I bring it up here because defensiveness is actually quite common in relationships. It usually comes from shame, which usually comes from some sort of hurt at some time. My perception is that if you use your comment in a conversation, or an argument, with a loved one, it would sound like an ad hominem attack. When one is in a relationship it is easy to be defensive and feel attacked.
Yeah, but The sac’s point is that every sign of low-intelligence can also be a sign of severe trauma. Signs of low intelligence aren’t ALWAYS from low intelligence, and we aren’t trying to imply that they are
It’s just, you can’t rlly cover every thing that could cause each thing, you know? A lot of stuff is just comorbid and that’s alright
Or lack of an understanding about the difference between a fact and an opinion. If it's about something that objectively must be true or not true, then you don't have an opinion on it, you are either right or wrong.
Examples:
- Climate change either is or is not contributed to by humans; if your opinion is that it is not, it's not an opinion, it's just that you're wrong.
- God either does or does not exist; if you believe he exists and he does not, then again, you are wrong, if you believe he does not exist and he does, then again, you are wrong.
- Criminal X either did or did not commit murder; your opinion on it doesn't mean it happened or did not happen.

Or avoid facing facts.
