    No. I used a framing device to say there’s things I super don’t want to explain. You misinterpreted that to mean I’d love to explain them.

      Then why did you bring it up?

      It seems like you just wanted to say that you had something to share without sharing.

      We all have plenty more to explain than is physically possible.

      If you want to share, share! I’m listening.

        It’s a direct response to your insistence “it’s just words,” and what it means is, “I don’t want to say those words.”

        It’s one fucking sentence, dude. It’s not even a garden-path sentence. It goes ‘I could, but I don’t wanna.’ You can stop hassling me as if I’ve reneged on a promise to do a thing, when the entire premise was, I do not want to do that thing.

          No one is forcing you to say anything.

          But I’m happy to listen.

          What could you do that you don’t wanna?

          Clarifying boundaries is important.

          What does anything that I was talking about have to do with making people do what they don’t want to?

          That’s the magic thing about words: you have the freedom to say what you want and not say what you don’t want. What you say is entirely up to you!

          The more you practice, the better you’ll be.

          I’m always here to listen.
