Severing Friendships

Maybe it's just living in DC where everything is on a 24 hour cycle, but I'm done with talk that includes


-Politics

-'Systemic racism'

-'Gender identity'

I'm just done. If you bring up any of the above I'll smile politely and walk away. I'm cutting you out. It's freeing.

You do you.

I think occasional discussions on these topics are great ways to talk through current events. Anyone who talks about them 100% of the time is exhausting. There’s more to life than that.

I can’t do it if I feel like I’m being lectured all the time. My views on all these things are progressive, and I don’t want or need my friends lecturing me on stuff that just learned 20 minutes ago via a twitter thread. If it comes up organically or someone has something new or interesting on the topic, sure. But I am so tired of progressive people just sitting around virtue signaling to one another about this stuff. It’s as bad as people who do nothing but talk about the items they’ve purchased recently. It’s boring and driven by ego.

I'm fine with occasional discussions about these things. But when they become the focus of every get together /conversation it gets tiring.

+1 op isn’t dismissing the issues or their importance, but if they fully consume all your discussions, it’s exhausting. There’s more to life and hopefully your identity than the three issues listed above.

+1000.

How you feel about your body or whether you were slighted while grocery shopping has absolutely zero bearing on my life. You can't force me to care.

Those are your issues, not mine.

Deal with it.

This Post should be on political section.

If you don't want to talk about politics during an election year in Washington DC, you really need to move elsewhere. Try Nebraska.

I'm guessing OP is the OP of the Husband Wants to Move thread and she's butthurt that everyone identified her as a racist idiot.
