Comment on Deaf people get to avoid a lot of arguments

So do people who realize not everything requires a response.

Sometimes when someone is rude to me or argumentative with me, I look at them like, “did you really just say that?” And then I leave them there questioning their life choices or maybe finding someone else to bother.

Good take. Some things are not even worth engaging with and my life has been much calmer since that realization.

Going back to the shower thought, turning off your hearing aids during an argument is like a live version of putting someone on mute.

It’s taken me a long time to learn this.

Saying “OK” or “I hear you”, doesn’t mean you agree. You can hear someone’s words and leave it at that.

I rarely reply to anyone who has replied to my internet comment. I’ve had my say. They’ve had their say. If we disagree then there’s not much to gain from further posts.

Mostly I can agree with peoples premise. Sure your life is hard, I can agree with that. But I don’t have to agree with your next logical leap of “and it’s all because of the bloody immigrants”.

A friend of mine would say (in a passive way) “so are you done yet?”

  That is more actively condescending, passive aggressive. Very different from just no response.
  
  I’d say giving a look is probably in the middle, depending on the nuances.
