Moose is a good example of an animal that might kill you for looking at him funny in rutting season. Especially if you have a dog.

I’m pretty sure American sign language looks different than that.

Antifi?

Maybe this person is an asshole and has the reasonable expectation that people will say rude things about them if they can’t understand what they are saying.

That’s an excellent idea! It’s a pretty badly failed experiment.

Is that manatee in your pants or are you REALLY happy to see me?

Or “men’s white briefs”.

They fit relatively tightly compared to boxers, even when the right size.

I would also say it its important to understand and accept that what a person feels is valid even if something it is based on is ‘wrong’. If I hurt you, you hurt, and that is important to address even if I didn’t mean to hurt you, even if I think that isn’t a thing that should be hurtful, even if you misunderstand my motives.

When I act a certain way, you may think it means a certain thing, because that it what it has meant coming from other people, or what it would mean coming from you, or what you believe it is supposed to mean. I on the other hand may not even realize that another could take it to mean something other then what it means for me. It can be hard understanding what another person’s actions or reactions mean, and doubly so because we do not always understand ourselves.

Well if you both understand the problem (meaning the yelling and not listening) you could agree to a ‘format’. Like, say, each having a turn taking for, say 10 minutes while the other truly listens without interrupting even if they believe that what they hear is wrong. That still be too hard and you may need a moderator, to help interpret, and draw attention to areas of misunderstanding. That is much of what relationship councillors do, facilitate communication which admittedly is hard.

High West Double Rye is really good for the price.
