I'm sorry, but some of y'all need that real talk critical analysis for half-baked ideas. Maybe think em thru a bit before you just let it loose, hmm?

on the other front, I'm sick of people insta-typing people who criticize their opinions as NTs and then launching into "OMG they think they're hot shit" screeds. Maybe the ideas weren't very good to begin with and it doesn't take an NT specifically to call em out.
As someone who was outspoken in High School English class I can tell you that not everybody is out to showboat. Questions and challenges about your thoughts force you to be more coherent and articulate and - dare I say it - more thoughtful. Sometimes I asked questions because of what I found to be a disturbing lack of analysis, not to "look smarter than the teacher." I <3 my teacher, prolly cause she shared my sentiments about not hand-holding when people clearly weren't operating at their best.
