It is..
I still believe that some things that I said are true. I still believe that I'm right on the overall message about this forum, this discussion, One Piece or politics.. But I'm destroying all of that message with my behavior. I've been understanding for a while that problem, but I never REALLY looked at myself for an answer.
I just realized that I made myself the main character - and other people the secondary characters - in my own world.. A form of main character syndrom but on steroids.
And now... I realize and accept what it means and why I've been alienating everyone. While I was listening... I was never truly understanding or rather.. empathizing and accepting the agency of others. There has always been this need for control.
This behavior didn't appear in a void. I had to protect myself from isolation, depression, a hardcore mental condition, a lot of change in my life, realizations and probably some leftovers from traumas... I had to understand how to deal with all of that while my politicization was starting to take all the place.
But this is not an excuse.
I confused everything in a big blob of self centering and conflictuality and thus I hurt everyone everywhere.
And for that, truly, I'm sorry.
---------
Being a storytelling addict doesn't help, I overdramatize everything and I see narrative pattern everywhere. Perhaps I will never be able to completely get rid of that, but I think I can finally let go and stop putting myself at the center of my world now.
I now need to find a way to align this while keeping my political praxis intact.
This is not a strategy anymore. I want to grow and listen.

This is actually some really good self reflection.
You don't need to be wrong. Everyone has opinions that they believe is right; it's all about the approach. I think, for example, that Wano and Egghead are top tier in Thematic Storytelling, but terrible in facing and execution. You could believe that the latters are excellent and defend it with a passion. That is all perfectly fine. Yes I could have those opinions because I missed something or is disappointed about something subjective, but you lose the plot if you act like I have those opinions because I don't understand story telling and try to "educate" me on the "right way" to consume media.
I or anyone else would read more positively if you simply speak from your point of view without so directly and blatantly bringing the others into question.
Watch out for stingrays
