>I would argue that only you can damage your relationship with another person, because you are the one that decides how you feel.
A fine argument and I can say we get to act about how we feel, but wouldn’t agree that we have a full control about how we feel, if the average person actually possessed that ability lots of problems and things would be avoided, since people constantly act fully on feelings and then regret it, an extreme but simple example would be someone cheating because they had a huge fight with their girlfriend/wife just to regret it after the anger dissipates.
>Perhaps, but this is just an assumption you're making based on your view that most people cannot change this.
Let’s not go down this rabbit hole anon, this is a two way street and what im saying its an “educated guess” (which you could maybe agree on since you literally stated that most people would agree with my line of thinking "but with how you've gone from saying I'm talking out of my ass to claiming I'm advocating for conformity when I'd say most people, including yourself, would disagree with me") not a complete assumption, you yourself argue that “Because I don’t feel jealous anyone can do the same”, isn’t that a massive assumption, actually my “Alright, how do you know he could?” was a response to your assumption that he could, which again was based only in that you can, so who is really assuming here ? I would say both of us.
>In my life, I have really liked several girls. If they ever did not like me back because they liked someone else, I don't recall ever feeling negatively toward the person they liked because of it. If anything, it was my opinion of the girl that decreased with time.
So, you never felt jealousy, honestly I don’t think you can talk much about jealousy then, this is like someone talking about depression while never getting even close to suffering depression, you quite literally are talking not from your experience (or at least that seems to be the case) but what you know about the feeling probably due to osmosis.
>If it's something where my waifu is being shipped with someone else, I recognize that if I don't look at it, it simply doesn't exist. She is a fictional character and any perception of a relationship with me or anyone else exists entirely within my imagination.
So, your relationship exists in a vacuum, completely disconnected from everything else? Can’t really understand that being honest anon, to me my relationship with my waifu is not in my “imagination”, it’s a fact, so I can’t really say much about something I fundamentally don’t get.
>The rest of the post.
You’re really an oddity huh, pretty much everything exists in a vacuum to you it seems, not interacting with any other thing and you don’t even seem to have much “emotions” in general (or at least the way you talk about it doesn’t show em), you can and completely decide based on what you think more than what your emotions and feelings, which again its completely fine and valid but it’s not the case for most, and assuming that anyone can reach what you are based only in what you think is delusional, we need to look objectively at our experience of this world and what it brings before talking about someone else, especially when it comes to emotions which vary wildly between individuals, but well, that’s just my opinion I guess.
