Well that makes sense. It's just hard to explain things sometimes and it's also hard to tell people things because you could easily just start doubting yourself because you want to try and understand what they're saying. So it's like you said it can be out of self protection. But I do try to explain things to them. It's just sometimes the words aren't there when you need them the most and you have to learn how to explain things better. But there's this one paticular person who I just don't think I can get through to because he thinks he's always right. My psychology teacher told me once that no matter how well you explain something it just takes a while for people to see your perspective. I don't know if that really makes any sense but then again I guess it does. Maybe they need time to understand it from thier perspective or maybe they weren't even trying in the first place. I still think people should learn to explain things in the best way pissible. Maybe the more complicated you make it the better. But then maybe they would have a hard time understanding it. So then you can try to simplify it.
