Sorry, I didn’t mean to say that I can’t challenge myself at all. In practice I do try to challenge myself. I am saying that debates, where other people challenge me, help me fill in the gaps where I miss things, or am not being objective.
Sometimes my inner dialogue says, “The way I’m thinking about this makes to me, and it seems logical and sound. I have tried but I can’t think of anything wrong with it.” And then I’ll explain my reasoning to someone who disagrees, and they might say for example, “but you haven’t considered this fact, or this possibility.” And they’re right, I haven’t. That doesn’t necessarily mean I’m wrong, or that they’re right, but it does mean that I haven’t been 100% effective at challenging myself to justify my own positions.
Hi everyone,
A few of you have met me on Omegle. I finally signed up and made an account here like you guys suggested.
About me: I’m 26 years old, and my hobbies include creative writing and PC games. My favorite TV show is Rupaul’s Drag Race.
I think I share almost all of the main positions that people tend to have in this community. But I actually find disagreements more interesting, so that’s mainly what I’m here for. One of my passions in life is debating. I did debate team and that sort of thing when I was younger, but now I’m more interested in how to seriously persuade people, not just debating for show. I still have a lot of improving to do, though. If anyone wants to exchange notes or get some tips, then let me know.
Love,
Flora
