fucking around again and make your "jokes".

Consequences.

@jestdotty so when you don’t understand someone, you dehumanize them?
Wow. Just wow.

And then again you accuse me of the thing that you are doing.
It gets old.

@jestdotty why do you keep saying that I don’t see you as human?
I say it again, as explicitly as humanly possible (pun intended):
I do see you as human. I am not dehumanizing you.

Your weird practice of dehumanizing people who you don’t understand is not normal behavior. Don’t project it onto others.
