I often find talking with guys more stressful than with girls. If i am to overanalyze, I probably subconsciously believe men are more judgmental and it matters more if they think i'm boring/weird/whatever, while girls=giggity goofy all unserious
You should not “criticize, condemn or complain” out of something getting to you, since that means something is taking away your autonomy. You should only do something like that when it is for influencing others, not the other way around.
Coming up with these kinds of responses isn't hard per se, but is there anyone like me in that the tone I make it out always sound like I'm arguing as an inferior?
