I cant answer questions that start with: Are you...

Especially not, if the option to answer is: never

That means, I will have to be a little bit of a hypocrite sometimes, as it belongs to humanity.

Anyone who answers "never" is a hypocrite!

Ironically, if I'm not mistaken, you just did. :scratch: :tongue: :wink: :lol:

I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, but I know that I can be hypocritical. I have "aha" moments, when I've been complaining about something ad infinitum, where I stop myself and say, "although....maybe I should shut up now....because I do exactly the same thing."


This is me too. I don't always like to read something that seems to go on for-ever-and-ever, unless the writer has made it all extremely interesting and captures my attention in the first sentence or two. Often when I reply to something, I have to tell myself to stop writing or I'll go back and delete some of what I have written.

Restatement: I cant say I "always" or "never" experience a spesific psychological state. That means that there are chances I will be anything in any given moment. Because its relative.

By the way: relative has become my favorite word :)

Makes me feel a little hypocritical expecting others to answer posts I wouldn't answer myself.


For it to be hypocrisy you'd have to claim that you did regularly read and answer those posts. As things stand, you are not being hypocritical.
