How else are people even supposed to know what meaning is being used, if not mind-reading?

BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXPLAINED, REPEATEDLY, THE DEFINITION THEY ARE USING. HOLY SHIT, THIS ISN'T HARD.

Accepting the dictionary definition of a word does NOT require unlearning one's experiences.

Yes, it does. When you have been wired from birth to associate a soecific thing with a specific word, in order for the word to mean something else to you (and thus for you to use it correctly on a regular basis), you have to unlearn the meaning you were originally taught.

Also, people are all over subthreads pointing out what forgiveness means and saying "well, not for me!" over and over again as though that changes the definition. It feels a bit...derail-y?

The person who derailed the conversation is the one masturbating with the dictionary, kiddo. You got it backwards.

I don't want to minimize anybody's experiences

And yet, here you fucking are.

... you know, I was going to say that I was sorry you were raised in such a toxic situation, but you know what? You're pretty toxic yourself. No sympathy from me.

[(Anonymous)]

You have an awfully loose definition of "toxic" if it includes "pointing out how stupid someone's argument is" and "getting annoyed at having to repeat myself."

But fine by me. I don't want your sympathy.

So again: you think if someone comes into a conversation and says, "I define word with X definition in Y way", people are just all supposed to immediately start using Y definition that isn't actually correct?

How about instead finding correct words to describe a phenomenon? How about talking about your experiences without projecting them onto everyone else?

you have to unlearn the meaning you were originally taught.

Intellectually accepting a correct definition =/= emotionally internalizing it. Come on, anon.

The person who derailed the conversation is the one masturbating with the dictionary, kiddo. You got it backwards.

I'm talking about this whole thread, not just the one subthread. All over the thread people are talking about "I think forgiveness means X" (and quoting a widely accepted definition) and people are responding with "WELL TO ME IT MEANS Y" as though that should change the actual definition, or something.

And don't fucking call me "kiddo". Or are you just being a troll this whole time?

And yet, here you fucking are.

did you read the rest of that sentence or

No. But they also shouldn't call the person who learned a different definition "stupid."

How about instead finding correct words to describe a phenomenon? How about talking about your experiences without projecting them onto everyone else?

Because for them, that word is the correct one to describe that phenomenon. How about taking your own advice?

I'm talking about this whole thread, not just the one subthread.

SO AM I. Nobody started with the "well the actual definition of forgiveness is this" until after the first few people talked about the toxic version first.

And don't fucking call me "kiddo". Or are you just being a troll this whole time?

I'm calling you "kiddo" because you're acting like a passive-aggressive brat.

did you read the rest of that sentence or

Yes, as well as all your other sentences and you are, in fact, minimizing the fuck out of people's experiences. Knock it off.

Yeah, I'm done. I'm not here to be rudely insulted. bye
